Boston Acoustics reveals Horizon i-DS2 iPod boombox

by Darren Murph, posted Aug 18th 2008 at 5:09PM


It only takes a glance to realize that Boston Acoustics' Horizon i-DS2 iPod boombox is merely a cleaned up version of the knobby Duo-i, but we must say, the new look is pretty sleek. Built to function with any dock-connecting iPod, this 60-watt speaker system includes twin 3.5-inch full-range drivers, a composite video output, USB connector and an auxiliary input for plugging in other DAPs / PMPs. The unit itself arrives in glossy white or glossy black, though users with an itch to customize can select from a variety of P.O.P. metal grilles. On paper, the unit isn't too shabby, but the $179.99 price tag is somewhat of a drag.

Vita Audio adds a splash of luxury to R4 iPod / DAB radio

by Darren Murph, posted May 12th 2008 at 6:09PM


Nothing says sexy like a sleek wood trim, wouldn't you wholeheartedly agree? Vita Audio obviously does, as it's £499.99 ($980) R4 integrated music system just screams lavish. The all-in-one unit packs an iPod dock, slot-loading CD / MP3 / WMA-music disc player, USB port, DAB and FM tuner with RDS, front and rear auxiliary ports, built-in display, alarm clock function and the firm's detachable RotoDial remote. For those not feeling the rich walnut veneer, there's also a high-gloss white (surprised?) version available for £50 ($97) more. Sadly, the "coming soon" tidbit leaves us clueless as to how long you actually have left to save up for either of the pricey systems.

Canton unveils DSS 303 iPod sound system

by Darren Murph, posted Mar 27th 2008 at 6:02PM


While there's a logjam of iPod speaker systems muddling up the $100 - $200 price range, Canton's looking to catch the eyes of those who prefer the somewhat finer things in life. The DSS 303 Digital Soundstation -- which is available in both black and white -- includes a pair of 4-inch aluminum cone woofers that handle frequencies from 38Hz to 25kHz, an AM / FM radio, clock, remote control, 3.5-millimeter auxiliary input and the obligatory iPod dock. There's also twin 1-inch fabric dome tweeters mounted on-axis with the woofers, and the internal amplifier is good for up to 50-watts per channel. Look for this one to land real soon for $499.

Logitech unveils Pure-Fi Elite speaker system for iPod

by Darren Murph, posted Sep 12th 2007 at 12:42PM

Hot on the heels of Logitech's Pure-Fi Dream and Anywhere iPod speakers comes the Pure-Fi Elite, a system that reportedly ups the ante by offering up 80-watts of power and looks a hair like the AudioStation of old. Reportedly, the device touts two-way sats, one-inch tweeters, and four-inch woofers to go along with the built-in LCD display, wireless remote, iPod dock, video output, and auxiliary input jack. Details surrounding price and availability don't yet look to be officially available, but word on the street has this sucka landing next month for around $300.
