Our Verdict
Like previous Logic 3 speaker systems, the iStation Traveller stands out not necessarily because it offers superior performance or features compared to other systems on the market, but because it’s a good combination of small size, good sound quality, and a reasonable price. With a few tweaks, its video-viewing feature would be ideal for a desk or airline tray table; however, the current viewing angle is a bit awkward. And if you don’t plan on watching video at all, consider the original i-Station Traveller, instead; although its sound quality is a bit more “tinny,” it’s half the price and about half the size.–Dan Frakes
