The portability and durability of this product make it an attractive option if you are content with only ever owning an iPod mini or nano.

Cygnett GrooveTime has the right price, although sound quality is average and the controls are awkward to use.

The sound quality and high price tag make it hard to justify buying a portable speaker package like this solely for its design.

The On Time combines good sound quality with an excellent design and ease of use, but lacks a few features that we have come to expect at this price.

The SR-L200i conveniently awakes you to your iPod tunes, but the sound quality produced is average.

The iM4 delivers above average sound quality for a set of portable speakers.

An excellent option for iPod nano owners, the iTrip combines ease of use with a unique design.

It’s a little on the pricey side, but the TuneFlex’s adjustable steel neck ensures your iPod will be in the best position possible and it also offers a line-out jack and dock connector for extra accessories.

If you own a Harman Kardon receiver and an iPod, you should run out and buy this now. For the rest of us, you can just hope more products like this become available.

This is a fantastic unit with surprisingly good audio quality. Apart from some minor control issues, the TuneBase FM’s unique flexible neck ensures it is ahead of the competition.

The sound quality isn’t the greatest, but if you want a system to carry your music around then the included backpack and unique rubberised case may be of some interest.

We just can’t recommend this speaker system. Look elsewhere, even at previous Altec Lansing models, because this one has missed the gun.
