I deserve to have this awesome speaker dock because I have nothing to listen to my Touch with, besides headphones. Maybe it would help to calm the beasts (my boys). I would love to be able to listen to my songs without having to carry around my ipod.
Josiah says
Because I’m a poor college student in need =(
Fabien again says
I try every way possible…
I would love to feel the sound of this new hot blaster ! Yamaha has always made great sound systems, unfortunatly I haven’t had the chance to “taste” it at home for far, but maybe the chance is comming !!!!
Please choose me !
Ben says
I just bought a new house and can’t afford to put anything into it! That means I’m without music from my beloved iPhone to keep my yet-unborn baby soothed while in her mommy’s tummy.
Chow says
I deserve this speakerset because I become weary of using the earplugs all day long. Nice for on the go, but not really suitable (and sociable) for home …
P.S. I don’t think I can win anyway, because I don’t live in the US (but I don’t see any restrictions in this post).
toby says
Because I have no great speakers at the moment and I don’t know which to buy, I deserve to get these, so that I don’t have to look for good speakers any longer
Mike says
I deserve them, because i`ve always dreamed about yamaha speakers, but can`t get them to test. This device will fit to my iphone very well, and if i like it (i think thats it!), i`ll buy bigger yamaha speakers for my mac. (for better sound quality of coz ).
John Heffernan says
Living it in Ireland makes it near impossible to get certain products as the shops just wont stock them due to the low demand…so please please santa bring me one of these beuatiful specimans of audio delight!
hehe says
Because I flippin’ need it
China Krys Darrington says
I need the Yamaha PDX-60BL speaker dock because of the distortion in the fabric of time and space caused by the Large Hadron Collider being turned back on.
This particle accelerator was created to observe the “Higgs Boson” particle (also known as the “God particle”). Some have theorized that the problems with the LHC (it broke the week after it was initially turned on) have been due to time-traveling scientists, responsible for creating the LHC, who have come back to disable their project because of the destruction and peril it creates.
My personal theory is that they are doing this to prevent a zombie apocalypse.
A few months back, they wanted to turn it on again, but were foiled by “a piece of crusty bread” which was dropped by a bird. Now, referring to the “Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy” which tells us that giant ships could be fueled by improbability drives, I propose that this bird, carrying this “bit of crusty bread” decided at this moment, not to *eat* the crusty bread, but to drop it…now, in such a spot to disable the Large Hadron Collider, had traveled back in time and space and was originally carrying a Yamaha PDX-60BL Speaker Dock and it was originally intended to be dropped at my house.
So…please, for the sake of all mankind (and bird-kind), correct this great cosmic wrong, and prevent the zombie apocalypse, by making sure the Yamaha PDX-60BL Speaker Dock arrives in the place that the universe has designed for it. The Darrington Tiny-House-of-Chaos!!!
China Krys Darrington says
I’m also pimpin’ your contest on my sight (and providing insightful commentary!)

heheheh

listern the music directly to the head is wrong way!
It is more better to feel a full range of air vibration by whole body by each cell of skin. From delicate whisper to the thunderous boom
true
raunak says
becoz its just frikkin awesome…..
Matt says
I believe I should be the victor of this prize because everyone at my school has a nice set of speakers and these are better than them all.
Edera says
so that I can give this to my husband as a christmas gift. he would love it!
PTownDigger says
I would like to procure this marvelous piece of equipment for my wife. Poor girl is forced to listen to her music on cheap $25.00 speakers, because we are trying to save money. I would love it if she could have a new sound dock to enjoy her music each day as she readies for work.
Bob says
I’d say I deserve it because it would be the only thing I’m getting for Christmas this year. Ha.
Advocate says
Sadly, I want it for mundane reasons, because I need my iPhone as an alarm-clock and music player as well as a phone, i could only afford one device and don’t know when i’ll be able to upgrade so i got something i knew would stand the test of time. This dock would simplify my use of my iPhone by letting me much more easily have it where I need it to be in my house, and of course it’s just wicked-cool.
Sharon Ychie says
Hey, I just teared my left ear-drum in a scuba diving, just a month ago.
My hearing is temporarily damaged, and my doctor told me to take a good care of my ears in the next few months.
I cant wait to tell him about my new Yamaha PDX-60BL Speaker Dock!
Memogt says
i need it because i live in Mexico, and as you know we’re getting a flu invasion, it become the people in zombies, it’s like racoon city, so i have to stay at home, taking care and it gets a little bit boring, and my ipod headphones are broken, the stores are closed because the invasion, please help me in this battle against boredom
Justin says
Because I am tired of using earbuds at home! I hardly ever listen to music on my iPhone anymore simply because I don’t have external speakers for it, so this would let me get back into listening to music with my iPhone. Plus… it would be awesome to have at the beach!
Lee says
My kicker iK500 just blew out…sad day. I am a student in Wisconsin and boy do I need something to blast my beats on, especially with all these raves and keggers I plan on throwing. Unforatunatly, finals are coming up and I have nothing to listen to other than these POS lenovo laptop speakers. Oh Yanko, whatever shall I do?
Guttemberg Ferreira says
I need this speaker just because I want to share my happiness with my friends through my iPod Playlist!
Phil says
diggin’ yanko – always an inspiration (sometimes better than coffee in the mornin’)!
Jayson says
I want this way more than I want a klondike bar.

Dear Yanko Claus,
Alicia Lopez says

yt says
I deserve the speaker since I’ve been very creative and evolving this year without good speakers for my iPhone.
hehe says

we have no music in our lab, and this awesome dock would surely maximize our creativity, thereby helping mankind.

mimi watstein says
why do I want this speaker dock so bad? Well, because YAMAHA conjures up images of the best musicians I know brilliantly partnering with instruments that are unsurpassed. I have only my computer speakers at home, and am on unemployment…my 16 year old son and I are duct taping our lives together right now, and this new YAMAHA WIRELESS DOCK would be received with the deepest love, appreciation and one million acts of kindness. thank you for considering us. mimi
Patricia says
I deserve to win the Yamaha PDX-60BL Speaker Dock because I don’t have a speaker dock I listen through my earbuds.
Paul says
I don’t realy want this thing
Kevin says
Everytime i come on this site i always see the coolest things, and I believe this Yamaha would look so cool in my room!
Daniel Devine says
I think I deserve this, because I really value having a fantastic stereo as my Isymphony died about a year ago and I am having to use my old Ipod headphones. Also Yamaha make great well built keyboards and Instruments.
Hart Armstrong says
Dear Yanko Clause,
I deserve this Yamaha PDX-60BL Speaker Dock because… When I discovered that Santa Clause was no more than myth, and the reality of my parents being these, now, unfamiliar charlatans, my ability — to listen to the Fat Boys, Fishbone and Duran Duran enjoyably — plummeted to the ground.
Yanko Clause, I believe that you’re real and I hope you’ll let me enjoy the Fat Boys again in a new invigorated fashion. I promise to be a better designer next year and not curse.
God Bless Us, Everyone
dangit says
Because unemployment doesn’t pay for pretty things!
Nokadota says
I deserve because I am … a budding audiophile and practicing music producer. Hearing my mixes and latest music/beats/musical experiences on nice equipment such as this would be fantabulously awesome.
Mathetos says
I deserve this because it’s the only way I’d ever be able afford to hear music at this pure audio level. I love your site and all the amazing ideas that come from the inspiring content.
Rufy&Butters says
I just love a speaker for my pod!
I worked hard in vacation for a nice pod. So I can listen to my favorit music on my way to school, scouts, friends, …
This vacation I saved for a docking station like this. But I lost al my money to college. So now I just hope for a win. So losing my money to school wasn’t that bad!

My upstairs neighbors are big fans of reggeaton… with the bass turned up. Please help me drown out the constant pounding.
Roy says
I know i won’t win it. I don’t deserve it. It’s just fun to enter in giveaways.
PJ23 says
Be neat to see some wireless music that works! Yamaha is probably to one to pull it off.
LUIS says
WIRELESS SPEAKER IS an AWESOME thing TO HAVE. I dont have any speaker and I have an iphone. so I desire it more than anyone!!!
Kam Stewart says
Ooow… very nice.
Anita says
I, or actually we, deserve this speaker dock because my teenage son has an iPod and he shares his music with me. The problem is the only way we can listen is by taking turns with the headphones. It would really be awesome if we had the speaker dock so we could share our love of music together.
Anita says
I, or actually we, deserve the speaker dock. My teenage son has an iPod and he shares his songs with me. The only problem is that we have to take turns with the headphones. It would truly be awesome if we could listen to the songs at the same time.
bryce says
I deserve this because I love and appreciate music, and I love being able to incorporate music in my daily life. I haven’t bought myself a new stereo, since, well never. The stereo I have just quit on me about 4 months ago, and it was a gift given to me by my grandparents in 1994. I would really love and cherish this speaker dock and take care of it!
Thank you!
TJ says
I have been looking for a nice system to dock my ipod to and have not found any in my price range. After being laid off I can’t afford anything nice, really. I also have a minimalist style and the fact that I can just put this in an inconspicuous place is awesome but also it has simple lines so I can showcase it as well. I have a Yamaha keyboard so i know anything from them will sound great! I will gladly become their fan on Facebook whether I win or not!
Alfredo says
I just want it. Period.
Patrick says
No cables to trip over. And to think just a few years ago music was so hard to come by!
Paul says
Without a Yamaha PDX-60BL my iPhone will always be naked
Joseph Pinero says
I have never had one of these speaker docks before but it would be pretty awesome if I were to win one.
Adam says
The guy in the neighboring office has the most horrible taste in music which pierces our walls mercilessly. Unfortunately my laptop speakers cannot compete with his tinny boom box. These cool Yamaha speakers would go a long way to drowning out his cacophony. It would be nice to win these.
Joyce says
I deserve the speaker because I don’t have one and it’ll be a perfect complement to the iPod I’ll be getting for Christmas!
mif991 says
I would love to own this system because it would be perfect for playing Salsa, Merengue and Cumbias on our Christmas and New Year’s dancing family parties, instead of using my TV which annoyingly shuts down every half hour with my iPod. Not having a Yamaha system could be a downer to what otherwise be a great party. If I do not win this, I would probably buy it after Christmas. Party on! and Merry Christmas!
Jesse says
I deserve the speaker because I don’t have one and it’ll be a perfect complement to the iPod I’ll be giving for Christmas!
Shrey says
I dont deserve it, as i haven’t done anything to have it. But ya if i get it Yanko and Yamaha get a lot of publicity from my side for free too. Its a give and take relationship. May be by giving one to me people buy hundreds from you. Thanks in Advance.
Henry G says
Dear Yanko,
I deserve the speakers because my ex-roommate is an a**hole and stole mine–I deserve something for putting up with his punk-a$$ for 2 years.
Sincerely,
Henry
Jonathan says
I really deserve this speaker because in a few hours I’ll be turning 17!! And I love listening to music and love looking at this site! Also it’s recession and this would be a great gift for my dad this christmas
Diego says
i just got my own apartment and i`m broke! win this speaker will help me to save some money for the decoration!
Landon B says
I want.
Tudor says
Hello,
I don’t have an iPhone yet, but I think I’m getting one for Christmas. Santa left some tips laying around.
Yamaha speakers have a good reputation, but I never had the chance to experience it. The remote control would help sleep well, literally. I have sleeping problems and I need to fall asleep listening to soft tunes but it’s bad for the music to run all night long. If I can just turn it off, w/o getting out of bed, that would be grand !
cyc says
I’d like to win this for my brother in law, who spent most of his college time studying music, and is very talented, but lost his internship at a recording studio, and has been away from music for a long time. i’m sure he’d love to be able to plug in his phone to this beast, and get back to what he used to love so much.
