The Saitek iPhonic, pocket sized speaker system is a wonderfully flexible gizmo that hooks up to your MP3 player, mobile or laptop.
I can vouch for the fact that the sound quality is excellent. It’s unique shape maximises bass and minimizes distortion to give you big sound from a stereo speaker that’s so small it will fit in your pocket. It’s genuinely surprising how such a small speaker can produce this kind of sound quality.
The operation of the iPhonic is dead simple. Activated by inserting the headphone jack and volume is controlled by the device you are connecting.
