A lot of travel speakers or portable docks are being launched in the market these days. The PYT from audio equipment specialists Voix is one of such products. This speaker system is not quite brilliant on the design front, but its square design permits you to rotate it by almost 90 degrees in order to watch video in widescreen mode on your compatible player. The Voix PYT has been specifically designed for the iPhone, the iPod touch, and Nano G3. This statement is verified by the fact that only these models fit properly in the front compartment of the PYC through the supplied adaptor. You can use it with other devices like the newest generation iPod Video/Classic or the Mini. But you will find that you need to do a lot of fiddling with the base connector to connect your device and the base connector might get damaged in this case if you use too much force on it. So, purchase Voix PYT only if you own any of the iPhone, the iPod touch, and Nano G3.
The square design features four speakers that offer a total power of 7.5 Watts. The device houses controls for volume and power on/off on it top. You are supplied with a kickstand with the device that allows the device to be propped on the table. You can power the Voix PYT with DC power or 4 × AA batteries. The company also provides you with a 3.5mm adaptor cable in order to connect the speakers with other players through its auxiliary-in jack at its back.
The Voix PYT, being travel speakers, could have done a lot better had they been more ruggedised or at least solidly built with durable materials. These speakers are protected by just a thin leather-effect slip-on case. In case you use mains power on this set, your device will also get charged in the process. The sound quality from this speaker set is pretty reasonable but the bass is relatively low. The sound does not distort too much at its maximum volume and is loud enough to fill a room. A little bonus for you comes in the form of the ability to rotate the player by 90 degrees to enjoy widescreen video. The Voix PYT is available at a price of £39.99.
