The good: Think Outside's Boomtube H201 features a slick, eye-catching design and an internal, rechargeable battery for use on the go.

The bad: The pricey Think Outside Boomtube H201 offers so-so bass response, and there's no holder or slot for portable music players.

The bottom line: The overall design of Think Outside's Boomtube H201 might be unique--even cool--but we could have done with a bit more boom.

Editors' Note: The rating on this review has been lowered from 7.0 to 6.7 due to changes in the competitive marketplace.

If Think Outside's Boomtube H2O1 looks familiar, you may have been paying attention when Virgin Electronics was still around: The H2O1 is actually the acquired version of the Boomtube EX. Think Outside purchased the design when Virgin Electronics was dissolved, and that design is enticing indeed. Your musically inclined buddies will drool when you set up the silver, eye-catching Boomtube, but their faces might fall as their ears strain for the promised heart-stopping bass. A thick, heavy metal tube with remote speakers that unscrew from either end, the 'Tube is certainly unique; unfortunately, we could have done with a bit more boom, a cleaner cable setup, and a discount on the steep $200 price tag.
