Sierra Sound iN Studio 5.0 Smart Speakers Review

To call the Sierra Sound iN Studio 5.0 speaker system an iPod speaker system would be to miss the point entirely. This is a very well-built, great looking pair of bookshelf speakers that happen to be powered, and also have a built-in iPod dock on top....

crispy highs ; powerful and loud ; deep bass response ; they come in Ferrari red

off-axis, highs diminish ; can be a bit boomy in some setups ; remote is very cluttered ; auto-on feature slow to react to signal

If you love you some bass, these are speakers for you. They can fill a room with toasty warm tones, and will play very loud. The highs are very crispy, especially if you are at ear level with the tweeters. The iN Studio 5.0 speakers from Sierra Sound...

Sierra Sound iN Studio 5.0 iPod Speakers

The Sierra Sound iN Studio 5.0 speakers are one of many iPod speakers available on the market today. I recently spent some time with them and I have to say I like them a lot, but there are some oddities. Read on to see what they are…

Review: Sierra Sound iN Studio 5.0 Smart Speakers

With a pile of bass and crisp highs, don't mistake the iN Studio 5.0 speakers as mere desktop candy.

We now take a moment to return to a gripe you have heard from me before, and that is my soapbox about crappy, plastic, tiny remote controls that are so prevalent today, especially with iPod speaker systems. I am convinced that there is some little...

iN STUDIO 5.0 – iPod Speaker

The very first thing you will notice upon opening the box containing the Sierra Sound iN Studio Dynamic Sound Smart Speakers is the fit and finish of the cabinets. My set came to me in white. They are also available in black, and red. I like the...

Review: Sierra Sound iN Studio 5.0 Smart Speakers

Ever since iPod speakers flooded the market, we've rarely found ourselves enthusiastic about new releases: most of the speakers out there are generic-looking, nothing special-sounding, and a little too expensive for their own good. So when we say that...

A high-fidelity component stereo system with an integrated iPod dock, as well as the ability to connect and power an AirPort Express. Clean, functional design available in high-gloss white, black, or red colors. Extremely easy set up and great...

Lack of bass and treble controls restricts sound signature to a company-set default, which while impressively balanced and detailed doesn't fully replicate the low-end performance of competing alternatives. Certain functional oddities, such as...

Given its price and some of its small design and feature kinks, our overall impression of iN Studio 5.0 is still a very positive one, thanks to its strong audio performance. Though we would have preferred to see its remote include bass and treble...
