Performance
I was taken aback by the sheer power that the S715i gives out. It really is hard to believe that such a tiny little thing can be so loud and clear. What really sets this dock apart from other speakers in this price range is the amount of boom that emanates from the woofers at the rear. It really is incredible! But the S715i does start distorting a little when you pump it up all the way. But let me say once more, that all the way up is really loud.

One more awesome thing about this dock is that it is rechargeable. So now, you can carry it around with you anywhere you want. The battery is said to last around eight hours, and although I haven’t tested it, I will put up the results as soon as I do. Of course, when you unplug it from the power source, the volume drops pretty drastically, but this is to conserve power.
 
Verdict
The S715i is a great dock to buy for keeping around the house, as well as for when you are traveling. At market price of approximately Rs 8,000, some might say it’s a little steep, but I say it's a complete value for money product, considering the supreme sound that comes from it. Sure it has very few features, but at the end of the day, it is what it is – a dock that plays music from your iPod or iPhone. And it seems to do that really well, so if you asked me whether I would buy it, I’d definitely say yes!

I give this product 4 1/2 stars. Half a star has been cut for the remote, which could surely have been better equipped. But let me reiterate by saying that the S715i is indeed a really good dock and will provide you superb value for money if you like your audio crisp, clear and loud.

How We Test

The Tech2 Labs receives many products every single week and each of them is tested with the utmost care and highest level of objectivity. There’s a constant effort to reduce and totally eliminate subjectivity. Each product is tested according to set test processes so the same test scenario is used.

Verdict
The ratings awarded to a product are derived from a number of tests and calculations, keeping certain important factors in mind. These factors consist of features, performance, quality and value for money. In case of software and some other categories, build quality might be replaced with ease of use or ease of installation. Products are compared with other products in a similar price range or product category.

Features
The features component of the score is rated based on the kind of features present on a particular product. Features are a big part of what people look for when they’re buying a new product such as a phone or a camera.

Performance
The performance score is derived from the benchmarks and tests run on the product. In case of the subjective scores, an average of the scores given by the group of reviewers is considered.

Build Quality
The build quality of a product is important so that it doesn’t fall apart after some use. The build quality scores from the way the product is designed and the kind of materials used in the product.

Value
Value for money comes from the fact that a cheap product is able to provide most of the performance of a higher priced product. Once again, value for money is judged by comparing pricing and performance of products in a particular price range or category. 

There are many other aspects of the product that are looked at such as the bundled software and accessories. All of these scores are aggregated together to form the final score.
