Portable Speakers


I was hesitatant to buy these speakers because they only had one review. Boy, am I glad i got them. They are amazing. I have a Bose wave, and both my husband and I think that the quality is just as good. If you are looking for a great pair of speakers at a great price, this is the one you want! iLuv iMM747 Audio Cube Hi-Fidelity Speaker Dock for iPad, iPad 2, iPhone and iPod (Black)

This is the first Apple dock I have bought. It works great with our family's iPods, iTouch, iPad and even our iPhone4's. Recharges the devices as well as plays music. Controls are simple, with only 5 buttons + on/off on the front. Just what you need and no more. It's size is the same - just big enough for an iPad + 2 small speakers, and no more. (I love electronics with space-efficient design). Sound is excellent for such small speakers. I'm definitely ordering at least one more after Christmas.

This is by far the best product I have used for the iPhone. It's has the best sounding speakers for such an off-brand. The fidelity is almost like the Bose Wave radio. This is a simple device that has power, volume and charging. It has a sync USB pass through also if you want to use it with a computer, and it has an Aux in if you want to add another audio device like a stero or CD player to it. It has a free iphone app that is bug free (unlike the iHome) I love the iphone app its just awesome. I can't say enough about this. I plugged in an iphone 4, 3g, 3gs, iPad, and 1st Gen touch and all worked great and the app did too. Buy this for a great gift. You will not regret it. ILUV IT!!!

So here I am, opening about the 5th set of speakers designed for iPod and Iphones. And who would have guessed? Up pops the message about compatibility with the iPhone, this time with a slight twist. The message said something about not being optimized for use with the iphone. So, it turns out not to be the ideal solution I was waiting for. But I'm tired of returning these things, so on the shelf it will stay. A glorified charger is essentially what it is.



But it has nice sound. It doesn't come with a handful of adapters like most. It stays in place by a unique sliding backplate, thjat seems to keep the iP### solid and secure.



Haven't tried the feature of plugging it directly into a PC and have it sync with iTunes from its spot on the dock.



So, although it's lacking some nice features, like an alarm clock, you can use a free app to display the time and set an alarm.



It does sound rather nice at reasonable volumes, and the controls are visible, which I couldn't say about the Altec Lansing that got sent back. Altec Lansing inMotion Max IMT702 Speaker System for iPod and iPhone (Black).



So I give it an average rating with an extra star for sound quality, and maybe a star for being closer to what

i wanted than so many other, and maybe half a star for the lack of PITA adapters. It fits with a case or cover on the phone.



The end result: sounds good with decent bass; attractive design, easy to fit multiple iPods with or without case, and usable controls, with no remote to lose.



I am pleased but certainly not overwhelmed with joy over this purchase. Tunes from Chris Botti and Michael Buble are smooth and easy to listen to. Worth $100, no, but acceptable for $80 in a GB deal. Overall I approve of this purchase.

Although advertised as an iPad compatible audio output device, it does not work with the iPad. I did not test it with the iPod or the iPhone. When the iPad is plugged in there is no sound output from the speakers, and a message appears on the iPad screen that "This accessory is not compatible with the iPad."



I found that a pair of inexpensive computer speakers (especially ones with an input jack) work very well and give me very adequate sound. I have to have a separate charger plugged in if I want to charge the iPad at the same time. However, that solution works, these speakers do not.

Better than I could have hoped wanted a nitestand charging dock s[eaters a bonus turns out sound quality is better than the$200 bluetooth speakers I purchased and although cannot equal volume quality for the price rivals $1800 Sony Home theatre speakers. Little to no distortion of bass even on bass heavy hip hop, cannot find a product to equal this for under$100. Nice you can sync/backup without removing from dock, HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR IPAD!!!!

After getting ipad 2 wanted to get a sound system for all the music we added-and the one

on the APPLE site was a bit too expensive (or so we thought) got this...was excited as it was

pretty lightweight/compact...hooked it up-immediately you'll notice is a pain in the backside to

plug it in (every time you have to struggle to get it hooked up and be so very very careful)-the sound

wasn't that bad when it stayed on. We used it two times for a few minutes each and it kept cutting out...the third time it just didn't work-period. Didn't even

turn on. Save your money and go for a little more quality which we should have done in the first place. You

shouldn't have to BATTLE the connections every single time you put it on there and believe me you will. Its extremely fragile.

We are returning it in the morning since it doesn't work at all-expensive JUNK sad to say. Going back to the

APPLE site and hope we can find something else since Amazon isn't offering much else right now.

I was very pleased with this purchase. It did exactly what it was designed to do although not terribly impressed with sound quality (I did not buy this item for great sound). All was well until it broke...3 weeks after purchase and not returnable by seller's policy. The docking system would not engage with my iPad making this item worthless.

We were very pleased with our purchase of the iLuv speaker dock. It was all that the other reviews stated. The sound is full and rich. It fully supports the iPad and the iTouch as well. We also went to test others a a mall and they could not compare.'
