Video Review: Vestalife Butterfly Dock for iPod

The Vestalife Butterfly is an $80 iPod dock with no remote control and so-so sound quality. The build quality is okay, but the whole getup looks like it should be hanging over a baby’s crib. If it cost $$30 or 40 it’d be a whole different story, but at $80 this one’s truly for butterfly enthusiasts and family members of Vestalife employees only.

Pros:

* Built-in USB port lets you synch your iPod while it’s docked
* Input/output jacks let you use non-iPod players and headphones
* Can run on four AA batteries or AC power

Cons:

* Costs about twice what it should ($80), no remote control
* Sound quality is so-so, unit doesn’t get very loud at all
* Looks and feels like a baby toy
