Macworld's mStation 2.1 Stereo Orb Coverage

  • Review: mStation 2.1 Stereo Orb Although you can get better sound quality at lower prices from a few non-iPod-specific sub/sat speaker systems—specifically, I was a bit disappointed by the Orb’s treble detail—the Orb offers a good feature set, is well-made, and produces generally good sound.
