I’m usually very good about turning around reviews; usually within a week or two of receiving a review device or accessory I’ve had a chance to try it out, take photos, and write it up. But there are two things that have been sitting in my office unopened for a few months, and I finally decided to get going on them. One item is a Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 that I’ll be writing up shortly now that the weather in Colorado is cooperating (except for the winter storm hitting tomorrow…), but today’s focus is on what’s in the big box in the corner of my office — the Behringer iNuke Boom Junior iPod/iPhone speaker dock.
Sometimes procrastination is a good thing. I found out pretty quickly while starting to do research for this review that Behringer is no longer making this speaker dock, which was designed to be an affordable mini version of the 10,000-watt, 700 pound, US$30,000 monster that made a splash at CES 2012. The company gave away a bunch of these smaller speaker docks last autumn with a promotion with the one reseller for the product, Costco.
Since the iNuke Boom Junior is no longer in production, I’m not going to write a review. Instead, we’re going straight to the giveaway. Here are the features of the iNuke Boom Junior:
Three-Way Active Design – Stunning concert-quality sound at home
Integrated Subwoofer – Powerful, Deep Lows without Distortion
Made for iPod, iPhone and iPad – Dock to play or charge your device
Auxiliary Audio Input – Works with Android devices and other music players
Wireless Remote Control – Controls audio and most iOS devices
Master Volume and Bass Contour controls – Tailor the sound to your liking
Video Output Connection – Play movies right from your Apple devices to TV
Compatible with iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G, iPod Touch, iPod Nano, iPod Classic, iPad and any Android(R) phone or music player with 1/8″ (3.5mm) headphone output
I was able to test the iNuke Boom Junior with an iPhone 5 using an Apple Lightning to 30-pin adapter ($29, not included), and it worked fine. There’s a small Lucite prop that holds up the iPhone 5, but I would not recommend trying a 4th-generation iPad on the adapter as it’s just too unwieldy. An iPad mini worked just fine with the adapter.
The sound on this thing is great! Seriously, the built-in subwoofer really does produce quite the boom if you’re listening to music with a lot of bass. Surprisingly, though, it also handles the treble end quite well and was perfect for listening to the broad freqency and dynamic range of classical music.
And with that short description of the iNuke Boom Junior, it’s now time to give this unique device to one of our readers. Here are the rules for the giveaway:
