Logic3 JiveBox

The basics

Logic3 JiveBox are iPod speakers manufactured and designed by Logic3. It has great sound quality, build, design, and good bass. The design is simple enough and it has a 135 mm Hi-X subwoofer, two 75 mm midrange drivers, and two 25 mm tweeters. The total dimensions are 180 x 180 x180 mm, and it comes in black.

The good

Put this cubic iPod dock in your lounge and it's like having the Ministry of Sound in your front room. It's hard to overstate the sheer ear-bleeding power of this 90 watt sonic blunderbuss, especially given its compact size. Equally surprising is how well the dinky iPod speaker handles and channels the noise. Where this really excels though is in its ability to spew out rich sounds that fill a room. Stick it in the corner (where it fits perfectly - it's a cube!) and the sub-woofer delivers the kind of knee-wobbling bass you'd expect from a much bigger system too, without overthrowing the balance.

The bad

Not much really. Our main, and only, gripe is the neon strip lighting - it's a little too Knight Rider for our liking.

The bottom line

Squeezing the volume up to the max on the JiveBox is the sonic equivalent of splitting an atom with velvet gloves - it's loud, but remarkably smooth. We like. A lot.
