Review

As a transportable system, the Zvox Mini may not be as convenient as iPod-specific solutions, some of which, have dedicated iPod cradles that keep your player safe during transit. However, it's only slightly less convenient than Apple's iPod Hi-Fi, which also requires you to carry your iPod and cables separately. And--in case it isn't obvious by now--it's really the iPod Hi-Fi against which the Mini should be compared: Both are one-piece speaker systems designed to work with multiple audio sources and replace a traditional bookshelf stereo. But the Mini is much smaller, lighter, and cheaper than the iPod Hi-Fi (especially if you factor in the cost of a carrying case ), while actually sounding better. If its design fits your lifestyle, the ZVOX Mini is highly recommended.--Dan Frakes
