5.0 out of 5 stars Superb little speaker, October 27, 2008

By	Mo - See all my reviews

This review is from: Speakal iPig 2.1 Stereo iPod Docking Station with 5 Speakers (Pink) (Electronics)

The only drawback is the cutesy appearance which makes this unit look more like a toy than a serious compact sized all in one IPOD dock.

Having had 4 Harmon Kardon Go+Play and being very familier with the HK sound, I consider this a baby Harmon Kardon Go+Play. It doesn't have the same maximum volume but it does get respectably loud with true 24 watts and audio extension down to 60 hz. VERY clear, present and strong. A super unit that's only about 6.3 inches in diameter, making for the best sounding small all in one unit I have ever heard.

Incidentally, I travel with the highly regarded larger Boomtube unit reviewed on Amazon here:

http://www.amazon.com/Virgin-VS2100-Boomtube-Portable-Speaker/dp/B000ARIT5G/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1225204410&sr=8-3

The IPIG walls ALL OVER the Boomtube. No comparison- much better frequency response, more presence, clarity, deeper bass, and louder. The only drawback is that this is too small to give stereo separation. This is going to be my new travel music unit. I tested it with wireless microphone and it works great also as an amplification system good enough for speaking to 100 people.

4.0 out of 5 stars I'm an "audio professional", and I like it!, January 27, 2010

This review is from: Speakal iPig 2.1 Stereo iPod Docking Station with 5 Speakers - Limited Edition (Black) (Electronics)

First of all, let me qualify "audio professional" - because I know that is your first question about my review.
I work as the Audio Video and Lighting Manager at a large Baptist Church in Cary, NC. My background before this job is all recording studio work. So, I've been employed as an "audio professional" of one kind or another for close to a decade now.
I purchased this as a gift for my wife. Something to dock her iPod in the kitchen. Check. Something that matched our black appliances and granite counter tops. Check. Something that had decent reviews as it pertained to sound. Check. When we pulled it out of the box, my wife was a little confused at first. When I explained what it was and we plugged it in for a listen... I was pretty shocked. Its VERY respectable. I like it. She likes it. We have a Homedics iPod dock/alarm clock in our bedroom. I hate the way it sounds. But this... I like. Enough said?
