How good are ipods anyway?
When I started this venture I had a couple of mp3 players and a portable cd player, as did Hubert.
We primarily bought a new video ipod each just to make sure the prototypes were working.
I must admit that I am a convert, especially with a docking system and remote - the ipod travels everywhere with me now, and I have it filled up with lots of songs.
The big benefit is being able to move rooms, taking your ipod with you - and just being able to dock in the new room and carry on listening to the same piece of music with minimal hassle.
This especially works well for me in the kitchen - where previously I found that my previous music player was not the best, or getting the right music at the right time was always a hassle - looking for cds etc means going to different rooms or giving up precious shelf space.
One of the difficulties anyone has in deciding which sort of speaker system to bring out is the balance between sound quality (and probably a sub woofer) and portability. Our first model does need a plug, doesn't take batteries, but the sound is superb.
We have played around with smaller speakers, but the quality is not as good.
If you have paid £150 + for a good mp3 player do you want good quality speakers?
Hopefully we have managed a good compromise in the Sonic Soundscape, but Hubert is already getting ready for other models, possibly more portable, possibly larger. If you have any comments - do let us know.
