The world’s not short of iPod docks. Whatever your budget, whatever your space, there’s sure to be a few products competing for your hard-earned. Logitech has been more successful than most at marrying decent performance to eye-catching prices, and its Audiostation Express is another one off the middle of the bat.
Built for outdoors use
Bundled with a protective case and able to run off batteries as well as mains power, the Express is clearly targeted at those who enjoy an outdoor tune or two.
There’s no charging loop in the unit, though, so you’ll rely on regular alkaline batteries (six AAs, in fact) to provide the juice – Logitech claims up to ten hours playback time. Don’t forget to pack plenty of spares if you’re going away for any length of time.
Big means beautiful sound
Its dimensions aren’t the smallest, further limiting its attractiveness as a portable option, but the relative bulk means the Audiostation Express scores comprehensively where it counts: compared to virtually every similarly priced rival, the Logitech serves up greater bass reach and solidity.
Reviews
1 - I had previously had the Logic 3 (7) and had sent 2 back as I thought they were faulty - but since realised they were just poor quality. The sound distorted at low volumes and when the music was very quiet (especially classical music) the machine kept turning itself off! So after 2 I decided a different machine was in order. I looked at various makes and after reading lots of reviews decided on the LOGITECH - it is excellent. It arrived really quickly and was very easy to set up and use. The plug is pretty small - compared to the Logic 3 brick! The sound is really good at both low and high volumes. I had to tweak the I-pod equalizer to get a bit more bass - but this was quick and easy to do. It is quite chunky, but very light and comes with a protective case - not sure if I would pack it in my suitcase though. I am really really pleased with the LOGITECH and would highly recommend it as offers excellent value for money and the sound quality is great.
2 - Aesthetically it’s very nice. The unit is sleek and in fitting with the style of the ipod. Most importantly, the sound. I found that it was a little too much bass. There are no EQ settings on the speakers themselves, however, by using the EQ on my Ipod I’ve found it much better. Otherwise, the audio clarity is very good, I’ve not noticed any distortion at high levels, so despite the portable nature of the speakers, they have some punch behind them. Overall, for the price, it’s a good set of speakers for the ipod.
