I recently had the opportunity to test out this TDK Boombox and let me say that it is perfect for anybody looking for a high-quality speaker system that is compatible with pretty much all music devices. Unlike your standard iPod Dock the Speaker Boombox has a USB port that can recieve from not only iPods and iPhones but also any usb hard drive or data stick. It also has an instrument jack so you can doodle on your guitar without getting too loud. The volume does not get too high on this gadget so it is best for listening at home alone. Not ideal for parties.
