Digital camera reviews of Tivoli Audio iPAL Portable Audio Laboratory AM/FM Radio, Silver/White
Digital camera Review: Good sound but poor construction!
Summary: 2 Stars
I was pleased with the sound quality and FM reception of my iPal, but the antenna broke off the first week I had it and now, 2 months later, it has begun shutting itself off (losing power) a few minutes after being turned on. As well designed as it might be, it's still made in China!Digital camera Review: Great
Summary: 5 Stars
Nothing bad but the price on this great radio. But if you want a 5-star radio you have to pay the price.
The sound at all volume levels is superior to any other portable I have ever owned.
The reception with this radio is even better than my shortwave radios on AM and I live in the desert surrounded by hills and mountains.
The battery life is great at the sound level I like. The sound from that single speaker is full and warm....like a tube radio.
Nothing feels cheap about this radio and it certainly doesn't look cheap.
The only thing I don't like is that there is no AUX position for my MP3 player. When you plug the player in it disables everything else so if you were listening to the player and then want to listen to the radio you need to unplug the player. This is a minor but unacceptable inconvenience on a radio of this quality and price.
So if you want to buy a real good radio you may want to consider this one.
I also own a Tivoli Model II and that is also another 5-star radio.
Tivoli audio know how to make sound sound great.
Digital camera Review: Great Little Radio
Summary: 5 Stars
We share the enthusiasm of the others for this Tivoli Audio iPAL. Our location is such that it's been tough finding any radio that can dependably receive the 2 stations that we wish to listen to at the beginning and ending of the day. In addition, we have no receptacle where we want the radio positioned. The boom box we WERE using was a royal pain with size and performance problems and we spent a small fortune on 'D' cells.
THIS radio picks up our target stations perfectly with no dropout, easy tuning and no drift pretty much ANYWHERE in the house. We just finally ran it down after at least 2 weeks of listening for a total of about 1 hour/day PLUS one whole night. (The first night, my wife didn't see how to turn it off even tho it's obvious, so she just turned the volume all the way down.) When it finally ran down, it didn't act funny... It just stopped. It made absolutely the most use of the available power. A charge and it's back in business and should run more than a couple of weeks before the next charge is required. OR, we'll probably set a certain morning each week to charge it so that it never runs down.
There's no presets on this radio, but if that's important to you, just "preset it" with a piece(s) of tape and a pencil mark(s).
The radio is surprisingly small, but it fills the bathroom just fine, and I can hear more detail (I'm 66 years old and have lost some hearing) with it than with any of the assorted other radios and boom boxes we've used. We're thoroughly impressed and are glad we made this purchase.
Digital camera Review: Great product
Summary: 5 Stars
The iPAL is simply amazing. I'd used other speakers for the ipod before, but never got this kind of sound. It's a great little package that you can carry to the garden, garage or beach, plays as loud as you want, long time between charges and again, it sounds spectacular. Totally unexpected. The design is excellent- simple, sleek and extremely functional. The tuner works well also. It's so convenient, I've stopped listening to my stereo altogether.Digital camera Review: Great sound from a small system.
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading other reviews for this radio I ordered one for myself. I was not disappointed. I bought mine for use at the office and I love it. I am very impressed with the exception sound. The portability (I bought a carrying case for mine)Tivoli Audio PAL Carry Bag for iPAL and PAL and the time between charges are great features. I mainly got it for use with my MP3 player, but the radio is good and has terrific reception at work. I just bought another as a gift for my mom.
