Tivoli Audio iYiYi (white) Reviewed

Tivoli-Audio-iYiYi.jpg

CNET have reviewed the Tivoli Audio iYiYi high-fi stereo system for iPod players. 'First we had the Wii, now we have the iYiYi. The first is a game console, the second is Tivoli Audio's latest iPod stereo system that includes and AM/FM clock radio. Aside from its unique name (pronounced "aye-yai-yai"), the system offers some key distinctions from Tivoli Audio's last iPod dock-equipped radio, the iSongBook: the iYiYi offers a sturdier one-piece design, and for compatible stations it displays information such as the station and the artist. Like the iSongBook, the iYiYi is available in white or black for $300.

One advantage of the iSongBook is that it can be stocked with six standard or rechargeable AA batteries for easy transportability. In contrast, while the comparatively beefy iYiYi is certainly movable--it's 7.36 inches high by 11.88 wide by 8.66 deep, and weighs 6.5 pounds--the AC-only system isn't designed for travel. That said, its power transformer is internal, so there's no big wall wart on the end of the power cord. It's also an all-in-one stereo unit, as opposed to the somewhat clumsy detachable speaker of the iSongBook.'

Features:
• Dual rear ported design for enhanced bass
• Rubberized knobs for non-slip grip
• Automatically-adjusting blue/white display
• Sensitive FM /AM tuner
• RDS displays real time radio station information (where available)
• 5 presets for FM and 5 for AM
• Auxiliary and mixing inputs for connection to CD player, TV, computer, game consoles, etc.
• Compact remote controls iYiYi and iPod functions
• Universal dock works with any iPod with docking connector (Seven dock adapters included)
• Recharges iPod when docked
• Digital Clock, Alarm, and Sleep timer
• Front panel stereo headphone jack
• Built-in FM antenna
