Electric Friends Speaker Docking Station for iPhone hands-on
Before diving in, this isn’t going to appeal to a broad range of people, but for the few that have a soft spot for novel things, this might somehow make a fine addition to your home. Well, if you also have younger kids in the household, they’ll find the Electric Friends Speaker Docking Station for iPhone particularly entertaining – mainly because it’s disguised as one of four different cutesy looking animals. Priced at $69.99 apiece, it’s definitely one expensive investment for something that’s a speaker system at its core, however, part of its high price tag is attributed to the meticulous design of its cartoony like characters.
Specifically, the collection of speakers include Sing Sing the Panda, Chew Chew the Dog, Ki Ki the Cat, and Kwack Kwack the Duck – in our case, we’re checking out the latter unit. With all four adorably design speakers, they feature the following:
- Two 5 watt speakers and two 40 mm full-range neodymium drivers produce room-filling sound
- Touch controls located on the ears adjust volume level
- Built-in charging dock for iPod or iPhone
- 3.5mm stereo auxiliary input to connect other audio devices
- Powered by included AC adapter or four AA batteries
- Compatible with iPhone (4/4S, 3GS/3G), iPod Touch, iPod Classic and iPod Nano (1st-6th generations)
So without further ado, here’s our hands-on of the Electric Friend Speaker Docking Station for iPhone.
