It manufactures computer peripherals like keyboards, mouses, CPU Cabinets, webcams, speakers, headphones, microphones, MP3 Players, SMPs, LCD Monitors, USB Flash Drives (Pen Drives) and barcode scanners. One of its most hyped speaker system is iBall Booster 5.1 Channel Speaker System which I recently had the misfortune of buying.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Technical Specifications :<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"display: block; padding: 6px 6px 6px 0; float: right; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 18px;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- New Ad Units - Within Post --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 300px; height: 250px;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1348861866969841\" data-ad-slot=\"4861379763\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">5.1 Multimedia speakers with digital touch buttons.<br \/>\nMultiple Input Options \u2013 5.1 \/ 2.1 \/ USB \/ SD<br \/>\nDigital LED display with full functional Remote Control<br \/>\nIndividual channel volume control<br \/>\nFull wood speakers for deep and pure sound<br \/>\nSub-Woofer: 1 Sub-woofer<br \/>\nSub-woofer Driver Unit: 5.25 inch woofer driver<br \/>\nSatellite Driver Unit: 3 inch<br \/>\nRMS Power: 45 Watts RMS max.<br \/>\nSatellite RMS Power: 15 Watts<br \/>\nMagnetically Shielded: Satellites magnetically shielded<br \/>\nLCD Display: LED display for easy operation<br \/>\nFrequency Response: 20Hz~20kHz<br \/>\nS\/N Ratio: &gt;=75dB<br \/>\nSeparation: &gt;=45dB<br \/>\nInputs: 5.1 Channel, AUX (2.1CH Stereo), USB &amp; SD\/MMC<br \/>\nCordless Remote Control: Full function cordless remote control<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Warranty<\/strong><\/span> : 1 Year Manufacturer&#8217;s Warranty<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Review<\/strong><\/span> : From reading the technical specification, it sounds like a pretty good deal but it really is not. The biggest drawback of this speaker is that it is incompatible with most of the major sound cards. No matter what sound card you have, you just cannot get it to work right. I tried it with 3 different creative sound cards which are the best reasonably priced sound cards available in Indian market but these speakers did not work with either. The entire 5.1 set-up did not sync with either of the three sound cards. So If you are planning to buy it for your computer, do not make that mistake. It is specifically designed for DVD players.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But that is not all. Even with the DVD players, the sound is not that great. Bass effect is not up to the mark. Excess treble in the output sound. Base is just plain horrible. It lacks sound clarity. Absence of FM is another big drawback which is there nowadays in almost all major speaker systems.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What&#8217;s more? Its highly over-priced. You can find much better creative speaker system for almost half the price. It almost comes in range with Sony but is not capable of delivering even one tenth of what Sony speakers can. The product does not have value for money and I would not suggest anyone to buy it, ever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>iBall is a computer hardware company based out of Mumbai.
