I love it!!

Has great sound and I love the remote control. It's really nice that it charges the iPod while it's docked. Most of all this speaker system is high quality and has wonderful sound, which is surprising for its size. It is rather sleek-looking and I like how it looks in my living room.

Great for new ipods. Not so for 3rd Gen. ipods.

I love this item and feel I got it for a great price at about $[...] bucks!
BUT........I have an older 3rd Generation ipod and some of the music does not play properly. I tried a friends newer ipod and it plays perfectly.
Seems music downloaded from the internet plays great. Music downloaded from CD's, is distorted. Can't figure out why other than it has something to do with older ipods.
Either way, it's a really good ipod player and worth the price.

LOVE IT! High Quality, Works Great, MINOR FLAW

Does everything it's supposed to. Great quality, good build, compatible with my Old Ipod MINI! Only issue I have with it is that when you unplug it and then plug it back in, the music plays FULL BLAST and is a bit scary. Just make sure you are close by to reduce the volume :P

Remote is a bit finicky too, but I dont really use it that much. It's hard to skip songs and instead, it fast forwards it. You need to press FIRMLY on the button and aim it perfectly at the unit.

Overall, 8.9 out of 10.

Great sounding dock w/ a bit of buzz w/ no signal

This is a great airy sounding dock that works well with your iphone or ipod; if you can place your head right in front of it, you get an even better image. The only nits are a buzz when nothing is plugged in and the default volume when you plug it in is far too loud (you have to lower the volume after you turn it on every time).

It's pretty good when priced right

The Mirage Omnivibe is an impressive looking docking speaker for the iPod. It leaves quite a large footprint and is best suited for an area that can support the amount of space needed and not suited for putting on a kitchen counter. The 360 degree sound is not something I really notice and seems a little lackluster to me, I guess I was expecting more. This unit does not do well at lower volumes and sounds a little muddy when played quietly, however when played at higher volumes the music rings out clearly and is very pleasant. I have my omnivibe on the kitchen counter where it does take up alot of space and usually listen to it while cooking and cleaning up at low to medium volumes and I must say I am not satisfied with the sound quality at those levels their is no punch to the music at lower volumes. When I bring the unit outside to enjoy music while we sit on our deck and enjoy the summer sunshine I absolutely love the sound quality as the Omnivibe is pushed to higher patio filling volumes. I purchased this unit from Vanns through Amazon for only 5O dollars and knowing what the msrp originally was it is a good buy. No complains about Vanns either. They were a pleasure to do business with. If you are looking something to play loudly to fill a room then this is the unit for you, if you are looking for something that sounds good at lower volumes you may be better off looking at something smaller or way more expensive.

I do have some quality issues I will address. After a couple months of owning the Omnivibe the onboard + volume button stopped working making it so I can only control the + volume using the included remote. I contacted Mirage about the problem and they offered to replace the unit with an RMA and they were decently responsive so no issue with the user support. But I must say the included remote control is garbage, it barely controls the unit up close (2 feet away or directly from behind) and forget about it at distances more than a couple of feet, it is extemely frustrating pointing and clicking trying to control the volume or move to the next track. The other thing about the remote (and this is not a gripe) I was hoping I could control the iPod a little bit more with the remote. This remote only allows you to turn the unit on/off, play/pause, volume up/down and mute, and move to previous or next track. You cannot use the remote to navigate your iPod. I should have done a little more research when purchasing but the 5O pricetag hooked me. All in all I am satisfied with the Omnivibe but don't advise anyone to spend anymore on this than you have to.
