When the iPod was first released, most viewed it as a personal music player for traveling, working out, or other “individual” activities. But that all changed when people started storing their entire music collections on their iPods and doing away with CDs entirely. Among the many product categories that emerged in the aftermath was the iPod-specific speaker system, which lets you listen to your entire iTunes library out loud but without sacrificing portability. The jWin I177BLK is the latest incarnation–a user-friendly, compact speaker system that looks somewhat like a clock radio (and functions like one, too), but stands ready to deliver deep, rich audio playback. The powered system is outfitted with a dock on the top surface that holds many iPod models. The dock not only grips the iPod in an easy-to-access location, making it a breeze to find specific songs or hit shuffle, but it also charges the iPod while in use. As a result, you can remove the iPod from the dock right before working out and it’ll still be fully charged, even after playing through the speakers for an entire afternoon. Even better, the I177BLK isn’t restricted to the iPod, as it also connects to other USB-equipped personal MP3 players. Households with several personal music players won’t be left out of the playback loop. The system’s audio performance is warmly satisfying thanks to jWin’s Aura acoustic technology, which adds depth and clarity to the music reproduction.

Additional features include a user-friendly backlit LCD screen, a precision volume control that ensures a comfortable sound level, a remote control for maximum c (more…)

Got this for my daughter because she needed a new clock/docking station/etc. and I liked the design and hoped that it would function well as others had said.
