Reviews of the Griffin Evolve

CNET Review
The Good: Truly wireless speaker system with iPod dock; speakers utilize recharging lithium ion batteries for cable-free operation; RF wireless transmission for speakers and remote works through walls and over long distances; movable speakers enables excellent stereo separation; high-style design; line-in for external audio sources.
The Bad: Speaker batteries aren't replaceable; speakers lack convincing bass, and sound quality deteriorates at higher volumes; video output only works for fifth-gen iPods; remote offers only basic controls, so you'll have to return to the base station to access the iPod; no AM/FM radio, clock, or alarm.
The Bottom Line: The iPod-friendly Griffin Evolve is the first wireless speaker system that delivers a truly cable-free experience.
