XtremeMac Tango X2

Audiophiles, listen up! XtremeMac has just introduced its next-generation Tango, the new X2, offering a high-fidelity three-way speaker system designed for use with your iPod. It contains two full-range speakers, two tweeters and a subwoofer. The...

Good size; easy on the eyes

Poor sound quality; iPod adapters not included; functionality issues

The Tango X2 feels like a speaker system that's been rushed to market and meant to play off its forerunner's success.

XtremeMac Tango X2

There's a bevy of options out there if you're looking for an affordable docking speaker system for your iPod, but not all of them have the same design priorities in mind. Here's our detailed look at XtremeMac's Tango X2 iPod speaker system. Does the...

Sound Quality As you may have guessed, because of the speaker's small size, the Tango X2 won't take on any high-end audio setups any time soon. At its worse, the sound is tinny and the speaker lacks bass at the default setting. Cranking it up, however,...

Reviews: XtremeMac Tango X2 2.1 Speaker System + AM/FM Radio

When XtremeMac introduced the original version of Tango two years ago, we weren't exactly sure what to make of it: the $200 2.1-channel white and black audio system was undeniably sleek and modern, but its minimalist design seemed like it was designed...

A smaller, cosmetically updated version of the 2006 Tango audio system, preserving the prior model's audio hardware, Infrared remote control, and shape while dropping its price and adding both AM and FM radio tuners. Cool black, silver, and blue LED...

Radio and iPod audio performance is only a bit above acceptable for the price ; system's appeal is more in its versatility and value for the dollar than its exceptional sound. Bass and treble tweaks are required to make music sound more than fair ;...

Ultimately, Tango X2's appeal-and its general-level recommendation-come from the fact that for the $150 asking price, it looks sharp and does a number of things just well enough to be worthwhile for certain types of users, namely non-critical listeners...

I got one of these recently and returned it. The sound was bad and there is no volume control on the device itself.

XtremeMac Tango X2

I tried out the X2 after my old system gave up. I was listening to it in my kitchen and the sound was really shallow. I moved it to the bedroom hoping that it was just the accoustics of the kitchen but unfortunately it wasnt. I liked the look of the...

Avoid this brand. Non existent service!

I bought ExtremeMac Luna around 18 months ago. To be fair, it was a good product while it lasted. Six months after the warrenty expired it stopped working, with a message on its screen advising me to contact customer services. I have been trying this...

Amazing

Simply put: Amazing. Awesome sound quality for it's size and cost. Yes the minor setback is it does go to sleep when there is a period of little or no sound. The best way to fix that is to turn the volume all the way up on the computer and use the...
