Although it looks portable with its integrated carry handle, it does need to be plugged into the mains to work. That's slight disappointment, as its aggressive, powerful sound is ideal for big outdoor gatherings. Still, you can always trail an extension c...

As has been the case with most of the higher-end audio systems released for the iPod and iPhone, Beatbox diverges from the typical glossy plastic styling found in cheaper all-in-ones, using a clean design that initially appears stark but has subtle hi...

When Monster and beats by dr. dre first announced the Beatbox, we initially said it will probably sound like Dr. Dre is screaming in your face. Well from the time we have spent with the Beatbox, that is in fact what it sounds like. The Beatbox iPo...
Excellent bass reproduction for any music genre. Designed to fit in any room with its corner design. Fills a room with music. Really shines when you play with your iPhone/iPod set to optimum equalizer settings. The active wireless module probably means future peripherals are coming...
Pricey. Front grille easily bends when you push it. No mini to mini stereo cable included. No app. Remote control is less than impressive. Improper placement of the device in a room can hinder the sound experience coming from the Beatbox.
Beatbox by beats by dr. dre and Monster is just another example of how seriously these companies are about improving the experience of listening to music. They have thought about all the important details while creating their first iPod dock – it soun...

In 2008, Dr. Dre and Monster teamed up to launch a pair of headphones, Beats by Dr. Dre ($349.95, 4 stars). Two years and several products later, the partnership has launched its first iPod dock, the Beatbox by Dr. Dre from Monster. At $449.95 (list)...
The most powerful iPod dock we've tested. Does not distort, even at high volume levels. Intense bass response. Wedge-shaped design fits in room corners. A port exists for wireless streaming—but it's not yet activated.
Remote lacks full iPod navigation. Very expensive. No playback controls on dock itself. No video out for iPod. Speaker grille should be more stable.
Beatbox by Dr. Dre is Monster's first foray into the realm of iPod speaker docks, and while there are some glaring omissions for such an expensive dock, the fabulous audio quality makes up for it. Buy it now...
