Digital camera reviews of Logic 3 IP104 iStation Traveller Speaker System for iPhone and iPod (Black)
Digital camera Review: A Pair of Speakers to Go!
Summary: 4 Stars
There are not a lot of choices for travel speakers (speakers light and compact enough to pack in your suitcase), but these speakers do the trick. They are lightweight and collapse to a compact, rectangular package (6-3/4" x 3-1/2" x 1-1/4"), but when open the speakers separate to about 8-1/2", giving a nice stereo sound. It comes with its own wall-wart power supply, also nicely small, as well as 4 batteries. Features include two "kick-stands" on the back that flip down for support, and an On-Off switch. No volume control and no bass/treble knob - control these from your player as much as you can.
It connects to your MP3 player via a 3.5mm headphone-style jack on a 7" cable, so it'll support any Phone model (I've got the 3G), an iPod, or even a Creative Zen Stone, for example.
The gap between the speakers cradles my iPhone, but it's a very loose fit, not so secure. Also, if the connection to the headphone jack on your player is on the bottom, you may have to turn it over if you want it cradled between the speakers. Or, just lay your player on the table.
The sound is fine but not outstanding. You won't get a booming bass response here, and the speakers strain a bit a full volume inputs, but it does get loud enough that I ran my iPhone at about 2/3 volume when working in the garage recently - music was plenty loud.
As another reviewer pointed out, this speaker pair will not charge your iPhone or iPod, but given it's price, that's no surprise.
The iStation has a lot of plastic and at times feels less than solid. But, it is light (the speaker module weighs 10 oz.) and I don't expect ot be tossing it around.
Overall, I do like the iStation. They are a very good choice for travelers.
