Rechargeable Battery Take your music anywhere thanks to the iP46's rechargeable battery. Simply plug into an AC outlet to charge up--a charge indicator on top of the speakers will glow when it's ready.
Fold It Up The iP46 boasts a folding support and stand, along with the retracting iPod dock, to make it ultra-portable.
SRS TruBass iHome utilizes DSP (digital sound processing) technology to give your music extra bass and clarity. SRS TruBass uses harmonics to make the bass from small speakers deeper and richer, so you get a more dynamic bass sound when you switch it on.
Reson8 Speaker Chambers The iP46 utilizes Reson8 speaker chambers. Reson8 is iHome's through-body ported speaker chamber technology. Porting speakers gives better bass response characteristics, and helps the iP46 deliver sound beyond its size.

Great sound for a unit this size.....,

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Took all of several minutes to unpack, plug in and turn on, sound is really very good for something this small and construction is solid.
Fold out legs stabilize unit in an upright position and feel good and sturdy as you unfold them as they are metal and NOT plastic as you would expect. The speaker grills are also metal giving this a little "heft" to it.
Volume can be raised to a level that is too loud for being next to it, always great not to need full volume to even hear the music properly.
The iP46 design seems geared more toward the newer,thinner iPods & iPhones, I'm using a thicker 4th generation iPod

Very nice little box to put your iPhone in or iPod touch, to listen to music, etc. The sound quality is surprisingly rich for such a small device and it sounds excellent. The weight of the device and its length make it difficult to transport as an everyday or all the time deal, but for a game or a small party (a spontaneous one) it works great. If you need to give some sort of presentation or lecture with audio then this thing will certainly fit the bill.
When I first took it out of the box, the power came on, but nothing was happening. I finally reset the device (small recessed button on back near power plug) and the poof! It started charging and playing. So if you get one and have difficulty getting it going , then try the reset.
I am using it right now with an iPhone 4, it is charging and playing ... :)

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Some would say I have too many iPod/iPhone docks, but I don't see it that way. Each one is best suited for a specific room or device and I use them all often; this one for example has made it's way to my office desk. Between the size, style and sound it was the perfect choice. While I do have some complaints about this system, I still feel it's worthy of 4 stars.
Pros:
~ Very Compact; I don't have much extra space on my desk, but it was easy to find enough room for this even with the legs turned out for stability.
~ Sound quality comparable to my Altec Lansing IMT320 inMotion Compact iPod Speaker System, with very little distortion at higher volumes.
~ Rechargeable battery for on-the-go use. I initially charged mine for 5 hours and I have already used it for 4 1/2 without needing to recharge.
