While there's room for improvement, it easily earns our Editor's Choice for high-end iPod speaker docks. Design The 6. Dre logo is emblazoned. It's certified for both iPods and iPhones, so you'll never hear any interference in the speakers from your phone. Continuing a recent theme in iPod docks , the Beatbox is wedge-shaped, making it a perfect fit for room corners.
The docking area is to the left of the top panel, and a hand-grip for easy lifting is hollowed out of the top's middle area. A Power button and a Volume knob sit up top as well—unfortunately, they're the only controls on the dock itself. The front panel is all about showing off the quite-visible speakers, which are situated behind a black grille. The back panel houses a 3. There is a mysterious port on the back labeled "Wireless Module"—removing the rubber cover exposes a connection slot for, according to the manual, "future use with the Monster Streamcast Wireless System.
The most disappointing aspect of the Beatbox is its remote control. You cannot change artists, albums, or playlists. You will have to do all iPod navigation on your docked iPod or iPhone.
For such a high-end dock, this is pretty weak, but for a dock that's also without any navigation controls on the system itself, it is a major shortcoming.
In both cases, though, the docks are saved by their stellar audio performance. Five plastic iPod tray adapters and two silicon rubber "feet" come with the Beatbox, and can be placed underneath the front panel on either side.
Ostensibly, this is to angle speakers more towards your ears by tilting the unit slightly backwards, but if you have the Beatbox on a desk or table, this isn't going to do you much good—even when you are sitting, and even with the feet on, the drivers point towards your chest, not your ears. Thus, you will want to place the Beatbox on a higher surface, ideally at ear level.
You may also want to experiment with the dock's placement before immediately placing it in a corner, as placing it close to a wall or in a corner is likely to enhance the already powerful bass response. Likewise, placing it upon a wooden surface that can resonate will make the bass seem significantly more intense.
Performance The Beatbox is wider than most iPod docks, which allows for better stereo separation, and its four drivers a pair each of two-inch tweeters and 5. Your ears are better able to sense direction from higher frequencies, which is why where you place a subwoofer in a room matters far less than where your main speakers go—the same principle is at work here.
The bass performance on the Beatbox is intense.

Dre Beatbox is a true standout. Two 2 inch tweeters and 5.
