I wanted to be able to bring my ipod to work with me and listen to some music while I work. I didn't want anything big to sit on the desk, but I did want something that one looked nice and had a nice sound to it.  I found the perfect system on ebay. This little system is perfect for your desk and the sound quality is great. I haven't turned it up but don't intend to I just like...

I am recording classical guitar duets, trios and quartets along with some solo guitar stuff.  I have used a number of microphones over the years: audio technica, sure etc (all around the $500 CAD range).  I recently started to use a AKG 414 and was so impressed with what a higher level microphone had to offer, I began to budget for another one for my home studio.  I got the AKG 4...

We originally bought this stereo for my brother, but now he's off to college and it resides in my room.I have to say I love the option of hooking up my laptop or iPod to this stereo with a cord and blasting music that way.  It has great bass, and a wide volume range.  You can put up to 5 discs (plus a mini-disc) into it at a time and cycle through them.  A great thing about t...

I was having trouble wake up a lot. My alarm would go off, I would ignore it for a minute, than slap/kick or generally hit it in some way till it stopped beeping - without waking up or being bothered at all. This continued on until I made up my mind to get something that would REALLY wake me up. I considered wacky options like alarm clocks that shocked out, hit you on the head with a hammer, or...

This digital audio system for iPod is a must-have if you own an iPod. It has two built-in speakers that sound clear and loud! Not only does this system play the contents of your iPod, it also charges it for as long as it is connected to it. That means you can kill two birds with one stone! This system also displays the digital time on the front and comes with a wireless remote. It comes with 5 ...

Bose does it again. They managed to make an overpriced, under-featured audio monstrosity and then convince thousands of people that it's the best equipment on the market. In fact, the Bose Wave Music System is nothing more than a very expensive clock radio.The base unit of the Wave is about the size of a shoe box. It sports a single CD slot and a very small and simple display which has big,...

My son bought a music player, Technics for home. It is with the remote control. I find it quite different from any player normally available in the market. The  Technics is combination of CD player and cassette player and consist of four units. All four units are connected with each other via codes and thus function as a single unit. The Technics SB-HD310 is a main unit and plays CD . The ...

The Klipsch iGroove HG All-in-One iPod Shelf System is a sturdy, fairly compact stereo. It was very simple to set up. It works with almost all iPods and has little adapters for the smaller models of iPods. The speakers are clear and produce fantastic sound. Occasionally with some music, it's deep base is a little too much. That can be fixed by changing the setting on your iPod if you tend t...

This iHome 2 Go is a nifty little product! I got it at Marshall's so I'm not sure the exact retail price, I paid about $30 for mine. It's a small black box that has speakers on the side. In the front you slip in your iPod nano. It takes 3 AA batteries. It's a small device, but it's good because you can take it out with you in the garden, to the beach, camping. Any where you ...

The Kensington SX2000 iPod dock promises to provide amazing sound in a compact unit that also charges your iPod when connected. It has a large flat rectangular speaker which promises 'room filling stereo sound' without distortion thanks to NXT's advanced SurfaceSound® flat panel speaker technology. I bought one of these a few months ago, to replace aging laptop speakers connected to m...

The iBlaster Orb is one of the cheap knock-off of other iPod speaker systems. Let's just say this is no $300 Bose unit. The good: very simple to use (plug it in, insert any iPod, operate iPod menus on iPod); charges iPod unit; and can also serve as syncing base. The bad: sound quality is not acceptable for music OK for spoken word; large footprint on desktop, not "sexy" like many of ...

I couldn't find the category for this unit and have filed it under home audio for lack of a better category. The Focusrite digital to audio converter is what I ended up using for my homestudio.  I want to make things very clear: it sounds fantastic.  However, this hardware is a bit fussy to work with, has a really poorly written user manual for a product that has so much functio...

For the price range, this microphone does a great job and can supply its own power via the 9v battery it has so one does not need phantom power.  However, I want to share that I have other more expensive microphones such as a Neumann 184 and really want to emphasize that if someone is passionate about their recording project, they should save up and get the best microphone that they can....

I want to be clear, I am recording acoustic guitar playing and most of this guitar playing is on nylon string instruments.  I have tried a number of recording methods; usually on the cheap for many a year - recording onto 4 tracks with Sure SM57s etc that were kicking around. I recently got into using my computer and recording digitally through a high quality, although fussy, Focusrite a...

Can you say WOW??  This system is an amazing home audio system.  Initially, I had to wwould be enough, but there was no need to worry.  First of all, set up of the system was very quick and easy. A walkthrough DVD is included with the system.  With this series, you get a receiver, two speakers and a sub-woofer.   For me, I really liked that the speakers are unobtru...

I was given these Logitech speakers for christmas last year and was considering taking them back because I already had iPod speakers, but instead I kept the new logitech speakers and traded my old ones in. They have outstanding audio quality aswell as bass for such small speakers. The speakers can go very loud and take alot of bass for such small speakers aswell as sound that is almost sur...

This was a cheap system at approximately $100.  However, it was worth the money that was paid as it has held up well.  The system has a three CD changer on top but can be difficult to use if you are not use to it.  You can put a CD in to be played next and it will skip right past it.  I have yet to fiqure that out.  The radio work fairly well but when placed in a confin...

I've never been a fan of cheap computer speakers, although I guess they were better than nothing when I had no other choice for my computer at work.  My desk used to be located in one of our company's common rooms, where I sat with about eight other people.  That room was noisy enough that I couldn't really listen to my cheap speakers anyway, but when I was moved into my o...

If you have an iPod, which most people in the free world seem to own, then there are many available accessories for you to purchase.  One of my favorite is offered by a company called iHome and it is a dual alarm clock/docking station for your iPod. This product comes in either black and white, and although it is quite bulky it is a nice piece of equipment.  You can program this docki...

We purchased this system less than a year ago. It has a DVD and surrond sound combo. It was purchased for about 80.00. IT is a worthless product. I would definitly not recommend anyone wasting there money on this. When it did work the sound quality was poor and the speakers were very generic. After using it about 3 months it started stoping in the middle of movies (dvd), so we would then have t...
