Just bought the iPig today…yes it’s a bit heavy and not ideal for travelling but if you prefer to listen to your ipod than having your computer on and playing the music through that then this funny docking station does the trick!!
The sound quality from this little piggy is actually very, unexpectedly, brilliant! The bass control and treble can be easily controlled using the provided remote to get it to the desired effect. The volume can go very high, ideal if you are having a party and have your ipod on random for the occassion!
The iPig also comes with numerous attachments to suit whatever ipod you have, it can also be used with any mp3 player, computer, phone etc that has a headphone socket, a connector is provided for this scenario! Very handy indeed! The ears of the pig also act as a touch sensitive volume control which is a cool little extra!!
If this pig doesn’t give you nightmares then i recommend it as a different docking station…makes a change from the usual square and rectangular ones!! A highly amusing docking station that will make you smile everytime you look at, especially if you like pigs like I do!

Bought this as a surprise for my teenage daughter’s birthday. Comes ready to use straight out of box. The Ipod nano (G4) fits in perfectly. Great sound that can fill the room without booming or losing quality. Very popular with her friends who hadn’t see one before.

This really is the pigging best set of speakers money can buy!! The bass sound is incredible and you can turn the volume up really REALLY loud without there being any loss in quality. The clarity of sound that these wee piggies produces will leave you oinkless! To look at it you might think NOOOO surely something this gimicky looking couldn’t be any good but you’d be mistaken, amazon customer. I was shown a demonstration model in HMV at Canary Wharf and was really impressed as there were other more expensive speakers on display that didn’t compare at all. Cosmetically it is kind of funny looking but it really is brilliant. It comes with a dinky remote control and an audio lead with a jack on that you can plug into your laptop, mobile, or any other mp3 player as well as the dock on top. I bought mine in the shop at the same sort of price but at £46~ this is a bargain. Buy one and I can honestly say you’ll be pleased as pigs in mud

Bought this for my daughter’s birthday in combination with a Nano 4G, having already read glowing recommendations for it. I’m familiar with pro and high-end home and car audio equipment, so I have quite high standards already. Obviously, as a small plastic lump, it was never going to match the standards of “real” equipment, but this little piggy really surprised me with its solidity, the quality and usability of the remote and the sound quality emanating from its eyes, ears and fat little tummy – I was expecting more pork-wality from something so small and toy-like.
If it’s lacking anything, it’s high-end “airiness”, but as a package, it’s highly recommended. Despite its diminutive size, it’s not lacking grunt in the bass – it plays within its capabilities, without any of the over-emphasized boom-box effect. A separate bass level control allows for some adjustment of the “subwoofer”.
It comes with a selection of dock adaptors but does not include one specifically for the Nano 4G; nor does Apple’s adaptor fit its mounting points. This isn’t a problem – the Nano sits nicely in one of the larger dock adaptors, supported solely by the dock connector. Just make sure nothing hits the exposed iPod (pillow fights?) and you should be fine. I might use my Dremel (Dremel Rotary Tool 300 Series + 25 Accessories) to fit Apple’s adaptor into one of the pig’s supplied adaptors if I can be bothered.
In summary, don’t be concerned about the novelty aspect suggesting toy-like quality – snout to worry about.

I bought this as I had read the reviews online and thought it sounded quite good. When i got it home and switched it on with my i pod in the dock – oh my god!!! it is fantastic. The sound is brilliant!!! There are not enough words to describe how good this device is – buy, buy, buy – YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
