Griffin Journi

Portable. Wraparound cover doubles as a stand. Remote has a built-in magnet. Adjustable pad keeps iPod face flush with speaker front. Handy battery-life meter.

Anemic sound overall. Terrible distortion at high volumes. No treble or bass controls. Can't work onboard controls one-handed. Expensive.

We like the Journi's shape, but not its sound. We'll take a hard-bound book on the road.

Excellent design. Very portable. Magnetic remote is hard to lose. Depth-adjustment wheel secures iPod in dock.

Speakers easily distort. Not much low end.

Those seeking excellent sound should steer clear of the Griffin Journi, but folks looking for a stylish, well-designed, very portable iPod dock to travel with could settle for worse.

Stylish looks, portability, adjustable iPod dock

This Griffin Journi speaker system is worth every penny. It's a nice little system, worthy of fillin any small room with good quality sounding music. It's not an ultra powerful system (i cannot really hear it above the sounds in my hot tub while using...

Small, beautiful, easy to carry, loud speakers. I have just one thing to complain: it turns on automatically and dont know why! So it comes out of battery everytime this happens and I'm not carrying it with me! Maybe it is refurbished and continues...

Received this griffin portable speaker for a Christmas gift. The sound is great. Love that it holds a charge for days. It also charges the ipod at the same time so if you took it on vacation you would only need one charger. My only complaint is the...
