Onkyo ABX-N300 Wireless Music System
Product Description
The ABX-N300 is just another stylish iPod/iPhone audio system, right? Wrong. It's so much more than that. Sure, the sleek, sliding aluminum top-panel conceals a dock for iPod/iPhone. But beneath that, you'll find advanced wireless audio functionality supported by impeccable Onkyo audio engineering. The system's Wi-Fi capability lets you play internet radio or stream audio from a PC or media server on your home network. The ABX-N300 is also compatible with AirPlay. Whatever you're listening to on your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad can be sent to the ABX-N300 wirelessly and given a serious boost in power and fidelity. You can even incorporate iTunes from your Mac or Windows PC and control playback using a remote app on your hand-held Apple device. If that wasn't enough, the ABX-N300 also plays nice with Rocketboost devices, further expanding the wireless playback possibilities. Say goodbye to cables. Wireless audio is here to stay.

Gorgeous Design but ....
By Zulma
The Onkyo ABX-N300 Wireless Music System is gorgeous in design. Beautifully black sleek finish with a silver sliding dock cover that turns off and hides the iPod/iPhone dock and touch screen controls. It comes with a remote control which I had to use to connect to my network. It took several tries before I could connect to my password protected network. I knew I was entering the correct password, but it just would not take. I was really disappointed that Onkyo does not offer an app to download to connect from your IOs device directly. EVen though it has an external antenna, airplay constantly dropped in and out.The sound is rich and deep, and yes it can get loud. Why do I give it a 3 star- rating? They just released this and it is not compatible with the iPhone 5 or the 2012 iPods. It will only work with 30 pin connector dock IOs devices. I have the iPhone 5 and I am waiting for shipment of my adapter since it is on back order until mid December 2012. Onkyo could of at least included an adapter knowing Apple was going to release the new versions in the Fall.Honestly, I believe this WiFi speaker has more cons than pros. Lack of app to control on IOS devices, connectivity issues and no adapter for new 8 pin docking for iPhone and iPod devices.

By P. Colin McGraw
I had high hopes for this speaker, since Onkyo A/V receivers have a rock solid reputation, but the ABX-N300 ended up being a mix of cool looking industrial design but so-so sound.The speaker looks like it's floating on its metal base, hovering is space, and it curves toward the base in a way that the pictures don't do justice. The top is one sleek piece of black plastic with touch-sensitive areas that light up with blue LED "buttons" that fade away when not in use. The top metal piece slides to the side to reveal a 30-pin Apple dock, but you'll keep it closed and just use AirPlay if you're like me. The whole effect is that the ABX-N300 looks elegant and clean (even if the external antenna is SO early 2000s).As for the sound, well... it's okay, but probably on the bottom end of most of the AirPlay speakers I've used. The clarity isn't phenomenal and the bass doesn't pound like some other speakers, and the biggest problem is that it distorts heavily at high volume. If you're just listening to music in your bedroom it probably won't matter, but the speaker won't cut it overriding the din of a party.That said it IS compatible with iPhone 5 via AirPlay (which I don't think is clear from other reviews), though AirPlay still isn't the most reliable of technologies, which isn't this speaker's fault.In summary, this is one of the better looking AirPlay speakers around, but not the best sounding one at this price point. Get it if you like the design, otherwise, consider a few more options in your shopping.

Great speakers for iPod
By D. Vance
This is an excellent speaker dock. I used it with my iPod touch and it worked great. It can get pretty loud if that's your thing. I also used an auxiliary cable (Not included) to connect it to my laptop and watch The Amazing Spider-man. The sound quality was great.One of the great things about this dock, that sets it apart from others, is how easy it is to connect to the internet.Some of the docks I've worked with required you to download an app,or they only worked with certain types of internet connections. This dock's screen shows everything clearly. The instructions make everything a breeze.It may take a little while to input your code if your wifi is locked, because of the way you change keys with the arrow button.All in all, an excellent speaker and dock.
