Compact, all-in-one speaker system with good sound quality, plenty of volume and multiple inputs
 

After the initial feature of the SSB-1 in the Macworld website back in May 2009, the Crystal Audio sleek Soundbar is reviewed as part of the iPod accessories section.

According to Macworld, while "At first glance, the SSB-1 looks like a fairly ordinary iPod speaker system, but there’s a lot more to it. The SSB-1 is actually a ‘soundbar’ – a speaker system that attempts to create ‘virtual surround-sound’ effects without having to use a complex surround-sound speaker system with multiple speakers and yards of ugly cabling strewn across the floor."

"The sound quality is pretty good too – lovely and clear on higher frequencies, with a powerful bass punch from the subwoofer. The sound doesn’t get distorted as you turn the volume up either."

"It produces a clean, powerful sound, while the iPod dock and multiple inputs allow you to use it with an iPod, TV and other devices all at the same time."
