After deciding I wanted an I-phone dock for my bedroom (good system downstairs so doesnt need to be expensive) I started looking aorund with a price point of £100-£150. I looked and listened to quite a few.

I was impressed by the Sony AIR-SW10Ti which is going for £149 in the local Sony shop (RRP was around £350), but was wondering if any of you have bought something around this price yourselves and could recommend an alternative to check out?

I've got one of these in the bedroom. iPod dock, two alarms, DAB radio and the sound quality's pretty good too. It's also propely shielded so you can use an iPhone without having to put it in airplane mode.

Sticks.

This is surprisingly good http://www.lichfieldhifi.co.uk/shop/product_info.p... and makes a good enough sound for a small/med room despite not being able to take extra speakers. Has fm and dab, and an aux socket as well as the ipod dock. Won't last forever, but I'm sure I saw them @£75 on fleabay (new) a while back.

I've got one of these: Revo iBlik which is perfect size for my needs, and is ok playing music from the iPod ... also is an internet radio and streams music from my server.

ETA: I bought mine as a refurb, it was refurbished by Revo and comes with a full guarantee.

I've got a Bose wave radio (off eBay, about £150) mated to a dock. I spent ages listening to everything and only this sounded acceptable (to me).
You might get some interference if you have bad mobile reception, however.
