Digital camera reviews of Sonic Impact V-55 Portable Speaker System with LCD Screen and Remote for iPod (Black)
Digital camera Review: Awesome for what I paid for it.
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking for a dock w/remote for my iPod. I saw this on clearance for under a $100 which is about the price for a video dock for iPod; I bought it.
The picture is good but not great for LCD. The sound is really loud!!!! for its size and sounds really good for its size. The remote docks into the unit and is quite small and not that great but, does the trick.
To charge you iPod you have to have it connected to a electric source. I will not charge you iPod from the battery. Battery life is good considering the power it puts out.
I travel quite a bit and I can play it over a car stereo or plug it into a Hotel TV. I'd plan on buying more of them as gifts.
Update: I have owned this for a few months now. It is still awesome. I take it to work at constructions sites and in warehouses. People come up to me and mentioned how great it sounds. It is loud enough for most outdoor enviroments. I have yet to take it to the beach. I used to lug around a Millwaukee Job radio but this is much smaller and sound just as loud and good. I played it the other day for a good 6 hrs. I really don't know the battery life on this yet but 6hrs. of rocking is good. Sometimes I have to drive vehicles that don't have a radio or any type of music I have found this will play loud and clear is a noisy military vehicle.
Digital camera Review: Awsome Sound Quality
Summary: 4 Stars
While the screen is super nice too, what I was amazed by is the sound quality of the small speakers! You can turn it all the way up with no distortion, close the top and use it as an ipod boom box. Really nice.Digital camera Review: BEWARE if you have iPod Classic (160gb)
Summary: 1 Stars
The V55 seems to be a slick device. I just got mine. I like it, with one major exception: I have an iPod Classic 160gb. Guess what! Apple blocks "TV Out" unless you have an "auth chip" from Apple and the V55 does not. I knew I risked that problem when I ordered it, I was just hoping it would work. The curse of Apple has been biting me for a while now with my iPod.
Still, v55 looks very nice (shows fingerprints badly) and sounds really good playing music. Wish I could play videos on it. Not Sonic Impact's fault though.
Digital camera Review: BUYER BEWARE!!
Summary: 1 Stars
This does not work as a video player with newer Ipod's including Ipod Nano! It only works for audio! Also, this company I think is out of business, cause I bought (4) of their products on Amazon, and am having issues with everyone one of them (power supply needs replace, rechargeable battery is dead....) and nobody returns phone calls or emails. If they are in business, it's worse customer service ever! DO NOT BUY SONIC IMPACT, YOU"LL REGRET IT!!!!!!!Digital camera Review: Bad headphone audio output
Summary: 2 Stars
I had the same experience that an earlier reviewer had: the headphone output puts out a static that is very noticeable and distracting with high-quality headphones. (I use the Shure E3c.) You can still hear the static, but more faintly, if you use the stock Apple earbuds.
I've had this problem on two units so far, and even SI's tech support was baffled. I am returning it, since the noise is very distracting during dialogue scenes. The speaker output is fine.
