Rain Design iWoofer review

Winner for best iPod speaker system that reminds us of an alien: Rain Design's iWoofer . This cute battery- and AC-powered speaker unit includes an FM radio and a built-in subwoofer, and it sounds decent for personal and desktop use. But the $129...

Creative sci-fi design with cool LED lights; small footprint; can run on batteries; includes an FM tuner; includes subwoofer (with decent bass at higher volumes); recharges iPod; USB pass-through for iTunes transfers.

No remote control included; cannot adjust viewing angle of iPod; difficult to adjust volume; no visual indicators for volume, bass, and FM; only one FM preset.

If you're into its retro sci-fi looks, the FM-enabled Rain Design iWoofer speaker system makes a useful desktop companion for your iPod.

iWoofer clearly isn't a speaker designed to appeal to everyone, and though it's not ideal even for its target audience, it's a good enough option to merit our base-level general recommendation. Going forward, we think that lower pricing, superior FM...
