will HC55 work with non apple products? Will this unit work with droid phones and MP3 players as opposed to ipods and iphones?

I have a lesser version of this player - the one Amazon sells for about $80 here - and I use it with my Zune player. It has to be connected as an Aux device using an cable, but it sounds good for that purpose. I was going to purchase another one for another room in my home. I don't know if it works with droid phones, but I would guess not since it's a different OS than the iPhone....it would be nice to see a manufacturer make some of these type products where they didn't lock themselves into Apple products - and actually support the HUGE droid marker out there.....if Apple will let them

I just ordered this one so I'll know within a day or two if it works as advertised. But, I'm buying it for the same purpose - to act as a media streamer for my Droid phone and iPad. Since it has bluetooth I feel confident that it will work - and other reviewers seem to be having good luck. I'll let you know. As a backup I could use the AUX input but I'd rather not - I'm planning on putting this in a location that would make it inconvenient to plug in my phone.

I can tell you I love this unit. It has the connector for the iPhone 5. It also has on the back of the unit an input jack that uses the jack size as iPod headphone. Your iPod just won't charge off of that one. You'll be happy with it.

I called the Satechi Co, to ask specifically about a FM Receiver that would work with iPod, and this does an exceptional job! They may have a certain one that works better with iPhone, if you call them. It works best away from populations with lots of radio stations.

It works with my iPhone 4, my iPod and my iPad so I am very happy with the unit. It works great!!

This device only works with the older Apple iDock interface (before iPhone 5); if your "mp3 player" is not a iPhone, iPad, iTouch or iPod it will not work with your device.

I'm afraid I don't know---I'm not a techie and only use it for CDs and the FM radio. The product specs may delineate which iPod and iPhone versions are supported or you might try going to a big box electronics store in your town and looking at the unit yourself.

I am responsible for probably more than a dozen of these units being purchased by friends and family - that's how much they liked mine. Whether it works with Apple products, I do not know. But, assuming Apple supports standard Bluetooth, my guess is that it would. It's a solid, heavy little unit, not in stereo, of course, but very good sound quality. We have used mine for background music at a party in a large room. Good luck!

Not sure about non-apple product. I have used it with iphone, ipod and ipad though. Right now I have a wire running from the otherwise unused RGB "Tape" input connectors to a 3.5 mm "headphone" jack. I use something like this piece available on amazon for less than $5 http://www.amazon.com/eForCity-3-5mm-Auxiliary-Cable-Cord/dp/B0042DIZTE

I don't use apple products but it's a normal headphone jack 3.5mm. I don't see why that device wouldn't have one. It should work iff you can plug in standard headphones and earbuds to listen to music in other words.

It has worked for my iPod shuffle, iPhone, and iPad. So guessing will work just fine with anything that has the normal headphone jack.

Will work easily with any Apple iPod or itouch that has the 30 pin connector. Our old I touch works via blue tooth as well, just like my iPhone 5 works. Best/fullest sound is with docking, but blue tooth is not bad and is so convenient!

I use this with an iPhone specifically and from what I've experienced it doesn't seem to work with anything other than an apple product. I haven't tried it on many devices but when it was plugged into an android device it didn't work at all.

does this speaker work with non-Apple MP3 players? we are considering a Sandisk player. Thanks.

Don't have an Iphone, so I don't know; but the 'output' jack is standard 3.5mm common to ipods and most mp3 devices; so if the Iphone has that, then it should work

The headphone works with almost every device that takes the standard 3.5 stereo plug, but the volume control on the cord only works with Apple products

I would be leery of the compatibility. It should work fine with the aux input. I have had no real support from Onkyo on this device, I used an I Phone 4 s on my TX-SR507. Having said that I was worried it wouldn't work with the newer I Phones. If your receiver has the universal doc. tho. I seen no reason why it shouldn't work with the earlier I devices.

I have an Iphone 5 and it works fine. It utilizes Bluetooth technology so as long as your phone or MP3 player has Bluetooth it should be able to pair with it. I have also used mine with a fourth generation IPod touch. It is a great speaker and I never get to use mine as much because my daughter always has it. Enjoy it.
