Hoping to satisfy iPhone 5 users, the Dutch electronics maker Philips has introduced an array of docking speakers with Apple Lightning connectors.
Two of the more basic units are simply revamped models from the company?s existing lineup. If you already have either of these products with the older 30-pin connector, you won?t see anything new here.
The smaller of the two, the $90 Bedroom Docking Speaker, has a digital clock that automatically synchronizes the time with your iPhone and an adjustable nightlight underneath that emits a soft glow. It does not have an alarm mode, but that would be redundant because I have all of my alarms set in my iPhone anyway.
The sleek, round design of the docking speaker offers 360 degrees of sound, which was enough to fill my tiny bedroom. A protruding Lightning connector at the top of the device is intended to allow docking even when the iPhone is in its case, as I was able to do with mine.
The second model, the $129 Room to Room Docking Speaker, does not have a clock, but offers better sound from its front-facing speakers, with a bass that is noticeably deeper and richer. It also allows for docking without removing the iPhone?s case.
Which one you pick depends on your needs. Philips has two other docking speakers that offer more features, like portability and an FM radio. Personally, I liked the bedroom dock because of its size and practicality; it fits perfectly on a bedside table.
I have yet to find one on store shelves, but the new models are expected to show up at Best Buy first, then Target and Amazon.com, offering consumers a few more options for cradling their iPhones.
