Sooo, because I was away for so long... I'm trying to make up for lost time and will be posting four articles today, before I return to the once a week routine I usually follow. So let's start this one on how can someone further enhance the abilities of an Apple. Well this week I found the answer to that age old mystery, and it’s called XtremeMac. XtremeMac make products that will protect, power and  enhance Apple devices.  This week we were able to get our hands on two products that are made by XtremeMac . They were the Tango TRX and the Soma Stand are both good devices in their own light, but I’ll let you be the judge of that…


Tango TRX

The Tango TRX is a dock and speaker system for almost all your Apple devices whether it be old or new, but it also has an auxiliary stereo mini jack input and Bluetooth audio streaming capability built-in to give other devices the option to function with it as well.  Now to point out the good, bad and ugly side of this device.


The Good (Outstanding qualities that had to be mentioned)

  • The sound quality that this little thing pumps out is astonishing. It was able to produce a very deep round bass and  very sharp treble.
  • The ability to customize the amount of bass or treble you hear through the speakers is a nice touch.
  • Also, the two free apps that is offered to iPhone and iPod Touch owners is great for showing of the Bluetooth audio streaming capabilities.
  • Very sturdy and attractive  build quality.
 
The Bad (Points that were a bit disappointing and had to be mentioned)



  • The sound quality wasn’t  as impress through the Bluetooth,  but it was far from horrible.
  • The docking station was not compatible with any of the Apple iPad versions.
 
The Ugly (Horrible points that may irritate the consumer and had to be mentioned)



  • The cloth that covers the speakers are dust magnets and may be a hassle to clean.
 
Final Thoughts

The Tango Trx is a small audio system that packs a heavy punch. This device is powerful enough to satisfy all your music needs whether it be the bedroom or the living room. The Tango Trx retails for about 16,000.00(JMD).

  
Soma Stand

The Soma Stand  is a bed side/potable audio docking  station for you Apple device that has a very unique designed. It’s able of folding flat for storage or open into a rounded pyramid shape with a pop-out front dock and rear-mounted controls. Now to point out the good, bad and ugly side of this device.

                                                                                                                           

The Good (Outstanding qualities that had to be mentioned)
  • The sound quality was excellent for the size of this device.
  • The free app that is offered to iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad owners helps to turn your device into a very expensive bedside alarm clock.
  • Exceptionally rugged and eye-catching  build quality.
  • It is potable and can be used on the go.

The Bad (Points that were a bit disappointing and had to be mentioned)


  • The docking station was a little weak but it held itself together.

The Ugly (Horrible points that may irritate the consumer and had to be mentioned)



  • This thing uses four… (4) AA Batteries . If that’s not something to point out then I don’t know what is.
 
Final Thoughts

Overall, the Soma Stand is a truly unique petite speaker system, and it also delivers excellent sound. It’s small enough to fit on a desk or a nightstand without taking up a great deal of space. The Soma Stand retails for about  9,000.00 (JMD). The products mentioned in this article were provided courtesy of Royale Computers and Accessories telephone#: 906-1067, 906-1068, and 754-5048.
