MyMac Magazine Reviews iFrogz Vibez Speaker System
04.01.08 - 10:01am
Rich Lefko from MyMac Magazine recently reviewed the iFrogz Vibez speaker system and gave it a MyMac rating of 4 out of 5. Rich described how the Vibez helped him out with a presentation he had to give.
“There I was, in the conference room setting up for a presentation. I needed sound for a clip within my Keynote presentation. They had one of those mounted overhead projectors all wired up with sound. I reached behind the Windows machine and unplugged the audio and video cables and plugged them into my MacBook. The video came up, but no sound. Beads of sweat formed on my brow as I tried in vain to get sound out of that system. The presentation was set to start in less than ten minutes and some early birds had already arrived. Read on to find out what I did.”
“So what happened at my conference? As I dug through my bag looking for another audio cable to try, I found the Vibez. I had dropped it in my case intending to put it through some sound trials. I fished it out and plugged it into the MacBook.
Anyone who owns a MacBook knows how weak the sound volume can be. So weak in fact, that using the MacBook speakers for sound, even in a small conference room like the one I was in, was out of the question. So I plugged the Vibez in and laid it on a table in front of the podium pointed towards the dozen people who had gathered.
I launched iTunes to do a sound check, and believe it or not, that little speaker was loud enough to be heard fairly well in the conference room. The folks in the room did have to be quiet, but they heard what I wanted them to hear. This probably would not have worked in a larger room, but fortunately it did work in this room.”
The iFrogz Vibez speaker system is available for $24.99. Vibez has a rechargeable battery (charged with the USB cable) and is very small for excellent portability.
