Digital camera reviews of Tivoli Audio iPAL Portable Audio Laboratory AM/FM Radio with Speaker (Silver/White)
Digital camera Review: Amazing Sound
Summary: 5 Stars
I am so pleased with my purchase! Not having an iPod, it's difficult finding a quality product that is universal to any brand of mp3 player. The sound is very rich and full, and is ultra portable whether you are using it with your laptop, or taking it on a camping trip. The radio has amazing range and clarity. Also, the battery life is extraordinary - it outlasts my mp3 player!
Can't afford a Bose system? Don't have an iPod but want sound as good as the gizmo that only an iPod can fit in? This is the way to go. You won't be disappointed.
Digital camera Review: Amazing Sound For Such A Little Box
Summary: 5 Stars
My criteria for purchase was this: I wanted a small radio with a small footprint which carried the best sound possible. Large box stores and other electronic stores carried nothing. I found the Tivoli on Amazon and purchased it due to reviews only. I was not disappointed in the slightest. I appreciate simplicity and the Tivoli is incredibly simple. Three dials: 1. on/off/band, 2. volume and 3. frequency dial. Radio produces rich, deep sound for music and voice. Has FM antenna, internal rechargeable batteries, recharging cord (radio can run off standard plug also). EXCELLENT sound. I may, in fact, end up purchasing another for a different room. For the price, for the size, for the simplicity, this radio yields astounding sound!Digital camera Review: Tivoli PAL Radio is a fine product.
Summary: 5 Stars
I own five of these radios. The quality, performance, and features are exceptional. I am quite pleased. Too bad the model I own only seems to be manufactured now as a new horizontal unit. The old vertical style had slightly more utility in a small space. Digital camera Review: Sounds great... when I can get a station...
Summary: 3 Stars
I live in the suburbs of Philadelphia. Given the reviews about great reception, I thought that this would be a great purchase. Well, maybe I have a defective radio, because the reception my radio gets is pretty bad or, better said, no better than my $15 clock radio. AM reception is particularly bad. On other radios, I can routinely get New York AM stations during the day without much difficulty. Not so much with the Tivoli...
Case in point for folks in Philly: On other radios, I can usually get WRTI 90.1 (Temple's home of classical and jazz) with little difficulty and little/no static. On the Tivoli, static has a way of ruining the fun...
That said, it DOES sound great. It DOES look pretty cool. If you are in a city with great AM/FM stations, buy one without hesitation. If you aren't, well, be aware of Amazon's return policies!!
Digital camera Review: Pretty Darn Good
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm not sure what I was expecting when I bought this thing. Based on the reviews I was expecting something to compete with my iPod Hi-Fi in a package one tenth the size, but that isn't what this thing is about.
What I found was that it does indeed have good sound, esecially when used on FM. With my iPod though I had to pay more attention to the settings to get the right sound and sometimes it didn't seem as loud as the FM and easily distorted with certain types of music.
None the less, I consider this to be a wonderful personal portable radio. Great for the office, bedroom, kitchen, or on the table during dinner. In a lot of ways the sound is just right. Just the right volume and clarity to give it many uses without being overpowering. Overall I'd give it 5 stars for the radio and 4 for the iPod. I'd also give it 6 stars for the built in rechargable battery which combined with it's very small size adds a huge amount of flexiblity to it.
