Who says the iPod is for mobile music only? Not the folks at iHome, that’s for sure. Here’s our look at the very cool looking iSpeakers (ok i made that up), the iH69 speaker system. This may be a set of speakers worth considering.
iHome, the folks who brought you the hot iPod alarm clocks you’re starting to see in every hotel room similar to this one, is releasing two beautiful new iPod-compatible audio systems. One is small and loud, and the other’s got Bluetooth.
The iH69 iPod Computer Speaker System with Computer Sync, in addition to being a mouthful, is a compact, versatile solution for all your dorm/desktop/bedroom audio needs.The iH69 iPod Computer Speaker System with Computer Sync, in addition to being a mouthful, is a compact, versatile solution for all your dorm/desktop/bedroom audio needs. It docks, charges, plays and syncs your iPod and computer audio (or any other audio source for that matter) and sounds as good as some of the larger computer speaker options out there.
It’s being marketed as a clutter-reducing sound solution. The iH69 also has a remote control and is built on 20-watt, 2.5? Reson8 speakers.
For a more robust choice, the iP47 looks like it will be a sick desktop solution with built-in Bluetooth to wirelessly stream your audio from a cell phone, PDA or computer.For a more robust choice, the iP47 looks like it will be a sick desktop solution with built-in Bluetooth to wirelessly stream your audio from a cell phone, PDA or computer. It also works with your iPhone and has a speakerphone/microphone combo that lets you take/make calls right on the device.
Like we’ve seen with other iHome clock/radio options, the iP47 also features dual alarms, AM/FM radio, snooze, etc.
Both products hit stores in June, and look for dads and grads to drool over them. The iP47 will sell for $199.99, and the iH69 has been delayed until fall, according to Laurie Bella, spokeswoman for iHome.
I have a few issues with the dock location, as in whether it will affect the sound from the speaker being, but it seems to be a nice little unit.
