    CNET Review

    November 14, 2007

    The Good: Truly wireless speaker system with iPod dock; speakers utilize recharging lithium ion batteries for cable-free operation; RF wireless transmission for speakers and remote works through walls and over long distances; movable speakers enables excellent stereo separation; high-style design; line-in for external audio sources.

    The Bad: Speaker batteries aren't replaceable; speakers lack convincing bass, and sound quality deteriorates at higher volumes; video output only works for fifth-gen iPods; remote offers only basic controls, so you'll have to return to the base station to access the iPod; no AM/FM radio, clock, or alarm.

    The Bottom Line: The iPod-friendly Griffin Evolve is the first wireless speaker system that delivers a truly cable-free experience.

    Review Summary: We're not excited by the Evolve's features in general, but they're adequate, and we are definitely excited by the wireless speakers. If room-to-room portability overrides a more fully featured remote control, or clock and radio functions, or ...

    Review Summary: So in summary, has music evolved? It has certainly taken the first steps with such a simple approach. Beautifully crafted, the Griffin Evolve won't look out of place in your minimalist loft apartment, but you may find the sound doesn't match your ...
