These speakers look nice, the control unit is smaller than it looks and, of course, they sound pretty good too

Not including the ipod cable. Not really a big deal since you should already have one if you own an ipod

Sleek design - looks great on desk ; Very good sound, at least for my needs - listening to NPR and some music ; Control module with volume control and MP3/iPod dock is easy to use ; Good price/value

Speaker balance (top/bottom) could be better - it feels like its easy to tip over ; Not that much bass response, but then again I would have spent $20 for the 3 piece version (2.1 Lounge) if that was my driving factor
