Stylish look. Plenty of input options. Works off battery power. Good LCD display.
Audio interference issues loud hiss. Small buttons interfere with control. No button lights. Large and heavy when loaded with batteries. No EQ options. Only one button for presets. Not compatible with older iPods.

Many connectivity options; dedicated subwoofer; included Bluetooth adapter; can work on battery power.
Controls could be friendlier; speakerphone feature is sub-par; audio interference when iPod is docked.

iPod speaker with built-in subwoofer; streams wireless audio from Bluetooth sources; FM radio with 20 presets; good sound quality.
Lacks CD, USB port, alarms, and video-out options found on earlier, more affordable model; major battery requirements for portable use; shoddy speakerphone performance; tacky rhythm-sensitive LED lights; slight speaker buzz when iPod is connected.
While the iLuv i399 is still a solid-sounding iPod speaker dock, we wish it had held on to some of the features the made the previous model such an excellent value. Price range: $181.19 - $249.99
