ACCESSORY GUIDE IPAD 2 BUYERS’ GUIDE iPad-Ready Speakers Three types of speakers are now available for Apple’s iPads: docking speakers, purely wireless speakers, and speakers with both docking and wireless options. Some work only with the first-generation iPad - with revisions on the way for the iPad 2 - and some work equally well with both. Here’s what’s available. DOCKING SPEAKERS iHome iD9 Affordable, compact, and attractively designed, iHome’s iD9 is a perfect visual match for the original iPad: glossy black plastic on an iPad-sized dock, capable of accommodating bare or encased iPads, plus silver plastic that could easily pass for aluminum from a foot or so away. Bundled with a wall charger and loaded with a 4.5-hour rechargeable battery, iD9 has two speakers that fire out from its sides, producing treble- and midrange-focused sound that sounds good even at high volumes. It’s the best budget speaker for iPad, and an iPad 2 adapter’s coming. $100 Altec Octiv Stage Nicer than Jensen’s Rocker but also pricier, Octiv Stage’s rotating, height-adjustable dock also works only with bare iPad 1s, and includes an Infrared remote. It’s stable, and has more balanced sound. $150 Jensen Rocker Designed around a really smart concept - a speaker with near-total flexibility - Jensen’s Rocker has a heightadjusting central arm with a rotating dock for the original iPad. Twin speakers in the base provide midrange-focused audio that’s far louder than what the iPad puts out on its own, and an IR remote controls Rocker from afar. But it’s not very stable, and only accommodates bare original iPads. $100 JBL OnBeat Compatible with iPods and iPhones, too, OnBeat has a central dock that only works with upright iPads and iPad 2s; it won’t rotate. The sound’s cleaner than Octiv Stage, but less bassy. A remote is included. $150 96
IPAD 2 BUYERS’ GUIDE Aliph Jawbone Jambox Pricey but neat, Jambox is a tiny Bluetooth speaker in four colors. Rubber on the top and bottom, it has three drivers for surprisingly powerful sound, plus a mic and case, running for around 10 hours per charge. $200 SoundMatters foxL V2.2 ACCESSORY GUIDE Similar inside to the Jambox, foxL V2.2 is a little smaller and feels more solid; at normal volumes, it beats Jambox with more dynamic, lively sound, but struggles more at louder volumes where Aliph has the edge. It’s packaged with a hand strap, international wall charger, and carrying case, promising five hours of continuous run time, and has a decent mic, too. $199 PURELY WIRELESS SPEAKERS iHome iDM12 Inexpensive by good Bluetooth wireless speaker standards, the pill-shaped iDM12 works with bare iPads and iPad 2s, including midrange-focused sound, a stand, and a 4.5-hour battery. $70 Altec Lansing inMotion Air For the same price as Jambox and foxL V2.2, Altec’s inMotion Air offers iPad users a lot more: Bluetooth wireless streaming at 100-foot distances, plus sound that’s louder, clearer, and with superior dynamic range. While it’s much larger, it has a 7-hour rechargeable battery, and includes a dongle for enhanced audio quality with computers. $200 Creative D100 + D200 Bluetooth Speakers Incredibly affordable for a wireless speaker of its size, D100 ($80) delivers strong, full-bodied sound with the option to use wall power or four AA batteries for portable playback. D200 ($130) is bigger and fancier, with clearer and wider-frequency audio, but loses portability. Great prices, but long-term reliability may be an issue. $80+ 97
