    Default Portable Speakers/Docking Stations/Wireless Speakers

    Looking for advice on portable speakers, or small speakers compatible with my iPhone and possibly my iPad because I have ditched my stereo in my entertainment stand because it's not compatible to either.

    Suggestions, thoughts? Does anyone have one?

    I just bought a sound bar for my TV that was Bluetooth compatible. So I just play my music through the sound bar. 400 watt set-up, so it MORE than fills the house when I crank it up. Cheaper than getting something for my TV AND my tunes.

    How big is it and how much did it cost?

    I looked at some about four months ago. The guy at Radio Shack said it had a tinny sound.

    Mine sits under a 60" tv, so I guess it's probably 40" long and about 2-3" high. It also has a wireless subwoofer that sits off to the side on the floor. You can break the bank with these things...or you can get something really shitty. I researched it for awhile and found the one I got for under $300. Finding the right price/wattage/quality combo was my priority and I am COMPLETELY satisfied with my choice.

    Here is the link to the one I have on the LG website. I got it almost a year ago, so I'm sure there are newer models or even better prices on this one.

    My son's friend has one and had it at the house once. It's not a bad sound...but for the same price or maybe a little more, you can definitely get something better.

    The sound bars all depend on how much you're willing to spend. Bose is awesome but pricey, rocketfish is cheap but garbage. About 400$ will get you a setup you enjoy and will last.

    Yeah...you just have to look at what is important. I suggest best combo of price/quality/wattage...but features is up there too. I love mine and got it for about 300. Might be cheaper now.

    I've used Bose in the past and have always liked them. Currently using a Sonos system. Very pleased with it but is wasn't cheap - same range as Bose.
    Some of those that work forces
    Are the same that burn crosses

    nothing is incompatible... you could have just connected an apple box to your stereo and used airplay to stream everything to it. There are other options but that one allows you to play everything from your ipad, ipod, iphone, apple tv including streams from youtube and other apps on your devices (not just the media stored on your device)

    Now if you dont mind setting something up for 20 minutes, get yourself a respberry pi for $35 and install xbmc and it will do the same thing without the annoying Apple nonsense. Plus everything will be controlled from your apple devices anywhere.

    I apologize, but I don't know what any of this means. Obviously, we must disagree on Apple products, because I bought them because I like using them.

    MO - what's your price range? Are you looking for something that will just play your music? Are you looking for a complete sound system as well (i.e. plays CD's and/or radio)?

    I'm not really sure. The sound bar idea is sounding more appealing to me. I haven't even looked in a store yet, though.

    A few months back, I looked at portable speakers, i.e., a pill and a couple of others that were at Radio Shack, but just wasn't sure.
