iHog Portable Speakers and Docking Station will make you Squeal

This past Christmas I was looking for an Audio System for my daughter that would allow her to play music from her iPhone and also double as a docking station. There it so much on the market it can get very overwhelming. So I made a list of some of the important things I wanted for her.

Note my daughter is 11 years old and we were also upgrading her iPhone 3 to the iPhone 4 for Christmas.

Here was my wish list:

• Compact  - I did not want anything that took up too much room on a shelf or dresser in her room.
• I did not want the smaller size to impact sound and quality
• Appearance - I wanted to find something fun with color to match her room.
• Ease of use - could not be overly complicated to work since she is young
• Needs to charge the iPhone when the phone was docked.
• That she did not have to remove her iPhone Case when docking

That was not too much to ask for right? Well after a lot of searching I found the iHog from Speakal. I was so excited because it had everything I was looking for and more. I read tons of reviews and they were all great so I made the purchase.

I could not wait for my daughter to open it up on Christmas so I could see it in person. There it is in the photo to the left on Christmas morning.

I am not sure who squealed more - me or her - lol

Is the iHog adorable or what?

Now that you have read my story and have seen how adorable this iHog is let me give you some more technical info on this cutie.

• iPhone/iPod Docking Station - will fit all iPhones
• 2.1 Stereo Speaker System
• Plays and Charges all iPhones/iPods with dock Connector
• It is Portable with a Built in Lithium battery for 6- 8+ hours of continuous play or you can plug it in to the wall
• Touch-sensitive controls - One of my favorite features - just tap the iHog's ears to control the volume
• Remote to control the speakers and your iPhone/iPod
• Adjustable Bass and Treble
• 5 Speakers positioned for maximum sound separation and distribution with tweeters and midrange.
• 20W Subwoofer
• Total output of 28+ Watts
• Airflow optimized design for consistent sound performance
• Bass Reflex Technology
• Shape designed to deliver 360 Degrees of Sound
• 3.5mm AUX input jack to connect to TV, Gaming Console or other music sources such as iPod Shuffle

My favorite features of the iHog besides its adorable looks is the touch sensitive volume controls - all you do is tap the ears, my daughter loves that.  I also love that it is portable which was a bonus when I came across it. Now my daughter can take the iHog to any room in the house and even outside to listen to her favorite music. Oh and did I mention the mouth lights up Blue and will blink Blue while charging? Yup another very cool feature. (I think the White iHog lights up Green)

I highly recommend the iHog for any age, but it is especially great for the younger ones. The sound quality is amazing - much better than I expected it to be. We LOVE it !!!
