One never knows what to expect when a company invites evaluation of the product they produce. I suppose they think that, for the money, their product can’t be beat. Well, guess what? There are lots of products out there which can be beat, easily, especially "for the money." I don’t know why some companies even bother putting out a product at all except for the fact that not everyone knows a good "widget" from a bad one. However, in our estimation, the Axiom Audiobyte Computer Speakers will stand with any home or professional speakers in their class.

Sabre Femme and Homme iPod Speaker
Review
If you can pick one up (guy or gal model) for around $60, you’ll like its sound-per-dollar. Black is probably a better choice for most MyMac readers.
iH24D Deluxe Table AM/FM iPod Speaker – Review
There is a place for high-end quality audio. There is also a place for inexpensive audio. Somewhere in the middle there is a sweet spot for most iPod music lovers, and the iHome iH24D Deluxe speaker fits right there.
2.1 Stereo Tower – Review
Bass booms. Treble blares. TOWER ROCKS POP MUSIC, and delivers other genres with presence and clarity.
The Ladybug Cometh
Review
I gotta tell you right now I was sure I wasn’t going to like this. Too small. Gimmicky. Looks like all plastic. Bass woofer in the rear??? Ha! I wasn’t impressed, yet, with the fact that this product won the CES Innovations Design and Engineering Award in November.
Aego-M Speaker System
Review
The Aego-M’s are marketed as an iPod speaker system, but to think of it as just that is to sell its capabilities short, in my opinion. They will well serve any audio source, be it an MP3 player, computer or a more conventional music source such as a CD player.
Bowers & Wilkins ZEPPELIN iPod Speaker
Due to Zeppelin’s remarkable quality, style, and price, MyMac.com conducted two separate interviews. The first was a live audio conversation with industrial designer Morten Warren, which is part of MyMac.com Podcast #154. The second begins below our review, in a written Q & A with company representative Greg Williams.
TunePro Flat Panel Stereo Speaker, AM/FM Clock Radio, and iPod Charger
Review
TunePro’s speaker design is a technological phenomenon, and the SRS WOW definitely enhances all audio output.
ORB mStation iPod Speaker
Review
mStation spared no expense with Orb’s clever, qualitiative design and construction. When you open its package you are greeted with an innovative product that should deliver reliable audio and docking for years to come.
LaCie FireWire Speakers
Review
Every computer I have ever owned had an audio output port, and so far, I have not had reason to dislike the audio coming from it. I wanted to know why I needed these Firewire connected speakers over the USB flavor.
iN STUDIO 5.0 – iPod Speaker
Review
For the size and convenience of these speakers, and the associated cost, along with, for the most part, excellent sound quality, I think they’re worth every penny. No, they’re not cheap. But neither is the sound.

Review
Most of the time in most situations, this unusual one-piece speaker is very good at doing what it’s supposed to do: provide a pleasant, portable listening environment.
i.Sound Concert To Go
Review
I’ve been using C2Go as my full-time audio playback system for a month, and I’m very impressed. Music quality, volume, and tone are consistently excellent. When not attached to my docked iPod, C2Go has a cable AUX (auxiliary) connection to my G5 tower. In a word, music sounds great.

Review
My ears and nerves were stunned for a few minutes afterward, but there was no subsequent distortion or damage to either Resolv 50a unit.
Read MoreMicroSound Speaker
Review
Based on the size of the speaker, the fact that it runs on 1 AAA battery, and my past experience with small battery operated speakers my expectations were not high. To my surprise, the MicroSound performed much better than expected. I could not believe how loud such a little speaker can get.
MP300 Portable Multimedia 2.1 Speaker
Review
Radiient Speakers
Review
Every once in while I come across a new product or company that I think is doing some very cool stuff, and feel the need to talk about them. Radiient is one of these, and while not a Macintosh product, I felt a review of their new speakers was in order here, as their target audience is very similar to Mac users. Basically, people who can appreciate high quality start-of-the-art products.

Review
The i-deck is capable of delivering house-filling audio when cranked up all the way, and provided the source audio is clean and well-encoded, distortion does not appear even at the top of the range.
TuneBox
Review
Chad Perry (of MyMac Podcast fame) takes a look at the new TuneBox from Griffin Technology for the iPod Shuffle. A small speaker system, we look what it is, and what it could have been.
