If you are one of the 10s of millions of music lovers who owns an iPod or other digital music player, chances are you are usually listening to your favorite music through earphones – a personal and isolating experience. Don’t you think your iPod would serve you better if you have a little speaker system to play your music out loud – whether it is because you are walking around your kitchen or hanging out with friends or sitting around with your family on vacation?
Unfortunately, most MP3 players do not come with any built-in speakers, so you need to find some portable external speakers if you want to hear your music without earphones. Good news is, there are many different external iPod speakers and docking stations out there that would let you enjoy long hours of accurately reproduced music from your iPod or iPhone – at home or on the go. In this week’s Editor’s Choice, we will take a look at a rechargeable speaker from Logitech called S315i.
Product Summary:
The good:
The Logitech S315i Rechargeable Speaker is portable that makes it easy for you to take to picnics, parties, the backyard, or room to room. At 10.5 inches wide, 5 inches tall, and an inch deep, the unit will fit nicely into any carry-on bag or purse. It comes with a built-in rechargeable battery – you can listen to your music for up to 20 hours without the power cord in sight using Power-saving mode. Best is, it charges the iPod while docked, works flawlessly with the iPhone, and it features an auxiliary line-input [a standard 3.5mm stereo jack], which can be used to just about any portable music player.
The bad:
The Logitech S315i Rechargeable Speaker doesn’t come with a case in the package and its power-saving mode will surely compromise audio/sound quality.
Bottom line:
The Logitech S315i Rechargeable Speaker is a good choice for iPod/iPhone owners who are constantly on the go.
Price: $120.37
