Review

The iP46 has a subtle design to it with nice convenient portability and great sound. It plays loud enough to use at a desk or in your home and is light enough to take with you wherever you go. The iP46 has a 10 hour rechargeable battery, eliminating the need for trips to the store to buy more batteries.

Design:
Simple straight lines, form a block of sleek looking plastic and polished metal. It's very easy on the eyes and doesn't draw too much attention to itself.

It's easy to use with only basic controls. Two feet rotate out to prop it up and a dock clicks out and allows you to dock your iPhone.

Sound:
You will be happy with the sound. It's surprisingly good for a small speaker system, it gets louder than you would think it would. It has great clarity and comes with an SRS sound enhancing feature that works nicely.

Value:
This is priced around the same level or a little lower that other portable speakers of its size. It looks and sounds great, making it a good deal.

Summary
It's a great portable speaker system that works well on your desk, at home or wherever you want to take it. The rechargeable battery, great sound, and sleek design make this a good purchase.
