More M&G Hoskins reviews , RRP: AU$499.00

The good:

  • Attractive design
  • Excellent sound quality, with decent bass for a system without a subwoofer
  • Separate speakers
  • Line-in/line-out
  • Ability to recharge iPod and built-in USB port for PC connectivity

The bad:

  • Can't control volume without remote
  • Remote control offers only rudimentary navigation

The bottomline:

Recent price drops have meant the Monitor Audio i-Deck is one of the best-sounding and most attractive iPod speaker systems for the money.

Editors' rating:

8.2/10
