Review: Mi-Dockspeakers miSoccer iPod speaker
While audiophiles should look elsewhere, the miSoccer iPod speaker is surprisingly good (with a little tweaking).
Review: MailTones for iPhone
Most users who utilize -- or at the very least monitor -- their e-mail on the iPhone or iPod touch will likely find this audio e-mail notification app quite useful.
Review roundup: Bluetooth speakers
Bluetooth speakers let you stream music from your iPhone, iPod touch, or Mac, and can even act as a Bluetooth speakerphone. We took a look at five Bluetooth speaker systems to see how each fares.
Review: Logitech S315i iPod speaker
Logitech's S315i rechargeable iPod speaker provides good sound, but lacks a remote and is a bit expensive.
Review: Logitech Pure-Fi Anytime
Logitech's Pure-Fi Anytime alarm clock with iPod dock turns out to be pretty good at nearly all of its functions, even if there we have a few quibbles here and there.
Review: Roth Audio Alfie
The Alfie looks pretty, but its high price tag is more a function of its multi-purpose nature than its sound quality.
Review: Crystal Audio Video SSB-1 surround sound bar
The Crystal Audio Video SSB-1 surround sound bar is a good-sounding speaker set, but its virtual surround-sound feature doesn't live up to its promise.
Review: Cygnett Maestro iPod speaker dock
Average looks aside, the Maestro produces decent audio reproduction from a speaker dock that won’t offend the ears, or for that matter the eyes.
Review: iHome Audio iP1 iPod speaker dock
The iP1 is visually striking, and its digital enhancement of compressed music is helpful with some genres. But there are other speaker docks that produce a more natural sound.
Review: Razer Mako speakers
Razer's Mako isn't the most accurate system out there, but its quite impressive thanks to good overall sound, killer bass, a bunch of useful features, and a unique design.
Review: Harman Kardon SoundSticks II speakers
Long after it original release, Harman Kardon's SoundSticks II remains a standout speaker system. While missing many features found on other computer speakers, the SoundSticks II offers very good sound and an eye-catching design for a reasonable price.
Review: Altec Lansing Expressionist Plus (FX3021) speakers
Altec Lansing's affordable Expressionist Plus gives you a 2.1 speaker system that provides decent performance, an impressive-for-the-money design, and some nice features.
Review: Edifier E3350 computer speakers
Edifier's E3350 offers an eye-catching design and a nice set of features, but its sound quality reminds you that it's still a budget system.
Review: M-Audio Studiophile AV 40
If you've got room on your desk (or bookshelf), the AV 40 is an excellent set of compact studio monitors that out-performs the traditional 2.0 computer speakers we've tested, and even bests many 2.1 systems when it comes to overall sound quality.
Review: JBL Duet II
JBL's Duet II can't pump out loads of bass or volume, and don't have many options, but if you want detailed audio without giving up much desk space, the Duet II is worth a look.
Review: Creative GigaWorks T40 Series II
Creative's top-of-the-line 2.0 speaker system offers good sound quality, attractive appearance, and varied listening options.
Review: Orbitsound T6 iPod speaker
Orbitsound’s approach to stereo is refreshing and the T6 is a lovely sounding unit.
Review: Music Library Quiz for iPhone
Think of Music Library Quiz as a version of the old built-in iPod game Music Quiz. The game is a fun way to test your knowledge of your music library, and a recent update has things humming along.
Review: Altec Lansing Expressionist Bass (FX3022)
Like its smaller sibling, Altec Lansing's Expressionist Bass speaker system offers a unique design; but it also gives you noticeably better sound quality and much more bass output -- at times too much.
Altec Lansing Expressionist Classic (FX2020)
Altec Lansing's Expressionist Classic speaker system offers a unique design and better audio than your Mac's stock speakers, although you can find better sound for the money.
Philips Docking Entertainment System DCP851/37
While the DCP851 can serve as a decent external speaker system for your iPod, its video functions and design don't match those of its predecessor.

There are times when you don’t want to don your headphones, and you want your music (or audiobook, podcast, recorded lecture, etc.) fill the air in your general vicinity. For that, you need a mini speaker.

Review: DLO iBoom Home
DLO's iBoom Home is a compact alarm clock that offers solid audio and connectivity options, but falls down a bit on the alarm clock end of the deal.
Review: Focal XS iPod/computer speaker system
Focal's XS is high-performance audio system that works with both iPods and your computer's digital-audio signal. Although it's expensive, you're paying for that flexibility as well as an attractive, iMac-matching design.
Review: Altec Lansing Moondance Glow
The Altec Lansing Moondance Glow is a slick-looking iPod-compatible alarm clock with a good number of features, but its controls value style over usability.
Review: Showtimes 2.0 for iPhone
Showtimes makes it easy to find a movie playing nearby, wherever you—and your iPhone or iPod touch—happen to be.
Review: iLuv i399
The iLuv i399 is an iPod speaker system that wears many hats; unfortunately, not all of them fit very well.
Review: Boston Acoustics Duo-i
If you've got room on your nightstand or desk, the chunky Duo-i is an impressive iPod clock radio.
Review: iHome iP99
