ZiiSound D5: Wireless Docking Speaker System
June 28 2010, Published 6:33 a.m. ET
Wires are so old school. Years from now we’ll look back and laugh that we had to wire speakers to an audio source. But the future is today for Creative Sound Labs with the band-new Zii Sound, a premium docking system that works with your iPhone and any Bluetooth device, including Desktop PC, Laptop and Mobile devices.
Listen to your favorite playlists from anywhere in the room and effortlessly control the volume with your iPhone. The Zii sounds better than most home stereo systems so is worth the $299.
Creative took their superior Inspire S2 speakers and ported them over to the one –piece ZiiSound which is as sleek in design as the audiophile-like performance . With its neat contemporary design, encased in a silky black mesh cloth, the ZiiSound D5 looks good anywhere and doesn’t have a big footprint so it also fits anywhere. The glossy black edges and centre piece are striking but keep your fingers off the mesh as it can grab lint.
There’s an integrated bass port at the rear allows you so you get the pounding bass, without the need for a separate subwoofer.
Conveniently, you can charge your phone or iPod by docking it in the system.
And not to worry, even if your computer doesn’t have Bluetooth built –in you can buy the Creative BT-D1 Bluetooth USB transmitter (sold separately). It pairs with the ZiiSound D5 in mere seconds and also works with the Inspire S2 Wireless speaker system.
