  • Truly wireless speaker system with iPod dock; speakers utilize recharging lithium ion batteries for cable-free operation; RF wireless transmission for speakers and remote works through walls and over long distances; movable speakers enables excellent s...
  • Speaker batteries arent replaceable; speakers lack convincing bass, and sound quality deteriorates at higher volumes; video output only works for fifth-gen iPods; remote offers only basic controls, so youll have to return to the base station to acces...
  • The iPod-friendly Griffin Evolve is the first wireless speaker system that delivers a truly cable-free experience.

  • Abstract:  Almost a year ago at CES 2007, Griffin gave the press a peek at a prototype of a wireless speaker system that offered both style and technology found in no other iPod system on the market. It was a bold product for a company that draws the majority of ...

  • Modern, attractive design. Pretty good remote. Excellent range of about 100 feet.
  • Poor sound quality—our only gripe, but a big one.
  • The beautifully designed Evolve Wireless Sound System for iPod is a great concept, but poor audio performance spoils the deal....

  • A high-tech, high-design wireless speaker system that’s easy enough for anyone to use, and powerful both in speaker battery life and maximum volume level. Enables user to dock iPod and put speakers in the same or different rooms 100 feet away, w...
  • equently, there’s no doubt that Evolve’s speakers would be the first ones we would actually carry outdoors and use anywhere around the house, given their convenience and overall quality, and their combination of practicality and good look...
  • "Wireless.” In the world of iPod audio equipment, the word has two meanings: one is ideal, the other practical. The ideal wireless device doesn’t use wires to connect to anything, except a power recharger. It can be taken and used an...

  • Le design, Lidée originale
  • Rien
  • Une vague de minimalisme a frappé les concepteurs de lEvolve, de Griffin. Chaque surface est lisse, composée de lignes et darêtes douces, couverte de noir laqué, de blanc «Apple» ou de métal. La base est fine, avec en son centre le berceau de liPod ...

  • Abstract:  I sina bästa stunder, när högtalarna sitter i laddningsstationen, låter Evolve riktigt bra med enklare musik. Både popdängor och akustisk musik kommer till sin rätt tack vare ett bra mellanregister och en godkänd diskant. Blåsinstrument kan dock låta lite skrälliga så jazz och klassiskt är inte de bästa genrerna för denna apparat...

  • Abstract:  I sine beste stunder – når høyttalerne sitter i ladingsstasjonen – låter Evolve ordentlig bra med enkel musikk. Både popsanger og akustisk musikk kommer til sin rett, takket være et bra mellomregister og en godkjent diskant..
