Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

There's no shortage of portable iPod speaker systems on the market, but few have the chops to deliver serious bass. Enter the iThunder boombox, which offers just the type of powerful, undistorted low-end response you've come to expect from MTX Audio. Simply insert your iPod into the iThunder and crank it up, and the music will come booming out of the pair of 4-inch, full-range speakers. The resulting crisp, full- bodied audio puts other iPod systems to shame, and lets you enjoy your favorite tunes anywhere in the home or outdoors. The iThunder comes with a built-in docking station that's compatible with any dock-connecting iPod, along with a pop-up handle that's ideal for listeners on the move. Even better, the handle is controlled by an easy- to-use spring-action mechanism; just pop it up to get moving and then push it down when you arrive. No more dealing with an annoying plastic handle that's always in your way.

Listeners will also dig the iThunder's full-function remote control, which lets you access many of your iPod's handiest functions. Controls include play/pause, forward and back, volume up/down, mute, backlighting, and shuffle. And when you're not using your remote, you can simply pop it in the convenient recess in the back of your iThunder. Other details include a 3.5 mm auxiliary input for MP3 players, support for eight C-size batteries or standard AC power, and an attractive pink housing. The iThunder measures 15.5 by 7.06 by 4 inches (W x H x D), weighs 5.5 pounds, and is backed by a one- year warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sounds Great - And It Comes In Pink, January 9, 2007

By 

PH Esq (Orange County, CA) - See all my reviews

My daughter chose this based on the color, but after readings some reviews and checking it out at a local store, it looked good enough to try. It sounds great with good bass at low volume levels and the remote is intuitive and works well. Nice pop-up handle to carry it around, and your expensive and fragile iPod slips into a well protected socket (not sticking up like many models).

You can use batteries and take it along, or AC of course. It has some weight, like a comparable sized boom box, because it takes some decent sized speakers and magnets with an adequate power supply to give good bass at a reasoable price.

No probelms so far, after two weeks of use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just Perfect!, April 3, 2007

My husband bought this for me for my birthday as a surprise and he couldn't have bought anything more perfect. I just wanted something simple that I could take to the kitchen, garage, garden, etc. to listen to my music. All the others I saw had an alarm clock or radio, which is fine, but not what I was looking for.

You know how it is with your iPod. After buying it, you then have 437 accessories to go with it and I didn't want to add any more complications. I wanted something that played my music well, pure and simple. And that is what the iThunder does. It really has like only 3 switches - on, off, volume. There's a remote that fits in the back of the iThunder that actually has more features than the $50 iPod remote. Plus it charges your iPod. It comes with adjusters so your iPod slips right in. It's perfect if what you want is to carry your music to other rooms so you can hear your tunes and your kids at the same time.

And it's pink! I know, it sounds girly and shallow, but I love the color - everything. It's the best accessory I've gotten for my iPod and this is coming from someone who bought 4 different cases because I'm so picky!

4.0 out of 5 stars It's awesome! As long as you have an older iPod, May 3, 2011

This is great, but isn't compatible with any iPhones or iPod Touches - I'm not sure if it even works with the new 'iPod Classic' but it does work with my iPod 5.5 (Video) - and it's great! I ordered a 2nd one for my bathroom; and another for my girlfriend! I really wish they'd come out with a new version that works with the newer iPods and iPhones - I haven't been able to find any other boomboxes with this good of sound - and that don't have your iPod precariously propped up on top, waiting for someone to bump it and break off the dock. Oh and the popup handle is great, too.
