Re: Recommendation for speakers for the iPad
Huh?

Re: Recommendation for speakers for the iPad
Hi, I use the BeatBox, which one can obtain from SpeedDots. the dimensions are approximately 3inches. Although I don't have an iPad, I do use it with my ipHone and MacBook air. On the top face, there is a large round button to play/puase, and an up/down button for the volume controls and a right/left button to go back or to the next tract. The only downside with the speaker is that there is no indicator spoken for the battery level. I have been using it for a while and the sound is equal to the JamBox, but the price is about 1/2 of it. On the SpeedDots web page, you can sample the BeatBox performance. HTH. Eileen On Feb 6, 2014, at 8:12 AM, Steve pipeguy...@gmail.com wrote: Huh?

Re: Recommendation for speakers for the iPad
I will soon be getting a speaker called the UE Boom! I'm super excited about it! I tested a lot of speakers in an Apple store, (I know, not exactly the best environment to be doing that sort of thing in(, and that one sounded the best to me. Best of all, like it's little brother, the UE Mini Boom, with the help of an app, UE Boom or UE Mini Boom, respectively, with too speakers, you can have stereo sound! This is something I really wanted, and without having to use a non-portable docking station, which, I might add, itn't compatible with other platform. The UE Boom's retail price is200 U.S. dollars, while the Ue Mini Boom retails for 100 U.S. dollars. You can often find them for lower prices, though. They come in a Myriad of colors, as well. Personally, I think the sound of the Boom sounds better than the sound of the Mini Boom. I'm not sure if the iOS apps are universal, however. I'll have to check on that.

Re: Recommendation for speakers for the iPad
Once it's set up, you can. But by default, it cannot be activated as is the case with the big jam box. It has to be set up. That was the problem.

RE: Recommendation for speakers for the iPad
Hi Jordan, If you don't mind that they are wired you can save yourself a lot of money since most Bluetooth speakers are more expensive and of lesser sound quality unless you get into the $200 and up category. Anyhow, as for wired you could simply use any set of good quality powered computer speakers. If you have a stereo you could just connect your iPad to it with a 3.5mm Mal to RCA cable which you could plug into any input on your stereo amplifier or receiver except Phono (that was for the old turn tables).
