Rock Around the Dock

Love your mp3 player, but want to share your tunes with the whole house? Bag yourself a docking station

We’re a nation surgically attached to our iPods – and now, as the final generation of CD-player stereos begins to die out, it’s a good time to invest in a dock and speaker system for your little fella. It’s a stylish, space-saving way to blast music throughout your home, and, packed with high-spec tech, sound quality is top-notch. But which one is going to fill your home with the sweetest sounds?

iLuv i552

£65, iLuv

This budget portable dock powers up via mains or batteries for music on the road. It's also got an AM/FM radio and a 3.5mm line-in for hooking-up non-iPod mp3 players. Pretty good for the price.

Maxim Rating: 3/5

Intempo RD1

£130, Intemp Digital

Sneaking in a DAB/FM radio and a snoozeable clock alarm, the sleek RD1 is more than just a dock. It also boasts adjustable EQ and a remote for across-the-room rocking out.

Maxim Rating: 3/5

Altec Lansing T612

£139, Altec Lansing

This fella is just as happy housing an iPod or iPhone – receive a call and the music pauses; re-dock and it starts again. Its boomy bass-enhancement gives your bottom end a pump.

Maxim Rating: 4/5

B&W Zeppelin

£400, Bowers & Wilkins

Its speakers have graced Abbey Road, and studio-standard tech oozes from this curvy little beauty, which boasts hi-fi stereo sound as well as a hefty price tag. One for serious audio-pervs only.

Maxim Rating: 5/5
