How would this sound as a stand alone unit to play music from iPod compared to sound docks made for iPods?

Very good sound quality. Most likely much better than docking station. Capable of much higher undistorted volume levels And better bass.

Hmmm... I might say "Overkill," but I firmly believe Maxim 37: There is no 'overkill'; there is only 'open fire' and 'time to reload.' The system is a very nice surround sound system (not THX-level but very nice for the price point) and your iPod would sound fantastic, but it may be more than you need. Then again, if you don't already have a surround system, this should fit the bill nicely for both uses!

You will certainly be able to crank it up in a way that you can't with any dock. I've also got a TV, b-ray, cable box, and occasionally a laptop plugged into it, and they all sound terrific. It's not audiophile quality, but for normal people in normal spaces, and for the price, you can't go wrong.

It will sound better than any dock as long as:1. Your music isn't overly compressed, which most people tend to do because the iPod headphone out is designed for garbage sound (portable ear buds basically) so no sense in wasting iPod storage space with larger files.2. You use the line out on your pod. Headphone connector will not sound good with this setup (or any setup really). Use the line out and the sound will be great though.

This is a pretty powerful system to use just for ipod. it would be like getting a computer cuz you want a calculator.

Not docked in the front, this speaker has a 30-pin connector so you'd need an adapter. However, this speaker does have a 1/8" jack in the back and comes with a 1/8"-1/8" cable, so you could plug it into the headphone jack of your ipod and use it as a speaker, just not using the dock capability.

It's Bluetooth compatible so you could connect your iPod wirelessly and stream your music. Or you could hook it up via aux cable. Several ways of playing your iPod music through this sound bar. It's a great system for the price.

It functions but the interface is not very well designed. I found it difficult enough to use that I just hooked mine up using a cable from the speaker out to this unit and let the iPod manage the music.

This dock should work for that. It will play through an aux input, and even includes a cable for it.

Yes the IPOD is too weak; a boost will bring out the clarity in your music. I use FIIO AMPS. You will love these cans.

It's not worth it at all. Very distorted sound. But I don't know if it will work with your dock station. I wouldn't buy it

This speaker is compatible with all ipod's that have the 30 pin connector. (Except the ipod shuffle, which it doesn't sound like is your concern anyway...) If you were get a newer ipod that has the lightning dock, you're going to have to connect it through the aux (auxiliary) port which won't charge your ipod like the 30 pin connector will. This is actually a pretty good sounding speaker. It runs on plug in AND battery power which is good. It's a pretty nice consideration if you're looking for an inexpensive ipod dock and if you're able to find one on the Amazon Warehouse Deals, you can usually save yourself a few bucks.

Yes , the Pure works great as an internet radio. That is all I use mine for , not as a dock for an Ipod.

I don't use that iPod specifically, but has an iPod dock so it should work just fine.

Yes you can play your own music without the app. Plus it comes with a few different connectors for different apple products. So your iPod will work on this!! :) hope that helps!

You can run audio out of your iPod onto the system via 1/8" stereo jack. Keep in mind you will be hearing stereo out of 5.1 speakers, not real 5.1 If you're looking for a system that will allow you to play audio from your iPod (which only outputs stereo), there are plenty of stereo systems out there that have better quality sound and MUCH better speakers such as this Bose system:http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001DLTDQC/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?qid=1388776139&sr;=8-5π=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70 You can run audio out of your iPod onto the system via 1/8" stereo jack.

No. The iOnly Play is a stand-alone speaker system with an older type iPod dock connector (to use with newer iPods/iPhones you'll need an adapter). This device provides stereo speakers for your iPod. (See comments regarding compatibility.)The device is not intended to be connected to your existing Onkyo system (it was meant to be stand-alone). You -could-, technically, connect the headphone output from any system to the input jack on the iOnly. But if your intent is to connect your iPod to your existing Onkyo receiver then this isn't the device you're looking for.

This item can serve as a speaker to any of your audio system and yes, it will still play and light up. You don't need an iPod to make it work.

The unit sounds amazing. It does come with several different adapters for the other ipods. I can't say with certainty that yours is one of them. But, Amazon has a good return policy.

Yes, I dock mine on this 24/7! It has been an awesome player with fantastic sound quality (and I am very particular about sound quality). Never needed to charge it via my computer. I also love the portability. I can move it from room to room with no cords. One thing though: I have an older iPod, but I'm not sure the connector is compatible with a newer iPod, so you might want to check that out, too.

It's hit and miss for playing music, sometimes it plays on the docking station and sometimes it doesn't so I end up using the aux cable it comes with. The docking station never charges even if you get the music to play.
