Logitech Rechargeable Speaker S715i

Here at the NDTV Gadgets lab we've had a steady stream of iPod docks coming our way for review. We're not complaining though. This time round, we have the Logitech Rechargeable Speaker S715i. We have to say this has to be the most boring name in the history of boring names for gadgets.

Logitech are no design gurus and most of their products are as bland as they get and the same holds true for the Rechargeable Speaker S715i. The rugged black finish underscores the blandness of the design but, at only 1.5 pounds, it is definitely portable.

The speakers are quite wide which would definitely improve the stereo separation but, as a whole, the façade is reminiscent of the front grill of a sports car. Maybe a Chevy Corvette!

On the rear end of the dock we get a kickstand,which frankly feels a tad flimsy, and is quite unstable. The auxiliary port is also housed in the rear, which has a rubberized cover along side the power outlet. Notably there are twin backwards-firing radiators, which act like mid-range, drivers for an added bass thump.

The front end of the dock houses the 3-inch neodymium drivers and a pair of half-inch neodymium tweeters. We also get another pair of radiators on the front. All in all we have 8 drivers to push up the sound.
