The only option out there so far...

It's hard to get a dock for Android so thank you to Phillips for getting us one.
The features, functionality, integration are great. I have no complaints on those, in fact it's cool.
The only PROBLEM is the sound. At mid to high volumes, it sounds awesome. But at low volumes (I'm in an office building so I can't have my music pumping across the whole floor), the bass is very heavy as well as low mids. If an announcer comes on the radio you can't hardly make out what he's saying. The bass is so heavy you have a low quality sound as it drowns everything else out. It looks like there is an equalizer function, but only for sound through the app fidelo... won't help for playing FM via the hardware tuner or Pandora etc via your phone. Sound quality is a real issue. Seems like they tried doing some settings along the "loudness" feature you'd see on old stereos but missed the mark. EASY FIX! Would love to see a software update to help us fix this. The Phillips app needs to have equalizer function to control the hardware on this dock no matter where the input is coming from. Maybe a different model has a better balanced sound.
Pros: an android dock! hard to find, stereo tuner, line in, bluetooth link even if you aren't docked: option:), listen to fm radio without docking phone, output your pc to the line in
Cons: heavy handed bass will give you a headache

I had it in my house for a week, then took it to my office. The sound is incredible at any volume. The bass is really good, noticeable at lower volumes and a little distracting if listening to a commercial or announcer through the AM/FM radio (at lower volumes). The design is pretty cool, get lots of compliments. Love being able to charge my ANDROID phone and stream Pandora via Bluetooth. Overall, I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a high quality product designed with ANDROID in mind.
Pros: awesome sound, great bass, cool design, bluetooth, made for android (micro-usb)
Cons: no equalizer
I would recommend this to a friend!

The fidelo app that is required to use your phone to play music is a hassle but i can deal with it. The sound is very nice condidering its size and price. Love the blue tooth capability.
Pros: wireless
Cons: fidelo app

There are not too many speaker docks for Android phones. But I can say without a doubt the Philips docking speaker with Bluetooth AS140 for Android is the best. The setup was very easy and straight-forward. The sound quality is excellent. I just hope Philips continues to support this product with software and firmware updates.
Pros: ease of setup, greatsound quality
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have had this for a few months and just love it! I love how it charges and plays music at the same time. The small, sleek design and the price was a top selling point for me, then of course the sound after I got it set up. I have already recommended it to a friend and they purchased it too.
Pros: great sound
Cons: sometimes have to play with the antenna location
I would recommend this to a friend!

What an improvement over the first Fidelio docks WOW!

THIS DOCK IS JUST WHAT I WANTED. I was leery of buying another Fidelio after my first experience with one a few years ago. The software was a nightmare. Huge software improvement.
I spent three weeks looking for an Android docking system that would do what the Fidelio does. I have tried four other speaker systems, all of which were returned. I didn't want much. All I wanted was a speaker dock to charge my phone and when my radio app alarm came on that it would play through the speakers.
Most other brands I tried, the bluetooth would not stay connected when the phone went to sleep and/or no docking system. Using the Philips Dock Studio and the connect to speaker function in the app makes the bluetooth stay on. There is no speaker hiss while you are sleeping, didn't hear any notification sounds while I was sleeping and I left the notification on to see if there would be. I haven't really explored the app because it's doing all that I need it to do right now. I don't understand why there needs to be software to make the dock features work. It would be nice if when you dock the Android phone it would just detect it and connect to the bluetooth etc. I have had docks that have done that. Docking the phone is a bit difficult, but most Android docking systems seem to be a bit fussy that way.
Anyway...Philips please continue to make docks for Android that work. I would also like to be able to play my whole music library on shuffle as my alarm instead of just one song.
So nice job Philips for this dock I love it. It's a keeper
Pros: nice design, decent price, not bad sound, bluetooth stays on while phone docked, has a clock, three alarm choices, not android brand specific any android will work, great bluetooth range, so far best dock for the price for android
Cons: no usb to charge another device, need app to access the bluetooth standby feature, plays only one song from music list for alarm, app might be a bit fussy for a beginner, docking a bit difficult
I would recommend this to a friend!
