Fabric on front with a glossy black or white back and matching glossy iPod dock, the system includes a huge AV system-style Infrared remote control, plus an integrated FM radio tuner, audio cables, a required wall power adapter, twelve different Dock ...

There are other little oddities, too. iF500's iPod dock has entirely capacitive buttons on its top surface, which sometimes are accidentally triggered when you rest part of your hand against the dock to adjust the iPod inside. It also includes an ...

The smaller, less expensive S125i looks a little alien from the front and kidney bean-like from the top, packing a couple of roughly 1.25" speakers into a semi-glossy black plastic casing with high-contrast white oval metal speaker grilles. S125i's ...

Though it's not surprising that Logitech's portable lineup gets better as you add $30 increments-the $130 Pure-Fi Anywhere 2 is superior to the $100 S315i, which is superior to the $70 S125i-the improvements are not linear. From our perspective, you ...

What i-DS3 Plus offers users is a mirror of the iPod and iPhone sales pitch: an extremely clean industrial design that hides smart internal components. The base of the system is a unified dock, amplifier, and speaker system that is roughly 15.5 inches ...

Overall, expensive iPod and iPhone audio systems have more to prove than the numerous more affordable ones on the market, and i-DS3 Plus's $499 price tag will certainly scare some potential buyers away from even giving it a listen. Yet its combined ...

Back in January, Philips unveiled two different alternatives to address the needs of iPhone, iPod touch, and fourth-generation iPod nano users, both of which are becoming available in stores this month. One is the circular SBD7000 ($120), and the ...

Overall, between its motorized dock, remote control, superior sonic performance, and reasonable price, the SBD8100 isn't just a novel design-it's also a very good speaker for the dollar, missing a higher rating solely because of its loose power ...

On Stage 400P is part of a 2008-vintage family of JBL speaker designs that all bore the same shape-think of the base of a thinner, gently curved pyramid with the top point and middle cut off-but differed in components. All were made from black plastic ...

In summary, On Stage 400P is a strong mid-priced iPod and iPhone speaker system with certain strengths-namely, audio balance, detail, and an impressive combination of high highs and controlled lows-and certain weaknesses, namely its reluctance to ...

First, a few notes on where things stand with iHome's computer speakers. iH70, originally sold for $150, now has an MSRP of $100. iH69, originally sold for $100, is gone. And iP71 takes the better aesthetic design elements from both of these speakers, ...

For the price, iP71 is a good iPod, iPhone, and computer speaker system, though its appeal will definitely vary from person to person. It will most satisfy budget-conscious users who want a nice-looking, clutter-free way to add both speakers and an ...

Understand going in that iH15 is designed for a very specific purpose: though it works with all of the Dock Connector-equipped iPods and is affordable enough to pair with any of them, it's unquestionably best suited to the iPod nano and its owners. ...

iHome needn't do any of these things; thanks to its great design, pricing, and overall execution, iH15 just happens to inspire visions of all the other cool speakers that could be made with similarly clean designs and color-shifting technology. It is ...

Measuring roughly 8.6" wide by 3.9" tall by 1.25" deep when closed, and 10.75" wide when fully open, JiSS-250i is physically the most similar to i-Station Traveller, which measures 6.75" wide by 3.5" tall by 1.25" deep when closed, and 10.6" wide when ...

Overall, the JiSS-250i is a good, though less than groundbreaking speaker option for users who are looking for something portable, relatively inexpensive, and versatile enough to use with widescreen or vertically mounted iPods and iPhones. For a $20 ...

In addition to the interference shielding challenges that iPhones created for speaker makers, Apple's decision to include widescreen video playback and accelerometers in their phones and some iPods-the fourth-generation nano and both versions of the ...

Overall, i-Station25 is certainly a unique little speaker system due to its rotating functionality and budget-conscious pricing, but its less than completely impressive audio quality and surprisingly incomplete iPhone EDGE shielding reflect design ...
