Cool little digital receiver/ doesn't work with older iPods,
By ® (West Coast) - See all my reviews
This review is from: JVC NXPS1 Audio System with iPod Connect (Electronics)
Ok, I got these speakers because I loved the little digital receiver and the tight bass sound, even though I already have a Creative I-itrigue L3800 computer speakers. First off, the built quality is great and sound quality is phenomenal for a sub/equal to $[...] speakers. The four cubes design is very modern, small and compact. The digital receiver you see in the picture is the same size as the speakers cube. The tiny subwoofer is one of the best out there.
Sound comparisons: I am going to compare this to my older L-itrigue 3800 that is my standard for computer speakers. I am playing this off a Sound Blaster's Fatality sound card. The L-itrigue is much better overall for sound. It produced excellent high and mid range sound, but good bass. This NXPS1 produced excellent low (bass) and midrange, but only good high. The NXPS1 is a better choice for hip-hop, rap and drum and bass Jazz (Boney James), since the bass is a lot tighter and sounds fuller. I prefer vocal, trance/dance, classical jazz, rock and the I-itrigue is way better. You can hear the vocals (S. Brightman) for rock (Duran) and alternative (Bush, Travis) music much cleaner on the Creative, but kind of muggy on NXPS1. Other music like new age (Engima), trance/ techno (PVK), lounge (St. Germaine) music, and some jazz also perform much better on the I-itrigue with better high, so you get more ambient atmosphere: chiming. The I-trigue bass crack at higher (max) volume then the JVC. The JVC power output is similar to Creative, but seems get much louder, both are powerful enough for computer use. Features: JVC hands down is better or cooler, but there are some features that bugged me. First, this is designed for iPods, but only support 4th and 5th generation iPod, so my 3rd or 2nd generation iPod from 2004 will not work. This is also listed in the user manual. The USB audio on the back of the receiver produce a max. of 16bit 48000 Hz, which is a joke, the sound is so flat compare to my Sound blaster card max sound rate of 24bit 192000 Hz. This will produce a higher sound fidelity/range. So I have to run my cable from the sound card to the front panel of the AUX input. The USB memory card will read mp3 sound excellently, but doesn't read my napster's wma. The JVC receiver has more features then the Creative one, like the USB and IPod input, both have headphone and AUX input. JVC has play, pause, stop buttons and a digital track on the receiver that works for the USB memory, but doesn't affect my iPod at all, nor does the remote. Both have a mini remote that looks like they were manufacture from the same factory, but JVC has 2x the buttons on it. Also the JVC have a digital timer, sleep and timer, which only a few sub-100 speakers has. I think the JVC is a great overall speaker for sound and features. Too bad the Creative I-itrigue 3800 sound is a little better, but most people can't really tell. I will keep both for now.

This review is from: JVC NXPS1 Audio System with iPod Connect (Electronics)
This is a great little stereo system. It works well with my ipod and the sound can be very loud and clear. And its small enough that it can fit anywhere (except the subwoofer). Only downfall, is you can only choose the next song or previous song with the remote control on ipod setting. You cant change the artist, etc. You have to do that from your actual ipod. It did shut my ipod off completley once, I had to reset my ipod...I guess there are still some minor querks. But all in all it is a good product, worth the money spent.
I recommend it.

Great sound for a small price,

This review is from: JVC NXPS1 Audio System with iPod Connect (Electronics)
This little unit really packs a punch for its size. I picked one up for a steal on clearance at Sears for under $30. I must say it was money very well spent. The two small speakers combined with the sub woofer provide the perfect amount of sound for use in my living room. It's much smaller than the 10+ year old bookshelf system that it replaced. I have been able to play all of my iPods (Nano, 4th Gen, Classic, Touch) with no problem. My only peeve is having to physically go over to the iPod to select a new artist or play list. The preset EQ settings are average. I have found that it is best to my liking to just adjust the bass and treble to what I like. Overall I am very pleased with this system. For the sound I would expect to pay at least $80, but not the MSRP of $249.99. For that much you may as well buy a HTIB.
Pros: Small Size Great sound Cons: iPod controls are limited to PAUSE, NEXT, PREVIOUS. iPod dock cable is short. iPod "dock" is at a small angle.
