iLuv Portable Speaker for MP3 Players and iPods

You’d like to take your tunes with you, but headphones don’t always cut it. Have you ever shared a pair of headphones with a friend? It’s not very effective — kind of awkward. If you’re in the market for a portable stereo speaker system, the iLuv ISP100 deserves a good look.

The iLuv ISP100 comes with what the manufacturer calls “jAura Acoustic Speaker Technology” which when paired with the 2W 360-degree stereo speakers offers competitive sound quality for this price range. The standard 3.5mm input will allow you to connect it to almost any MP3 player. It also features a power indicator light which lets you know how much life you have left in the 3x AAA batteries.

Unlike other “portable” speaker systems, this one is actually compact.
It easily fits into your glove compartment, backpack or purse. The sleek design is very eye-catching and the AUX cable conveniently wraps around the back cover to prevent it from getting tangled in your bag.

I would have preferred a built-in battery to eliminate the need to open the back cover and pop out your rechargeables. Also, the power button protrudes from the device making turning the unit on accidentally in your pocket very easy. However, with an MSRP around $34, it’s still definitely a good bargain, and offers quality and features most of the competition is lacking.
