mStation Orb: Your iPod's Crystal Ball

Have you ever, as a child, gazed longingly at the fortune-tellers in the movies, with their ever-faithful crystal balls, strolling around as if they have no care in the world?

Now, you have access to your iPod's perfect best buddy, its crystal ball, the Orb from mStation.

The biggest feature of this speaker system is unquestionably its shape. Uniquely designed, this device is about the size and shape of an average volleyball with a flat, rubber bottom to ensure it doesn't roll of your desk in the heat of the moment.

Weighing only six pounds, the mStation Orb provides the perfect combination of aesthetic appeal, portability and functionality.

The Orb is the apt example of many goodies stuffed into a small box (or in this case, ball). Its aesthetics are definitely to die for, with docking stations available in six different colors across the spectrum.

Imagine being able to change your docking station to match your clothes, or purse or whatever else that you may be carrying!

The Orb also comes with a 3-inch subwoofer, dedicated to making the low bass frequencies clearer and your entire musical experience richer.

What more, if you are still unsatisfied with the bass sound of your speaker system, the Orb now comes with a subwoofer amplifier which has a 15W output and is sensitive to upto 320 mV of input. What more can you ask of a sound enhancing device?

The speakers themselves are strong, and despite the odd shape, sound wide apart and can fill a room with rocking tunes! The output is about 7.5 W per speaker, a respectable statistic for a device of this size.

Also, the music that plays from this player is not restricted to only your iPod. Though the device does not support the iPhone yet, it comes along with USB and stereo mini cables, allowing you to plug in music from wherever you've got it stored, whether it is your pen drive or computer!

We are always told that each of us is unique and special and the same applies for our music tastes as well! Now, the Orb allows you to adjust the bass and treble settings to your every whim and fancy!

These changes can be done using the remote control as well and though the device is very basic, it allows you to customize your music without moving from the couch!

The mStation Orb offers wonderful features, great sound and packaging that is a treat for the eye and yet, is still priced lower than its competitors.

At USD $129.95 – USD $150.00 with a one year warranty, this speaker system is your crystal ball, the future of music!
