Speaker dock / ultra portable speaker system.
Speaker dock / ultra portable speaker system. Posted on: 07.05.2013 by Doug Bieling Hi all, I'm after a new speaker dock for my phone and tablet. Hopefully bluetooth but doesnt have to be. Most important is that its compact but gives a real kick. I did have a Klipsche iGroove HG but its a but rubbish now as its the old 30 pin adapter with the OOOLLDD switched cables so that it doesn't charge anything any more. Can anyone recommend a more upto date dock that kicks out a real decent sound but isn't too heavy or big. Many thanks all MMM | |

| Harvey Mcintyre 13.05.2013 | I am very happy with my Jawbone Jambox which i have already over a year. Great portability when i want to play Dj on my hotel room when traveling for work. |
| Tamela Batara 13.05.2013 | Possibly. Bear in mind though that the B&W does cost more than either the Bose or the Jawbone linked above. But it is just leagues ahead of either of them in terms of sound quality. I believe they sell them in Apple Stores, and high end HiFi stores, so it should be possible to demo one first. You will be blown away at what they can do. |
| Doug Bieling 13.05.2013 | I sure am. Will check that one out. I believe I have been spoilt by the Klipsch. It's such a loud piece of kit for the price. |
| Tamela Batara 13.05.2013 | B&W Zepplin. It really is THE best. Ok, not the cheapest, but it will kick the ass off the Bose and Jawbone without breaking a sweat. I'm guessing your in UK since you said 60 quid? |
| Doug Bieling 13.05.2013 | Just in case anyone is interested. The Altec Lansing dock arrived today. Gone straight back in the box to go back! Horrible sound. Cant believe it gets such good reviews. It vibrates and rattles and is far too boomy. You can tweak it so it sounds ok, but only whilst close to it. Its no match for the big sound that comes out of the Klipsche iGroove HG. Back to the drawing board. |

I've also ordered a bluetooth receiver to go with it so I can use my android phone and tablet with it. If it's rubbish I'll send it back and try a more expensive unit but for 60 quid and the reviews it gets I couldn't not at least try it. |

| Doug Bieling 08.05.2013 | I'm not fussed about battery really. I'm used to plugging my dock in. Have you ever heard the Klipsch igroove hg? That's what I'm replacing. |

| Doug Bieling 08.05.2013 | Many thanks all. The Roland is a bit expensive for what I'm after but looks very interesting I believe I'll keep my eyes peeled for one of them logitechs. Does it kick out a decent amount of low ends for its size? |
