Harman Kardon Soundsticks II

We'll get the big question out of the way up front-one that we posed to the company before K 340 arrived for testing: "What would justify the $120 asking price here?" K 340 is billed as iPhone-compatible, but doesn't have an in-line mic or track ...

Though the in-line volume control isn't ideal in the sense that it's an analog slider, relying not on the iPhone or iPod to optimally reduce its own volume but rather attenuation of whatever audio signal the device is producing, it's one of the nicest ...

Memorex MI2290

Mi2290 is a simple, attractive little unit with a folding speaker half and a clock-laden dock half. The entire body of the black version is black, while the white one has a partially silver underbelly that folds up to parallel the silver backs of some ...

Overall, though we like the price and the way it looks, Mi2290 is hard to recommend on either sonics or features: Memorex has stripped the system down enough that there isn't much left to recommend it. We'd consider it to be a fine option if you're ...

Harman Kardon Soundsticks II

The temptation to fall in love with beautiful products is considerable; that which appeals to your eye is an easier draw on your pocket. While not a new offering, Harmon Multimedia's transparent Soundstick speaker systems have been drawing stares ever ...

A step above our top-rated Creature stationary speakers in overall performance and style, comparing favorably (on sound and looks) with certain more expensive offerings

Trumped modestly in certain audio categories by specific competing speaker systems - generally at slightly or considerably higher prices. No treble control or power switch

Hey guys i just discovered these speakers and are seriously considering buying them ($110 on Amazon). I was just wondering what kind of cords and stuff does this come with to connect ipods to. I was thinkin auxillary but i am not shure

JBL Encounter 2.1

iLounge's editors and readers have had consistently excellent experiences with speaker systems developed by Harman International's JBL and Harman Multimedia units: today, the company's Creature II system (iLounge rating: A) remains at the top of our ...

Superior sound clarity and accuracy to their class-leading Creature predecessors, similarly besting more expensive alternatives in the process. Bass and treble adjustment allows you to calibrate the sound to your tastes ; alien-inspired look is unique ...

Bass thump isn't as pronounced at low volume levels as the Creatures. No iPod dock or remote control included for the price. Intended to stay stationary ; iLounge's editors and readers have had consistently excellent experiences with speaker systems ...

Was just checking these out at JBL's site and noticed the MSRP was listed at $149.95. Not sure if it's a mistake, or a price reduction, but if the latter it certainly makes these an even more attractive option

JBL Creature II

This review is reprinted from the iLounge 2004 and 2005 Buyers' Guides, having originally appeared in November 2004, and been updated in March 2005

As of the date of this review, the best 2.1 speaker system that we've heard for the price. Attractive white plastic and chrome combination matches full-sized iPods to a T. Full bass and treble adjustment allows you to calibrate the sound to your heart ...

No iPod dock included for the (low) price. Intended to stay fairly stationary ; This review is reprinted from the iLounge 2004 and 2005 Buyers' Guides, having originally appeared in November 2004, and been updated in March 2005

Yeah I bought mine today, along with the Universal Dock. I haven't been able to test it out fully but so far I'm really impressed
