The iLuv i199 is an entry-level stereo speaker system with an integrated iPod dock and Bluetooth wireless technology. It plays iPods, external MP3 players, CDs, and USB audio devices. Most unique about this system is its BluePinTM wireless audio transmitter/receiver. This unique little gadget lets a user listen to music wireless on either headphones or speakers – assuming they are equipped with Bluetooth technology – from any room in his or her house. Users also have the option of instead utilizing the integrated jAura acoustic speaker technology, which hosts two built-in speakers built for enhanced depth and clarity. Other notable features of the i199 include better AM reception via an external loop antenna, a traditional alarm buzzer, and a dual alarm clock.
