George is a pleasing and cleverly conceived iPod system that sounds better than virtually all of the sub-$400 iPod rigs we’ve heard (though its sound can be topped by the best iPod systems now available in the $400–$600 range). But the things that real...

Abstract: The George by Chestnut Hill Sound is one of the more ambitious entries into the iPod accessory field. With the iPod dock on top of the unit, the George is similar in size to the I-Sonic or Bose Wave but it is especially for iPods. The white audio syste...
Abstract: The George is an impressive package of technology, a great iPod speaker system, and a very good desktop stereo. It provides excellent sound quality, is easy to use, and offers unique features not found on any other audio system we’ve seen. The fact...
Abstract: Face it: Earbuds suck. Especially when youre at home and want to turn it up a little. There are iPod docks that provide a little amplification, but they tend to be mediocre at best. If you want to control the way you play your music, let George do it....

High-end iPod speaker system/radio; detachable front panel that doubles as an advanced iPod remote; remote has a range of 25 feet; RF Zigbee transmission eliminates line-of-sight limitations; rich, detailed sound; relatively sleek design; upgradeable f...
Its expensive, theres no video output, and it doesnt handle heavy bass all that well.
In addition to its upgradeablility and customizable colors, the George sets itself apart from other upscale iPod tabletop radios with a unique and useful visual wireless remote. Price range: $499.00 - $499.99
Very cool remote control that mirrors the iPods menu structure and content; great alarm features; accurate sound reproduction.
Sound style may not be for everyone; very high price, compared to comparable devices; bland design; cannot synchronize iPod in dock.
The Chestnut Hill Sounds George system delivers impeccably accurate sound -- so accurate, in fact, that casual music lovers who just want to fill a room with big, sweet-sounding music may be turned off by Georges comparatively dull (if sonically tr...
A feature-laden all-in-one iPod speaker system with most of the best features from leading AM/FM clock radios and iPod display remotes, capable of being user-customized in sound, and eventually both looks and non-iPod attachments, as well. Includes rel...
Price is high by iPod speaker standards, and doesn’t include standalone remote control charging base, which will be all but necessary if you frequently carry the rechargeable battery-sapping remote into other rooms away from the speaker base. Pr...
Because George brings so much to the table - clock radio, wireless iPod display remote, and a powerful all-in-one speaker system - and does each feature at least pretty well, there will be some who insist that it should receive our highest recommendati...
Detachable remote that controls a wide variety of functions. Superior bass response. Extremely powerful, distortion-free speaker performance. Frequency-specific EQ controls. Customizable iPod/radio alarm clock.
Speakers are not angled upward, so dock must sit at ear level for optimum sound. Disables video from being played on iPod screen. Speakers arent detachable, so the "sweet spot" is limited.
Minor design flaws keep this otherwise fantastic iPod dock from earning a perfect score. Is it worth the steep price? Yes....
