Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of iLuv iSP100BLK Mini Portable Speaker for MP3 Players (Black)
Customer Review: Great compact speakers although - high tones are a bit opaque
Summary: 4 Stars
Goods: Convenient to carry, decent sound volume (*although not as good as you may see in other reviews), built in volume control and good sound dispersion, good cable management design *They look good too.
Bads: Bass not much better than some other portable speaker systems (even cheaper ones) like iSymphony iPod W-Speaker and not even close to my old Logitech mm22 Portable Speakers for iPod - Portable speakerswhich are the best sounding portable speakers i own.
Sound Volume is good but not the best. Tested and compared to both speakers above and a couple other older sets I have (Hi-Tex portable speakers and some RadioShack clamshell like portable speakers i can't find online anymore) they all sound louder. Sound didn't show distortion even at the highest volume. I must say the other tested speakers are not as easy to carry as the iLuv though.
Tested all of them with a Sansa e280 mp3 player and while the iLuv speakers provided a little bit more bass than the iSymphony, the high frequency was noticeably less clear and crisp, even while leaning the iLuv so the speakers faced directly to me.
Now, this would be my wishlist for future models: 1. Option to use AC power or at least USB power. 2. an improved power switch (its location and sensitiveness can cause accidentally draining battery power, specially with the soft carry bag.) 2. improve sound clarity.
I would recommend these speakers to anyone who wants decent sound but the main issue is portability. If you can handle a slightly bigger package I would suggest the iSymphony with a slightly better overall sound and power adapter. If the main concern is Sound Quality, go for a model with twin speakers like the Logitech mm22 or others. BTW, if you want bass, might be interested in these: X-Mini II Capsule Speaker(which have a rechargeable battery too) or the Altec Lansing iM-237 Orbit Ultraportable Speaker for MP3 Players (Silver)
UPDATE AFTER A FEW WEEKS:
I'm really getting frustrated after wasting 4 sets of batteries because of the placement/design of the power button. I am now using an old car stereo case to carry the speakers trying to prevent accidental power switch toggle, but it adds bulk. Will probably switch back to my old Logitech speakers...
