Travel Speaker System for iPod with carrying case (White) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a bit surprised that the Memorex Travel Speaker and iPod Dock is not more popular. It is reasonably priced (as far as iPod docks go), is portable (roughly the size of a paperback book), ad offers fair sound quality. Some have complained about the volume sensitivity, but that was never a problem for me. Here is my run downPros
- Reasonably priced for an iPod Dock
- Has a line-in input which allows for the play-back of all music sources that have a headphone out
- Will charge your iPod
- Will work with your iPhone (Although it must be in Airplane Mode)
- Works all iPods...Touch... Classics... shuffles (using the line-in input).
- Roughly the size of a paperback novel
- Will use batteries in addition to an AC power supply
- Has a blue clock display (not much of a positive - it is too small and hard to see).Cons
- Sound quality is only fair - the unit is unable to deliver bass below about 100Hz. Admittedly, this is not unexpected "small and portable" and "deep bass" are basically mutually exclusive.
- Would be nice if had a remote control
- Rechargeable batteries would be a nice feature
- Does not offer a display for the song that is displaying (pretty minor flaw....if it really is a flaw)
- Requires your iPhone to be placed on Airplane Mode (again, not a big deal)
Final Verdict - While it is not as popular to me it is a much better option that the Livespeakr Ultra-Portable Speaker System for iPod/iPhone (White). The Livespeakr Ultra-Portable Speaker System for iPod/iPhone (White) is smaller and offers rechargeable batteries, but it has significantly worse sound quality (Slightly better than a transistor radio). However, if you are planning to use the Memorex Travel Speaker as a stand alone speaker for a room - I would suggest that you invest a few more $$$ and look at Altec Lansing T612 Digital Speaker for iPod and iPhone (Black) or my personal favorite the Altec Lansing inMotion MIX iMT800 Portable Digital Boom Box for iPhone and iPod (which has GREAT sound - but will never be mistaken for being "Portable").
4 1/2 stars
