Digital camera reviews of Tivoli Audio iPAL Portable Audio Laboratory AM/FM Radio, Silver/White
Digital camera Review: Wow the price has gone up!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
I have had this product for a long time. It has great sound and amazing ability to pick up far away stations. I have never had a problem mechanically, (the outside has worn a bit). I am very surprised on the price though. I bought it for $129 and it has gone the opposite way of most electrical products - UP!! And it is no different now than 5 yrs ago. Digital camera Review: Tuner is less than desired.
Summary: 3 Stars
On most counts this is a dandy little radio. The sound is great, the rechargable battery lasts for many hours and recharges quickly. You can play you MP3 player through the speaker. The only down side is the tuner. The stations drift in and out and it will recieve two stations at the same time. A radio in this price range should have a better tuner.Digital camera Review: I love my iPal and Model Ones dearly, but...
Summary: 5 Stars
how hard would it be to have an "aux" position on the selector dial? I am constantly switching back and forth from radio to iPod input and it's a pain to have to fish around behind the unit to plug or unplug the aux. cable for the radio. I absolutely love these radios, though, and wouldn't trade them for anything. I know it wouldn't look as "slick", but even putting the aux. jack on the front would be an improvement.
Update: I agree with everyone - the new prices are absurd. I bought 2 Model 1s for $85 new, and an iPal for $120. I would not buy any more of these at the current prices. I would lower my star rating if I could.
Digital camera Review: i is for integrated
Summary: 5 Stars
The iPal is a beautiful and well-constructed piece of equipment. It has great tonal range for the single speaker and portable form. It should have been designed with a handle though.
It gets great reception although it can be subject to electrical interference when moving about the room. I find that fine-tuning the dial usually eliminates this completely.
The dials feel great to move. I love the tuner dial with the geared indicators, it is easy to tun it just right. Very smooth with just the right amount of resistance. You don't have to worry about bumping the dials on accident.
It has a solid, quality feel to it all around.
I've not used my iPod on it. It comes with a simple stereo mini jack male-male cable so any MP3/Tape/CD player would provide input.
I would recommend Tivoli Audio iPAL to any of my friends or family.
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.
