With plenty of switching in progress, we have decided to roll out our very first post from the Staff Pick series. Staff Pick, a series currently scheduled to be posted once every fortnight, features handpicked and recommended items from our crew.

This week, we have Cedric Ng, the Retail Supervisor of Switch @ Gurney Plaza, to talk about his experiences with iBass, the music station for iPods.

(Cedric = C)

Q: Can you share with us your first experience with iBass?
C: I was quite surprised when I first tested the speaker. Both treble and bass are clear. I think the sound quality is good for a speaker at this price.

Q: What are your favourite features on iBass?
C: My favourite is definitely the remote control. It allows users to control treble and bass, and basic iPod functions such as play, pause, forward, volume, as well as shuffling and repeating functions. Other than that, the five included universal dock adapters supporting iPod classic, iPod touch, iPod nano, iPod mini and iPhone 3G are also my favourite. The included 3.5mm headphone jack and cable is also a plus point - which means it supports more than just iPods.

Q: Who do you think this product is suitable for?
C: I think it suits those who are looking for a simple, compact, non-bulky speaker that charges the iPod when they are listening to their favourite songs.

Q: Where do you think this speaker will fit into?
C: The black exterior is stylish, and with the nice curves, it will fit into almost any space. Personally I’d recommend placing in a small living room, office cubicle (if you are allowed to, of course), and perhaps your personal gym or workout station.

Q: Is there any advice that you’d like to give to those who are interested to own iBass?
C: Not much, except that with this speaker, you should expect yourself to concentrate even more with whatever you are doing - because there is no need to worry that your iPod will be out of battery anymore.

(iBass is currently retailed at RM339. You can now purchase iBass at RM219 with any iPod or Mac purchased. Available at all Switch™ outlets. Terms and conditions apply.)
