iLuv MobiAria NFC-enabled Bluetooth Speaker w/ USB Port

II got this at the same time as another speaker (XtremeMac Tango TRX Bluetooth 30-Pin iPod/iPhone/iPad Speaker Dock) - the two together cost me less than the retail price just of this speaker, I assume because these are a few seasons old, at this point. One speaker is going to stay at home and live in my bedroom; the other is headed for work. Each speaker has its own pros and cons. In the end, I decided to keep the iLuv MobiAria at home, and take the XtremeMac Tango to work. Here's why: - The sleek looks of iLuv MobiAria are right at home in my minimalist bedroom. The speaker is the personification of simple - a black rectangle with light-up touch controls, and that's it. You control the speaker from your phone. It's unobtrusive and blends nicely with my decor, sitting on the top shelf of a bookshelf. That makes it a better match with my home lifestyle than my office one. - The XtremeMac Tango has a remote and a built-in 30-pin connector for an iPod. I still have an iPod Classic (which is now apparently quite the collector's item, or something) that has never gone out of service. I tend to use the iPod more at work, as my employer isn't too keen on people streaming music over the network all day. So that means the Tango works better for the office. However - I could take the MobiAria to work, and just use the aux input, if I chose. - Sound. I was really impressed by the MobiAria's sound. I am not an audiophile by any stretch of the imagination. But I was impressed with the mellow mid-tones, and not-overly-deep bass. I listened to several types of music - classical, jazz, opera, downtempo, indie - and the speaker sounded great no matter what I played. The Tango sounded *good* on its own. In comparison to the MobiAria, though, the sound is just *okay*. And for home use, I prefer the richer, fuller, excellent sound of the MobiAria. I think the Tango will sound fine in my little office, but seemed to struggle a bit creating "room filling" mellow sound. Not a problem the MobiAria has, at all. At the lower end of the volume range, the speaker's sound was more than enough to fill the bedroom with music. I think this is an amazing speaker for the price. I am hoping it will last. Hard to go wrong at this price point of well under $100.
