quality product.......2007-12-22
Gave our 14-year-old daughter this docking station for early Christmas present and it is nice. Setup and operation must be simple because she's never asked a single question. Sound quality is great - better than any boom box we purchased for her in the past. A little pricey for a docking station and fm radio compared to all the ipod products out there but I have no knowledge of their quality. This station does have a remote which is obviously handy for laying around in bed while playing your Zen that sits on your dresser. She controls all sound functions plus can search her play list with it. $170 was more than I thought I'd have to pay but there are few choices for the Zen mp3 players. I am happy with the sound and quality of the product though.
Bad Business all together.......2007-12-19
I looked here at Amazon from a link provided by my wife to buy this particular product. It was "Out of Stock", so I found the Cambridge Soundworks website and found that they still had some "In Stock". I placed my order and after 7 days of them processing my order I called them. Apparently the item I ordered was "Out of Stock" and I must have been able to order it before they could update their site. The Customer Service Rep also told me that it usually takes them about 24hrs to update the site. So I asked why was I not contacted at all about this after 7 days?
So I cancelled my order there and had to come home with hat in hand about how one of the big presents for my wife's Christmas was not going to make it for the big morning. She then found it on Amazon again "In Stock", again from Cambridge, so we ordered it...again. Amazon sent us an email the next morning that the item was in fact "Out of Stock".
At this point I can only believe that both companies are in the business of bait and switch on the holidays and I think it stinks. I build websites that have ecommerce...I know that there are ways to control your stock up-to-date even when other people are selling your merchandise. I am only left with the conclusion that they are taking these orders just to secure orders, knowing very well that they will not be shipped anywhere near Christmas. This kind of practice would be okay if it was stated anywhere during the ordering that it was guaranteed that it would not be shipped until date X, but even on Amazon there are ads all over to take advantage of quicker shipping to make sure you get it on Christmas.
Buyer beware. If they can't guarantee it, then don't do business online with them.
Amazon...you shoud review your list of "businesses" that you do business wtih as well.
Is the product good? I don't even think it matters at this point. I'm just upset that I now see this product again for sale on your site when you know damn well it's Out of Stock.
Excellent sounding Speaker System!.......2007-11-14
Excellent sounding Speaker System! The remote works from a long distance. I am completely satisfied with this product. It is worth every penny!
Playdock for Zen.......2007-10-30
Amazon delivered the unit two days early even with the free shipping. The more I deal with Amazon, the happier I am with them. The sound out of this little unit is fabulous for it's size. I have a 1500 sq ft deck and this little guy will fill it with rich sound. I have been using wireless speakers from my home sound system until I got the playdock. It's functionality is everthing I wanted except that the FM antena doesn't work with the 30gb model of the Creative Zen M. I did read that on some of the reviews but then at least one review said that it did work. If anyone knows how to make it work that would be wonderful.
remote functions limited with Zen V plus .......2007-10-29
I recently bought a Playdock Zen. I found that the remote control back (left pointing arrow) and scroll (up and down arrows) functions do not work with the Zen V Plus player. I assumed the remote was broken, but I was told by Creative technical support that by design these functions do not work. This means that one cannot access, scroll through, or select from the menu, making the remote mostly useless. The documentation does not explain these deficiencies, but rather describes functions for all buttons on the remote. This product is poorly designed.

Biggest sound you can get from a portable system.......2007-07-07
The Cambridge speaker system is by far the best I have heard. I needed something that was loud and clear enough to play outside for cookouts and at the beach when there are large groups spread out. The speakers I had before just didn't do the job. I've used the playdock 3 times since the purchase and the system has sold itself to a couple of people already. I'm not sure exactly how long a full charge will last because I haven't run it down yet. At full volume, I've gotten over 5 hours so far.
PLAYDOCK.......2006-05-30
A little heavier than I expected ( PLAYDOCK weighs about 16 pounds ), and obviously quite well built, so it's sturdy if not terribly "mobile." The PLAYDOCK is the answer if you want to listen to music with your non-IPOD MP3 player out loud, without earphones. This thing thumps, too - nice low bass, with good seperation of sound ( although I find the "wide" setting makes the seperation a little too exaggerated so I use it in normal mode.) It also functions as a power dock, so it charges the MP3 player while not in use. Best of all I didn't have to read an entire manual to use it - it went from box to desk-top use in about 5 minutes. Highly recommended.

Well, fate is stopping me from giving it 1 star..........2007-03-25
This "boomball" system was very good while it lasted. CDs rocked your socks off, and the antenna for the radio was NOT flimsy(The radio reception might I add, rocked my socks off as well). But after taking a fall from 2 feet, it shattered in front of me. Um, what just happened? was what I was thinking. 2 feet? P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C! But, I really liked the button positioning. It is EXTREMELY similar to the MP3851SP sport boombox button positioning, which might I add is probably the ONLY durable Memorex boombox besides the MP3142 (sorry Memorex). Overall, you'll like it, but just DON'T drop it!
