Yamaha TSX-W80 & TSX-70 iPhone/iPod Docks

TSX-W80 with AirWired Cradle Boasts Wireless Streaming & Retro Appeal, Usurps TSX-70’s ‘Traditional’ Docking System

Yamaha TSX-W80 & TSX-70 iPhone iPod Dock

Yamaha have unveiled two new iPhone/iPod docking stations in the form of the Yamaha TSX-W80 and TSX-70, though, with its retro appeal and AirWired cradle, it’s undoubtedly the TSX-W80 that’s the star of the show what with the TSX-70 very much being an otherwise pretty standard alarm clock dock offering ‘traditional’ physical docking of your device.

So, unsurprisingly, and in light of the above, we’ll concentrate our attention on the gloriously retro inspired Yamaha TSX-W80 which, thanks to the aforementioned AirWired cradle (as well as a top mounted docking port) which will allow you to stream music wirelessly from your iPhone/iPod, once attached to said cradle, thus allowing you to keep your device on your person whilst playing audio via the TSX-W80 (particularly handy if making or expecting calls or if you just cannot bear to be parted).

In terms of other features, the Yamaha TSX-W80 comes with alarm clock and AM/FM radio (5 presets) functionality whilst, as far as output is concerning, you’re looking at a 5.5cm woofer rated at 8W paired with two 4cm full range bass reflex speakers offering 4” output apiece.

The Yamaha TSX-70, which is by far the less exciting of the two new Yamaha docks just outed, is, on the other hand, a pretty ‘traditional’ affair that comes sans AirWired cradle and which serves as AM/FM alarm clock radio as well as a docking station offering 2.1 audio output ( specifically 2 x 4W + 1 x 8W).

Details concerning release dates and pricing are pretty scant right now though, having found our way to the official Japanese TSX-W80 product site it would appear that the TSX-W80 is set to ship (in Japan) just about no, though pricing details are not in evidence.
