O/T mp3 Docking station + fm radio ADVICE PLEASE

Postby Christies Child » Sat Nov 21, 2009 12:29 pm

With Crimble on the horizon, we asked our daughter what would she like from the family and grand parents for Crimble :?: :?: :?:

mp3 docking with fm radio ....please.... was the reply :) :) :)

Now as sad old farts we really don't know much about quality of sound etc... :? :? :?

So we thought we'd turn to SVs, the font of all knowledge (except football of course :lol: ) and ask for some help :oops: :oops: :oops:

Any advice would be most welcome. Max cost £100 :) :) :)

You are more likely going to get DAB radio these days as analogue radio such as FM is being phased out.

Now with like all electrical items you pay for what you get.

As you are shopping for children, you don't really want a hi-tech pricey docking system, I can suggest these from ASDA online who general sell good quality and well made items.

All depends how much you want to pay and if you want separate speakers.

I guess for 100 quid you will get summat of quality,I got myself an Ipod docking station to use on nights (Shhhhhh) and the volume and sound quality is first class, even with those big green things whiring around outside my office. And only around 30 quid t'boot. Cannot remember the name though..(Edit later when I get home) Home now.... "Intempo"
Cheap and very cheerfull.

To be fair to Nerso, he couldn't tell from your original post that you are an old fart! ;) :lol: :lol:
