Side by Side Comparison of: iLuv vs Konsait

Product works well as advertised. One issue is that you may have to remove your iPhone protective case/cover to secure a good connection to the iLuv dock. Not advisable is an extension connector, made available through aftermarket sources, that enables docking the iPhone with its case on. The extension piece is tall, rising your phone to a unsafe height which will result in a poor connection or breakage. Its no big deal to just slip off the phone case to recharge and play music.

I bought this to use at work in a fairly noisy environment. It sounds really good and has plenty of volume. For the money I am very pleased. The iLuv app is nice too. One thing I would suggest to anybody buying one is to order the CableJive LDOCK-STB Female Lightning to male Lightning dockStubz for Lightning Devices if they have a case on their phone because without it the lightning plug on the dock will not seat properly into the phone. My case isn't bulky at all, but I could not make the connection without it.

We bought this for our 15 year old for Christmas. She uses it with her iPhone 5s and she thinks the sound quality is good. (She's a musician, so quality was important.) The only bummer is that her particular phone case is pretty thick so she can't put the phone in the jack unless she removes the case. I looked into buying a cord that she could use to hook the phone into a port in the back of this item, but haven't wanted to spend the $35 for one.

This is the BEST purchase I have made in a long time. I am a total Bose snob, but really wanted something small for my desk, and didn't want to spend Boses prices this time around. You really can't go wrong with this. The sound is absolutely great. I read all the reviews before I made this purchase and I'm so glad I did. The people that are complaining that they have to take the case off their phone before they can use this, I'm just shocked at. Is that a really big deal? Unreal.

Easy to hook up and easy to play. The sound that comes out is fantastic and comparable to many bookshelf units costing more. I recommend this for any iPhone 5S user who wants to listen to great music through a nice speaker system. Good value for the money spent. I have been asked if this speaker system will serve for use with the new i phone 6 or 6 plus. The answer is that it will fit the new i phone 6 and 6 plus, because they have the same connector size. The only draw back is that if you have a case around your phone you have to remove it to place it on the sound dock. The connector is not long enough to plug in all the way if your phone case obstructs the connection pin. I hope this helps those people that have asked the question.

I bought this iPhone5 speaker dock as a Christmas gift for my daughter who is a college student. When she opened the gift, she was very happy with the look and feel of the device. She plugged it in right away and started to play music on her iPhone. We were all pleasantly surprised by the beautiful sound of the it - for such a small device, the speakers sound very nice. It is also very easy to use - you won't need a manual to operate it. This little device got a lot of use through the holiday week when our entire family was home. My daughter will take it with her to her college dorm happily when school starts.

While the product itself looks simple enough, it doesn't come across as cheap. I was skeptical but overall happy with the functionality and design. Again, keep in mind that you're paying a lot less than most traditional charging stations so the product itself doesn't overwhelm you aesthetically. What it does well, is provide a very solid functional solution to over cluttered night stands... especially for those of you like myself, who own a work phone, work iPad, personal phone and Apple Watch. For the price, I highly recommend this product. Cheers!

This is a really helpful device. I have an iPad and an iPhone and I used to keep them in my bad charging overnight. I wanted to find something that I could use to charge mu devices on my desk without having a bunch of wires all over and this works because I can just hide the wires inside of the box.

Great little stand for multiple devices.

I bought a separate 6-port USB charging hub, on Amazon, for $14.99 - one that had a Qualcomm Certified Quick Charge slot for my S6. That way, I only have 1 cord coming out of this. It fits inside this PERFECTLY.

I have a Huawei Watch....not an Apple Watch. The Huawei watch charger will NOT fit in the cutout for the Apple Watch....so I cut out a felt sticker to fill the hole (an anti-scratch pad for the bottom of a piece of furniture you'd put on a wood floor). I then used plastic velcro-type adhesive (like the stuff you mount your EZ-Pass to your windshield with) to mount the Huawei Watch Charger over the Apple Watch hole....and to keep it from coming up with the watch (magnetic connection).

Per my wife, "You can't even tell."

Have charging at the same time.....S6 (Quick Charge), iPhone6, Huawei Watch, Nexus 7 2013 in a slim case, and a Fitbit. Still have one spare USB slot.

Couldn't be a better product for my Apple Watch, iPhone and mini-iPad. All three fit well and with a 4 port USB charging station that I put inside, only one cord comes to the stand. My suggest is to also by some small lightning cables so your cables are better managed also.

This product is really cool. It looks exactly how it looks in the picture, the black "leather" is really good quality , it does not feel cheap at all. If i were to see this product in a store it looks like its worth $50 at least. For what it cost through amazon it is a straight steal without a doubt. I currently charge the following items all at the same time. iPhone 6 PLUS, Note 5, iPad Air 2 and Apple Watch 42MM. I took the time to write this review because I am really happy with the product and I trust that It will make many other people happy as it did to me. Enjoy your purchase.

as described

The speaker has fantastic sound. My only complaint is how the speaker works (or doesn't work) with an iPhone. You have to install an app in order to play music. Fine. The ultimate problem is that if you are using any kind of iPhone case, you must remove your iPhone from the case. Not very practical for everyday use since cases are not designed to come on and off that frequently. With my Windows Phone and Android, however, this device works great! Plugs right in to the 3.5 mm jack, plays without needing any special software, and sounds fantastic!

Fast transaction it takes only 6 days and it arrives in Saudi Arabia in good condition. Nice sounds and elegant design. I will recommend this to my friends. Cheers :)In addition to this, it will be better if the developer of this add an Time & alarm function. But in general I am satified for what I paid for. Great job.

This dock is great. I initially bought a Sony, but for whatever reason, it's lost the quality my old Sony had. I heard very good things about this model so decided to try it. The sound is clear and crisp. There is plenty of bass and volume as well. The reason I did not give it 5 stars is because it doesn't come with a remote (loved that about the speakers for my old phone), and my phone cannot fit on it while the case is on. I knew the latter was going to be the case.

For the price this unit is keeper as it works fine with a bluetooth connection in very short distances. The bluetooth connectivity may also be an issue of my phone (Samsung Galaxy Exhilarate with Bluetooh 4.0). When at a distance of 10 feet I experienced audio breakup. When the phone was "docked" (must dock carefully as connector can be difficult to line up), the audio was flawless. I also tested the speaker phone selection and it provided a loud clear output and returned to audio play when disconnected. Once a phone is paired initially the pairing usually happens automatically after turning on the units power switch. There are no controls for things like treble and bass, just use the equalizer on your phone or audio device.

I had this and Bose sounddock III series on my wish list for quite sometime now. After going through reviews in various sites, went ahead and placed the order for iLuv Aud 5.Pros:Sound really nice, has decent bass to it (enough to fill a room)Its looks very beautifulPriceCons:Dust gets accumulated faster (because of the color - all black)

This product is good for the most part in the organization process. Many have stated that they wish the areas you insert your products were a touch bigger and I tend to agree. I have a leather case on my iPad and it really does not fit in the slot. The phone area is adequate and the watch portion is fine. The other products get in the way, so I have to lay my watch in a different way than shown, but it still charges without issue. The leather-like material is very nice...I will call it vegan leather! Decent product for the money (for the most part).

Looks great and works well but you have to 1) get a charging station inside the box (not recommended because of fire hazard) 2) have a bunch of lines running into it (messy) or 3) put the usb charger next to the opening on the side of the box. That's what I did and it looks good.

Bought 2, one for myself & 1 for my husband for our nightstands. Mine holds my watch, iPhone 5s & iPad mini. His holds his watch, iPhone 5s & iPad 3. I found that with two regular 3-foot lightening cables, and the factory issued watch power cord, the wires didn't fit inside the stand with the top sitting flush. For the best possible configuration & to minimize cord clutter, I bought two 4-inch usb lightening cords, a smaller watch power cord & a usb hub for each stand. Now everything sits flush inside and is easily accessible. Love that it has a leather look to it & is aesthetically pleasing as well as being super functional.

I LOVE that I can put all my devices on one stand. It is hard to find something that will work for all the devices at once. The stand even accomodates my ipad case which has been very hard to find. I have exactly what this stand holds - an Apple watch, 2 phones (1 for work and one for personal use) and an ipad, so it is pretty perfect. It is pretty good quality and sturdy as well. The only reason for not a full 5 stars is that I need it to be a little bit deeper to accommodate the cords better. I have to sort of bend one of them in order for it stand right. If it would be a little deeper, it would be absolutely perfect! all in all, you will be hard pressed to find something as compact that hols what this product does. I am pretty happy with it.

I really like the look and quality of this product. It also very functional and holds my iPhone, iPad, and Apple watch neatly on my nightstand while charging them.

The picture is slightly decieving as it shows two iPhones held vertically and the watch wrapped around the holder. I have found that it is not practical to try to put the devices in as diplayed in the photo, becuse if the phones are vertical the charging plugs don't quite fit well since they are on the bottom of the devices and you would also have to bend the cables which you should not do, and it's pain to try to wrap the watch around the holder and still get it to sit properly while it charges. Instead, I place my phone horizontaly as well, and I lay the watch across the charger the same direction as the phone and tablet. With this configuration, it can only really 3 devices not 4.

Both my iPad and iPhone have a case on them and still fit in the holder. All in all, I'm very happy with it and it works well.

Not a bad speaker, however the connection broke a few months in and I ended up tossing it after that. The bluetooth worked fine still but it didn't charge, which was half the reason I got it.

I would say that this item is a little over-priced for what you get, but it serves the purpose I needed - to allow my phone to charge in the vertical position while displaying the night-clock screen. Speaker quality is mediocre, and the charging dock feels pretty flimsy; in fact, I can't be sure the charging dock will last long at all, in which case I will revisit this review to show it as a VERY POOR product. Otherwise, the arms that raise and lower to keep the phone in place are probably the best feature of the product.

This system has great sound, but the deal killer is that it requires the removal of my phone's protective case. WHAT A HASSLE! I simply don't think it's worth it. I tried everything. Couldn't make it work.

Hard to line up phone with charger and makes an anoyingly loud beep when bluetooth is paired. Sound quality is low. It is nice to have for occasional usage in kitchen or garage but i woulnt like to use it often.

The sound is fine, it's nice and lightweight, and it works from the next room, which is all I'll need for my massage out call practice. But I made the mistake of assuming "most smartphones" would include my iPhone 4s, which does not have a "micro" USB port at all.Not knowing how small "micro" can be, I was surprised and disappointed to find that the USB port on my phone is four times as large as the charger on this dock, so it will never function as a charger for my phone at all. Since it does everything else I want it to do, I'll keep it. Maybe I can find an adapter for it at some point.

More solidly built than thought and phone docks securely. Easy to pair bluebooth and is everything as advertised. Sound could be crisper and is heavy with bass saturation, but an equalizer app helps boost sound quality. Good for desk or bedside.

Better than nothing. Pros: I received the product in a timely manner. Appearance matches advertised picture. Cons: Even though I measured my iPad Air 2 with Lifeproof case before ordering it doesn't fit length wise when placed horizontally in stand. When placed vertically in stand it tends to fall over when stand is touched. Charging cords are cramped inside making it difficult to place watch band around the watch charger. Increasing the height or length of stand slightly would alleviate this problem.

Simply put, this is a box with holes and grooves! It does what it says it will do, ie. hold the devices while they charge. However, I expected more! The box has elastic straps to hold the cords but there is no stop or lock to keep the weight of the outlet they are plugged in to from pulling on the cord! One reviewer said that the covering looked like leather. It doesn't!

Product is good, sturdy and well made.

but my problem with it is that you can't use it if you've got covers on your devices unless they're the super duper thin types. Also, there's only one opening on the side for all your chargers to feed through and since most chargers don't have super long cords, your power step sits on top of the night stand and that defeats the purpose of having this caddy to "tidy up" my tabletop. I wanted to return it but the sellers worked with me on it so I ended up keeping it at a discounted rate. It currently holsters my phone once in a while but pretty much sits empty 90% of the time.
Stars are for good service, other than that it's pretty useless since all my devices got covers and you can't use your devices while it's charging, something I tend to do often.

It's not as easy to use as advertised. The iWatch charging station is hard to put the watch on. The charging cords get tangled in the base because they are just coiled up and set in the bottom. It's a great idea for us multi-apple product owners but if Apple didn't put it out it won't work for the product.

I have had for about a month
Pros:
Well made with good quality materials
Great color
Fits with cases on my phone and iPads

Cons:
To shallow, the cords bend right where the thicker and thinner part meet
If you coil your cords inside its kind of hard to move them out if you want to charge and use devices
Can be hard to get the Apple Watch on the charger depending on how the cords are

It doesn't work with my iPhone. Why didn't it include an adapter if it needs one to function as promised? Now I have to get an adapter just to see if it will work!

I was moderately satisfied with the sound produced. I know better than expect great sound from a device that is so compact, but still hoped for better. My serious disappointment came when the item stopped working less than one year after I bought it. And with minimal use. I used it mostly to listen to a podcast while cleaning house, doing dishes, etc. I am VERY disappointed that my emails to the company have gone unanswered. My recommendation is to purchase elsewhere, for better sound and better customer service.

This product does not work on my iPhone 6s Plus because I have a phone case. They made the connection point so short that it will only work on a naked iPhone.

This item does not work as expected. The sound was not clear, the volume was actually no louder than my actual phone gets on its own, and my phone is Bluetooth compatible but would not connect to the Bluetooth signal, so I had to use the aux cord, which defeated the purpose of me buying this particular item. Also, I have a heavy duty rubber case on my phone, and it would not fit into the holding dock with the case on. Also does not fit tablets. Returning this product.

While the speakers look larger than the phone, even at maximum volume the sound is quieter than built-in Nexus 7 speakers alone. While it looks like you can charge your phone in landscape view (as you would for watching Netflix), you can only do so if the charging port is located on the long side of your device. When the Bluetooth connection is made, annoyingly loud beeps are set off. The only positive feature I found are the arms do help stabilize your device.

It doesn't have that much volume. I always have the volume turned up to maximum, even when I'm right next to the unit.The Bluetooth works ok. I dunno what the maximum distance is with my phone yet.***** The worst thing. IT DOESN'T CHARGE THE PHONE. I've tried every possible combination just to see - of course with the unit plugged into the wall outlet: Phone off, MobiAir off / Phone on, MobiAir on / Phone off, MobiAir on / Phone on, MobiAir off. And left it overnight. In the morning the battery level is not increased whatsoever. This part isn't just disappointing, it's exasperating and infuriating.The owner's manual/instructions are minimal at best.Not worth the hassle of shipping back, but I wouldn't get one again.It does accommodate a Galaxy Mega 6.3, but it is very awkward to get the charging pin lined up and into the base of the phone, and the Galaxy makes the unit a bit top-heavy and likely to tip over.Yes, you can play games while it's docked, but extremely awkward. And games that appear only horizontally on the phone (like MSM) are not really possible at all with this particular phone.

The interior supports for the insert that holds everything are glued inside the box walls and they have already come unglued causing the top to fall sideways.

Nice concept but the apple watch charging section needs to be designed differently. The bands of the watch dont fit right, you have to charge it at an angle. Great for phones and tablets, not the apple watch, which is what I really wanted it for.

Well it does what it should but basically it's a box with a hokey insert. Not a lot of room for all the cords inside the box. The Apple watch charging portion of the box is too shallow and doesn't let the watch band go deep enough to let the watch easily sit on its charger.

Great idea but lousy execution. Had to return this because the watch doesn't charge on this setup. It is also very difficult to get the watch bands around the small area between the iPad and iPhone charging spots. Very tough to keep everything charged.

Much to expensive for the quality of the product. Also, the pre-cut slots for your devices don't account for any type of protective case. Who doesn't use some type of case these days. It does put all your devices in one place, but I've seen many better options. I'm returning this one.

My phone goes louder than this speaker. Wish I had not purchased this. What a waste of money

I am only giving this product 1 star because it did work well for the first 4 months. Now, it will charge my phone when plugged into the cradle, but it will not play music. (iPhone 5) also when I try to use the auxillary plug, the vocals on my music are muted.I bought this product for my desk at work so that I could charge my phone while listening to music, and it is of no use to me now. :(I have tried getting ahold of seller but have been unable to. I am very dissatisfied.

It doesn't work first of all, my iphone 6 won't play and after the first month. When it did play the sound was poor quality and not at all what I have found with previous docking stations which I loved. Very disappointed. iLuv Aud 3 Apple Lightning Speaker Dock for iPhone 6S Plus, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6S, iPhone 6, iPhone 5S, iPhone 5C, iPhone 5 - Black [Apple MFi Certified]

I wish i would have never spent the $ on this. It wouldnt play my music for more than 5 minutes & quits and after it quits playing & u try to play it again it wnt work at all. Dnt waste your $!!!!!!!!!!! The only reason i gave it 1 star is because i had to otherwise i would give it no stars.

I should have trusted the bad reviews but I thought the price was nice. I got one song to play then it just stopped working. It will turn on but the speakers don't work. I was really wanting to take this on vacation but sadly this will be returned. I'll go buy something better at a big box store, so if it needs returned I don't have to hassle with shipping, and I'd get a replacement immediately. I don't ever have problems, from now on I'll trust the reviews.

After only 3 months of use, this device no longer works properly. It powers off by itself while trying to use it. If trying toturn the volume up or down... it powers off. Not at all impressed with this product. Would not recommend.

cardboard box with cut open holes in it not a nice vanity

My review was on the Konsalt 4 in 1. The Remote for the Bose is great 5 stars

This is shoebox with crappy cutouts and no wires. Not at all what I expected.

The understorage area is not very large, so it makes curling your wires (especially for your apple watch) very difficult. With certain Apple Watch bands it is almost impossible to charge on this. The "stand up" feature for the iPhones literally uses your cord to leverage itself to the stand, meaning there is constant pressure on your cords, loosening the connection. I find this takes up much more room on my nightstand and with no actual convenience.

not ideal when all your cables are in coz you'll have a hard time placing your apple watch. and not ideal for people who are in a rush of docking gadgets, needs time to place everything properly especiall the watch coz of the cables inside.
