Review: Griffin Evolve Wireless Sound System for iPod - CNET

A review of the Griffin Evolve wireless speaker system for Apple iPod media players has been posted over at CNET. 'The Evolve's base station controls are limited to power, volume, and the stereo/mono switch mentioned previously. You'll want to use the included remote instead--the clicker uses the same sort of RF communication (not infrared) as the speakers, so it works at the same distances from the base station. Unfortunately, it offers only basic controls: power, volume, track up/down, shuffle and repeat. (There's also an EQ option, though that didn't seem to work with any of the iPods we tried.) If you want to navigate to another album, playlist, or artist, you've got to return to the base station and dial up your selection on the iPod itself. That's an annoyance that's shared by nearly all other iPod speakers, but the fact that the base station may be several rooms away makes it all the more acute. In a perfect world, we'd love to see Griffin adopt a screened remote similar to that of the Chestnut Hill George or the Keyspan TuneView, that allows nearly complete control of the iPod.'
