Best iPod speaker system out there (at any price!).......2007-07-06
First, let me just say that I never write reviews, but I was so amazed with this product that I just had to let people know.
I was trying to decide between the Bose Soundwave ($300) and the Klipsch ($170). Just wanted a good sounding, small player for the iPod. I tried them in the store and they both sound decent, maybe the Klipsch is a little warmer and fuller. But my wife wouldn't let me spend that kind of money.
Did my research and took a chance on the Specktone Retro II. Major selling points for me were:
1. Wood speaker cabinet (the Bose is plastic!)
2. Cool style (I honestly like the Klipch style a little better, but whatever)
3. Price (with shipping it was under $70)
I am blown away by how deep and rich the sound is. I'm a snob when it comes to this sort of thing. I only put AIFF files on my 80Gb iPod, because MP3 compression makes me cringe.
Out of the box, you can tell the SpeckTone is well manufactured and desgined. The remote is small and uses a watch battery. The system has a speaker underneath as well, which serves up the low end (something that all other systems in the under $150 range lack).
I tested it out with X's "Los Angeles". Bass was too much. Changed the EQ setting on the iPod and it's just great, better than the Bose or the Klipsch!
Don't let the low price-point fool you, the SpeckTone Retro II is the bestiPod speaker system available today!

Enjoy a cool, crisp sound while adding to your bedroom's laid-back feel with the SpeckTone Retro iPod speaker system from Speck Products. The system's primary appeal stems from its sleek and stylish mod design, which consists of a high-gloss lacquered white wood cabinet, a backlit "green glow" volume knob, and a housing that looks straight out of a '50s hipster catalog. But there's far more to the Retro system than looks, as it also includes a built-in iPod docking station that accepts virtually all "dockable" iPods, including the iPod 4G, iPod video, iPod photo, iPod mini, and iPod nano. As a result, you can charge and play your iPod at the same time. The system's auxiliary input, meanwhile, works with older iPods and other digital media players, including personal CD players, MP3 players, and any other device with a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
Audio-wise, the Retro boasts analog circuitry, a pair of 3-inch drivers, and a 4-inch bottom subwoofer that combine to deliver a rich, dynamic sound with uncompromising quality. Other details include the ability to accommodate many iPod protective cases, a total power output of 28 watts, and a set of angled legs with soft rubber strips to prevent slipping. An ideal tabletop system for the bedroom, office, or kitchen, the SpeckTone Retro measures 14 by 5 by 6.5 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a 90- day warranty.
What's in the Box
SpeckTone Retro speaker system, AC adapter, two matching skins (for iPod video and nano), black foam spacer, warranty card, user's manual.

Pathetic for the price.......2007-10-09
I bought this about a year ago and it didn't even last me the year. A couple months into using it, I noticed that the sound of the music would vary depending on the position on the ipod while it was hooked into the radio. If you touched it or moved it a bit, you could hear static and whatnot. Sometimes it would have audio issues on it's own and I'd have to wiggle my ipod around and get it just right for the sound to sound normal. Songs with more bass cause the woofer to buzz as well as if it can't handle the frequency. Just tonight, the thing "died"; it doesn't play the music even though the ipod is playing through it. That's what caused me to hop on here and let everyone else know that this is a nice looking, but pretty crappy ipod player.
Love it but won't charge my ipod after 6 months.......2007-08-15
We were very impressed by the sound of this little radio - better than any of the other small, single units for the ipod. We got it for Christmas last year and as of July this year I noticed it will no longer charge my ipod. It's not my ipod since it will charge from other sources. So beware the 90 warranty. Soundwise, we are happy with it. Durability is still questionable.
Most Cool and Better Than Expected..........2007-01-04
I've been looking for some speakers for my iPod and ran across the Specktone Retro... Really liked the looks and took a chance on the sound... Got it 1/3/07 from the Apple Store... The one I got is a 'Specktone Retro 2', new model??? They did away with the big power brick, it's all inside now and simply comes with a power cord.... Also comes with a remote and no on/off switch in the back... No foam spacers, but plastic ipod holders in three sizes... Sound - I find it to be deep, full, big and pleasing to the ear... I like to listen to classic rock, blues, folk, bluegrass and audio books... The case besides looking cool, seems well built and it's wood... It does what it's supposed to do and looks good doing it.
