iLuv i399 (Black, Bluetooth)

By Jeff Bakalar (zdnet.com)

The iLuv i199 iPod audio system impressed us with its seemingly endless array of features crammed into a tight package at an affordable price. Enter the iLuv i399: it's larger and more expensive than the older i199, and delivers a more thumping bass ...

Lacks CD, USB port, alarms, and video-out options found on earlier, more affordable model ; major battery requirements for portable use ; shoddy speakerphone performance ; tacky rhythm-sensitive LED lights ; slight speaker buzz when iPod is connected

The majority of the front is taken up by a large, mesh speaker grille which conceals left and right 3.5-inch speaker drivers. Along the top edge, to the right of the iPod dock, is an LCD display that shows the time and current audio source; just in ...
