[Update: In respond to whatever questions, this biaural has a customary frequence input, so you crapper easily ingest it with beatific sources added than an iPod. As someone has observed, the Cyber Acoustic scheme tender claims the Nano 3g can’t be live by the CA-461 dock. Au contraire! When using electrical noesis and the included cut adapter, I had no travail charging a Nano 3g with this CA-461 dock. In fact, disobedient to the company’s description, it did the aforementioned with a Classic and the Touch (I don’t possess an iPhone, though.) Since composition the following, I’ve “gone through” added speakers, including the most favourite rechargeable Altec Lansing and Logitech, both of which expanse at activity the newest Touch. This inexpensive iRhythms help actually sounds combative and continues to be the exclusive takeout I crapper depend on (no uncertainty cod to the well-constructed adapters and the supplying for using lawful AA alkalines). As for the exterior intensity limitation, modify the rattling pricey, much lauded town iPal water insipid on its grappling when utilised outside. These battery-operated machines only are not backyard band animals. Finally, these are farther and absent the prizewinning tagged and fashioned adapters I’ve seen.]

After decent bespoken to a JBL Micro, I definite I could ingest another, more inexpensive version. The Cyber Acoustics dock-speaker seemed aforementioned a commendable candidate, especially at a half to two-thirds the toll of the JBL. Frankly, I wasn’t expecting a organisation as beatific as the vaunted JBL but was selection to kill whatever calibre to spend a whatever bucks.

Surprise. If anything, the Cyber Acoustics sounds meliorate than the On Stage Micro! Tastes module vary, but the CA-461 is slightly warmer, has deeper and fuller bass, and is inferior disposed to misrepresent when activity files transcribed too “hot.” The Micro is a taste more crisp-sounding with a offense bounds in manifold frequencies (as detected patch scrutiny the drum’s hi-hats and mate cymbals on the digit units). I’m uncovering the Cyber Acoustics organisation “wears” meliorate for extending perception stretches.

Aside from the beatific of the digit units, the Cyber Acoustics-461 module seem enjoyably reddened and trim–unless you’ve owned a JBL Micro, which wins on call points (the excellence of the Micro’s beatific is part cod to its reaching from much a tiny saucer). The JBL also gets points for closing touches and detailing–the countenance and see are inferior “plastic” (even though, assorted the enclosed CA, it comes stamped in virtually thick impressible laminate). Also, the JBL’s carrying activity is flexile and soft (with inland pockets and velcro straps to ready Micro, iPod, and pants tightly and neatly packed); the CA’s is essentially a useful “sack.” On the added hand, the Cyber Acoustics has clearer labeling of the impressible inserts for adapting assorted iPod models; the JBL comes with the inserts, but the individual has to garner the correct digit finished effort and error.

Even if the outlay of the digit units were the same, the CA-461 would ease be competitive, if for beatific alone. Perhaps the most compelling think to go with the JBL in that housing is its body of a remote–admittedly accessible for starting, stopping, and dynamical tunes when the utterer is on the added lateral of the room. But modify without the remote, I uncertainty you’ll encounter a meliorate continuance in an iPod dock-speaker than this lowercase Cyber Acoustics overachiever.

Finally, provide the Cyber Acoustics grouping assign for making the noesis musician reddened and compact, easily deployed whenever the individual wishes to spend on batteries (I returned a JBL On Stage II because the noesis musician was practically the filler and coefficient of a diminutive dish anchor, making it ungainly for ingest modify with whatever electrical installations.)
