Macworld's Tivoli Audio iYiYi Coverage

  • Review: Tivoli Audio iYiYi If you can get past its odd name, Tivoli Audio’s iYiYi is one of the better desktop iPod speaker systems we’ve tested. Even though it doesn’t match the sound quality of the best systems in its class, the iYiYi sounds quite good and provides an extensive set of features, stellar FM reception, and an impressive remote. It’s worth considering if your budget extends to the $300 range.
