Boomboxes

The Bottom Line: Buy it for looks, buy it for fun; but don't expect quality from the Lasonic i931.

Specs: Boombox, AM/FM, 24 Watt, Stereo, 13.9 lbs, LCD

The Bottom Line: While the iLuv i399 is still a solid-sounding iPod speaker dock, we wish it had held on to some of the features the made the previous model such an excellent value.

The Bottom Line: A boom box, such as the Philips AZ1330D, can have all the features in the world, but if it's hard to carry and it doesn't go boom, what's the point?

Specs: Boombox, AM/FM, 8 Watt, Stereo, 4.9 lbs, LCD

The Bottom Line: The impressive iLuv i199 provides a dizzying array of features--including iPod compatibility, CD player, AM/FM clock radio--you'll be hard-pressed to find on any other tabletop audio systems at this price.
