Teac SR-100i

Fri, 12 Nov 2010 19:02:51 -0500

The Teac SR-100i is an iPod docking station that looks just like Bowers & Wilkins’ Zeppelin dock. The difference is that it retails at a much more budget-friendly price. Regardless, the system offers iPod/iPhone connectivity, a single-slot CD player with support for WMA and MP3 discs, and a PLL synthesized FM tuner. Also included is a USB port for accessing music stored on a memory stick, and an auxiliary interface for connectivity with a traditional audio device. As for its audio capabilities, the SR-100i uses 2-way stereo speakers with a bass-reflex port to output approximately 100W of total power.

The Philips DC220/37 is a mid-cost docking station/alarm clock. You can wake up to your iPod/iPhone content by docking it on the DC220/37. The iPod/iPhone can be in its case and the docking will still work. Docking on the DC220/37 will also charge your iPod/iPhone. Besides waking up to your iPod/iPhone, you can also choose to wake up to FM radio (which you can program presets for), or MP3s from your MP3 player (via the MP3 Link feature). Alarm features include dual alarm capability, which allows you to set two different alarm times for you and your partner. You can also choose different settings for weekends and weekdays. The Gentle Wake feature allows you to be slowly jostled out of bed by a gradually louder alarm tone, rather than a consistently loud one.

Tue, 21 Sep 2010 17:41:49 -0400

The Philips DC290/37 is a high mid-cost alarm clock/docking station. The main feature that Philips emphasizes in promotion is the fact that you can dock your iPod/iPhone on the DC290/37 (even in the iPod/iPhone's case), thereby allowing you to use your iPod/iPhone content as wake-up music.

You can choose different alarm settings for weekends and weekdays. The Gentle Wake feature allows you to be slowly jostled out of bed by a gradually louder alarm tone, rather than a consistently loud one. This docking station is a step up from the lower cost DC320/37 in that it has an aluminum construction (which can withstand extreme temperatures and corrosion), Dynamic Bass Boost (for a fine-tuned bass sound), and Digital Sound Control (which offers EQ presets based on musical genre), though this docking station's speakers are only 5 watts each (as opposed to the DC320/37's, which are 6 watts each).

The JBL On Stage IV is a higher-end portable iPod speaker dock, released in fall 2010.

JBL has not provided the unit's power output. Users can navigate a docked iPod's menus with the included IR remote.

JBL On Stage Micro III

Wed, 15 Sep 2010 18:34:22 -0400

The On Stage Micro III is an entry-level portable iPod/iPhone speaker dock from JBL. Released in September 2010, it is the successor to the Micro II, released earlier in the year. Technologically, little is different, but the Micro III offers a revamped, "Weave" design that departs notably from the minimalist look of predecessors. The device, which can be powered with 4 AAA batteries, utilizes two 1" Odyssey neodymium transducers, not enough to provide very powerful sound (JBL has not provided the unit's exact power output). A docked iPod/iPhone can be synced with iTunes via USB.

Logitech S715i

Wed, 04 Aug 2010 17:26:15 -0400

The Logitech S715i is a portable iPod/iPhone speaker dock that diverges from the traditional trend of using smaller drivers coupled with a smaller battery. Instead the S715i uses more drivers and a stronger battery. In particular, it houses 8 custom-designed, laser-tuned speaker drivers designed to deliver “professionally tuned acoustics.” Of those eight, two are mid-range drivers, two are tweeters, and four are passive radiators designed to cover deep bass frequencies. Yet despite the abundance of components, the Logitech S715i manages to provide what critics describe as an ‘impressive’ 8-hour battery life. Additional features include a 30’-radius remote, a standard auxiliary input for connecting a portable MP3 player, and an included traveling case.

Features

Portable iPod/iPhone Speaker Dock
Two 3" Laser-Tuned Neodymium Drivers

The Gentle Wake feature allows you to be slowly jostled out of bed by a gradually louder alarm tone, rather than a consistently loud one. This alarm clock is a step up from the lower cost DC315/37 in that it has a pair of 6 watt speakers, PureDigital sound (which uses a digital signal processor to create clarity), remote control (which can be used to control the clock itself or the iPod/iPhone docked on it), and wooX loudspeaker technology (which makes for a deeper, more solid bass sound). However, this alarm clock lacks the higher cost DC290/37's aluminum construction (which can withstand extreme temperatures and corrosion), Dynamic Bass Boost (for a fine-tuned bass sound), and Digital Sound Control (which offers EQ presets based on musical genre), though the DC290/37's speakers are only 5 watts each.

Harman Kardon HK Go + Play Micro

Sun, 28 Mar 2010 17:03:47 -0400

Technologically, it is a scaled-down version of the HK Go + Play, with dual 15W, rather than 30W, tweeters and a single 30W woofer. The Go + Play features dual woofers and a lower frequency response minimum, meaning a stronger bass response. Both models can display on a larger screen photos and videos from a docked device, and the Micro is more portable due to a smaller form factor. It is not yet clear how its overall sound quality compares to that of the Go + Play, which was praised by reviewers.
