eWoo eFizz Travel Speaker For iPod Review

While iPod speakers are a dime a dozen these days, it’s often hard to find a really good one for the money. Ewoo, while sounding like an overseas car manufacturer actually makes a travel speaker dock for the iPod called the eFizz Travel.

Boasting up to 20 hours of wireless battery charge, the eWoo eFizz is an ideal companion when the scenario calls for no electrical outlets. Featuring an attractive all black finish the eFizz is head to toe speaker grill. Being one of the smallest iPod speaker docks I have used it is fairly lightweight and easy to hold. My iPod Classic 80g fit very snug and secure and the eFizz had a very cushioned and balanced posture sitting upon any level surface.

Operation was pretty simple overall. Colored lights denoted what was going on with the rechargable lithium-polymer battery and the remote while very basic, performed well. One of the touted features though, the “One Touch Info Button” did not work whatsoever. The user manual CD was vague at best and the email I sent two weeks ago to customer service has yet to be replied to. What it is supposed to be is some on screen iPod interface that shows battery level and some other things but I could never get to it. Not that it was a truly imperative feature it would have been nice to explore all of the eFizz’s offerings. Note: I did actually see this screen twice for a couple seconds at a time. It was totally random and I could not get back to it. All it displayed was the level of charge for the eFizz.

The eFizz connects easily with iTunes via supplied USB cable which is cool if you have it near your computer for transferring music or downloading new firmware. Note that you need to have power supplied to the eFizz in order for it to sync to iTunes. Though the eFizz has no real body controls to speak of, it’s easy to scroll through the actual iPod as it sits in the dock. What I would like to see most of these travel docks are storage areas for the remote and power cord so there’s not so many loose pieces. Also of note is that while wireless, the eFizz will not charge your iPod.

Sound wise I was’nt super impressed. The max volume wasn’t all that loud and the speakers were a bit tinny. Not that they were bad, they just sounded really small, because they are. At low volumes everything sounded fine as long as it didn’t have to compete with any extraneous noise. There was a bit of volume muffling that wasn’t totally distracting but noticeable to say the least. By my bed I did enjoy the low volume as everything sounded clear and crisp.

What will make the eWoo eFizz Travel stand out amongst the hundreds of speaker docks will be its wireless capabilities, long battery charge, and extreme portability. While the sound won’t blow you away, it will be best heard at small gatherings and picnics, or by your bed. FYI, the iPig is still the loudest and best sounding speaker dock I have heard yet.

Pros:

* Very small and compact
* Wireless with extra long battery life
* Syncs with iTunes

Cons:

* Sound could be better given price
* Poor customer service “One Touch Info Button”
* Sporadic volume muffling

Ion Audio LP 2 CD

Last week or so I posted on the Denon DP-200USB, the LP 2 CD recorder seems a better fit for its target generation. At $150 more than the Denon, the Ion Audio LP 2 CD lets your burn your records straight to CD so you don’t have to futz with MP3 transfer if you don’t want to. For someone like my dad who is almost incapable of learning the most basic current technology but loves his old records, I think that the LP 2 CD is a much more streamlined approach and less learning intensive.

For those who aren’t so tech stunted, you can also do direct transfer to a Mac or PC via USB and it even has integrated software to help with hiss and pops inherent of worn vinyl. Available now for $399

TailGater iPod & Instrument Combo Speaker

As a “musician” the very first thing I questioned about the TailGater is whether or not it will sound good. Guitar amps are generally tailored for certain specific frequencies indicative of a guitar, bass, etc. They also are generally mono. So combining an instrument amplifier with an iPod speaker dock sounds weird to me. It could be a speaker system disguised as an amp though. What makes me think this is the internal battery inside the TailGater that can run up to 8 hours and has a level indicator. I think it would be difficult for a true guitar amplifier to power a guitar like that.

Especially if it can achieve high decibel levels. Anyway, the TailGater by Ion Audio has a rugged construction appeal to it and would look very appropriate in the back of an F150 at an Allman Brothers concert. It has a variety of inputs and even comes with a microphone for hollering drunken gibberish in the parking lot at some Nascar event. The specs don’t say whether or not you can have multiple inputs going simultaneously. I think that would be a huge feature for this product especially for a guitar player wanting to play over songs in order to learn them or practice soloing or whatever. I’ll try and get one for review and let you know how it sounds. Available now for $199

Ultrasone’s headphones – to hear is like to see

The latest headset that has drawn the most attention for buyers is German Ultrasone headphones. A unique super-qualitative and marvelous design represents general gadget’s great features. Exterior surface is covered with a ruthenium metal that makes the headphones looking smooth and shining. Except the attractive mirror base Ultrasone headphones hide not less attractive ear cups which coverage is perfectly dressed with Ethiopian sheepskin making them pleasant on a touch and wearing. The plugs are plated with the gold that doesn’t make this headset cheap – it will cost you 1500 USD.

A new built in S-Logic Plus technology developed by the Ultrasone Company assumes new decisions in a headset workings out. It supposes reproduction of natural sounds without any incoming noises and hindrances. Enhanced sound quality allow to the listener listening the music or other sounds with audio detail accuracy. Frequency possibilities fluctuate from 6 Hz to 42 kHz. This means that you’ll not get any of the sound distortion. Bringing you quality and comfort, Ultrasone headphones would be valuable for you not only in the sense of price. If you attempt to get pleasure separately in your own room, quite music and presence of Ultrasone headset will help you to achieve this high.

If you are still doubt in getting and using this device because of its not economical feature, I will tell you about one more interesting characteristic. S-Logic tech supposes also reducing 40% of unlikable sound pressure that sometimes irritates us. It is a great pass forward in the gadget’s development, considering that fact the other headphones worsen hearing by beating on the ear drums.

Making conclusions, I want to notice about the fact that Ultrasone headphones combine two really annoying things – elegant design and supplementing it high-quality features. Thus the Company risks taking the leading positions in the market and winning popularity between buyers. Definitely it is one of the best gadgets between headset devices.
