Gizmo review Gear4 Anrgy Birds table top audio system

        I have to admit when I first set eyes on this little audio dock I was skeptical. I know from experience that most gismos that are link to a big name like "Angry Birds" spend most of their money on marketing and very little on product design. But that has not been my experience this time around. These Angry Birds really sing! I sampled the Red bird for this review as I have a variety of devices to connect and only a IPad for Apple devices. There are three options available though including the Red bird, Black bird and a not so angry looking Pig. Each is equipped with two speakers roughly in the cheeks and a sub woofer at the bottom. Also each has a volume control and base control as well as a 3.5mm stereo audio input for connecting to the audio out of your device. The Black bird and Pig come with respective IPod docks as well. The Red bird includes a small device stand and dual 3.5mm connecting cable which served me well for testing as it allowed me to connect to the sound card output of my laptop as well as my Samsung phone and IPad's headphone out. In each case Red produced lively base and excellent highs for its small size. Its a great little sound system for a tabletop Netflix setup with a tablet or for a quick little upgrade for your laptops sound at your desk. The feel and finish is very good and in its eye catching red its sure to be spotted where ever it lands.
