4.0 out of 5 stars Crisp Clear Sound, June 25, 2004
By J.SC "J.SC" (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews
These speakers give much better sound than my old pair of speakers. They also look much better than just about any multimedia speaker out there. Of course, they cost more too. If you are looking for a good sounding, sharp designed set of speakers and can afford the $150-$200 price, get these. If these cost too much, but you still want something unique looking, try the JBL Creature II speaker set. It ranges $60 - $100.
A few things you cannot tell from the product description:
> These speakers (Soundstick II) are compatible with PCs. The original Soundsticks were only for Apples.
> The casing, though plastic, is very solid. I can't tell how scratch resistant it is though. I have not tried to scratch them yet...
> The subwoofer has a bass adjust knob.
> One of the satellite speakers has a touch volume control.
> The system does not have an on/off button. It designed to stay on all the time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Everything sounds perfect except metal stuff......, January 1, 2005

I set up my Soundstick in my bed room.. not with the computer, but with my iPod, I tried them with my iPod at various stores before I bought them. they sound much better than the JBL Creature 2, so if you are choosing between the two, you don't have to, go buy the Soundstick 2.
they are strongly built, very soild, they sound a little stiff brand new, but, you know, that's normal for audio speakers, especially the sub. I run them at low volume for few hours and they start singing right there, I put the satellites on the table top, about 2 feet from each other, and the sub under the table, have a lot of definition and "width" from the two tiny, and with the bass boost twist at the back of the sub, you'll be amazed how easy the balanced tone can be adjusted, and they sound very soild even in very low volume,
I tried pop stuff like Michelle Branch, Clay Aiken, sound very clean, and have a very good definition, jazz greats like Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, every instruments sound so distinct, and bands like Maroon 5, My Chemical Romance(it's esp good on trying stereophonic), Story of the Year, or even bit heavier Blink, or the D'n'B 4Hero, the Soundstick 2 still provide very good spectrum of different freq inside small area like my bedroom, thing like bassline and bass drum are audible and solid, yet highs like hihat and cymbal are clean but not ping, the overall performance is excellent, considering the price and size of the unit.
but when I turn to a even heavier side, like Pantera, Slayer, or Soilwork, Mnemic or Shadows Fall, those fast double bass rumbles are still audible, very clean, but even i boost the bass a little bit more, it still do not have enough power and air to be felt, i 'm not talking about that kinda floor shaking storm, but just not enough "heaviness", but i think it's partly due to the fact that I connected the Soundstick directly to the iPod dock.
Cons?! i'd be happier if the bass adjust knob is placed at the front of the sub, but not the back, so i can hear the difference in tone while i'm adjusting, without leaning real close to the sub, which on and off gave me the illusion of excessive bass. And they don't have any kind of indication on peak or threshold volume-wise, the touch volume control is good to use, but very often i'm worrying about if i would peak the system by turning too loud, especailly back when it's brand new.
I'd recommend everyone buying one of this for small room use, the Soundstick sound really great, and combine with artistic design, the blue LED is really a thoughtful attraction, which really add points for anyone who want their system to be more than ordinary audio speakers, but a feelie as well.

What's the best speaker system for the iPod nano?
Q. I have a few of the cheap $10-20 portable speakers, but they sound so crappy and so distorted. I have been researching, and the Bose sound dock is what I want, but more than I want to spend. I read reviews on the Altec Lansing im7 and the Logitech mm50, and they too are a lot of money - I am wondering if anyone has these, if they REALLY sound good, maybe I'll spend it, but I can't find a store that will let me listen to them. Can anyone tell me? I want one that will fit the nano properly and charge it as well, while still being somewhat portable.
So at an apple store they will let you listen to all the speakers live in person? Great, I tried at target and best buy, and no luck- maybe I just need to find an apple store?

Answer
You can sample a wide variety of speakers at an Apple store. The Bose system is definetly worth the money. I have the JBL OnStage Speakers with dock and they work great. It's very portable too. I use the AUX cord it came with to attach it to my computer so it doubles as computer speakers. And it comes with these changeable plastic frame pieces so any iPod, even the nano, will have a perfect fit. Which ever system you purchase, just read it to find if the dock will also charge your nano.
