The Extreme Mac Luna Alarm Clock - Tech Review

The XtremeMac Luna Alarm Clock - Tech Review Tiffany Young: Hi there and welcome to Neo-Fight.tv the Technology Show for the not so geeky. My name is Tiffany Young. Ben Freedman: And I'm Ben Freedman and today we are looking at a clock radio. Let me ask you a question before we get to this one. Tiffany Young: Okay. Ben Freedman: How much do you think is reasonable to spend on a clock radio? Tiffany Young: On a clock radio? Ben Freedman: This is a clock radio. Tiffany Young: $75.00. Ben Freedman: $75.00, this is by the way longing to what you just did there but a—yeah. This clock radio is a little pricier than that. $149.00, it was double of that but I love this clock radio. I want to convince you how fabulous this clock radio is. But there is a slide— Tiffany Young: Tell me Ben. Ben Freedman: I will, but this is a slide—don’t answers yet see what you got. Tiffany Young: Okay. Ben Freedman: How much would that be for me to put you in this clock radio today? Tiffany Young: How much do I act to be? You mean like what sort of option what I have to have? Ben Freedman: And show me sells person here. Tiffany Young: Yeah. Ben Freedman: I don’t think to drive out on this friendly clock radio. Tiffany Young: And you'll also receive if you order in the next 30 minutes. Ben Freedman: That’s right. So what this—this is first of all this is by company called the XtremeMac Luna, this is called the Luna clock radio. Very nice small package and this is kind of instruction sheet that when you first get it really helps because there's four unique controls. Take a look at there's four buttons on top and they both at least the front ones both push in and turns. So this turns as well as pushing in. And if you are interested in this kind of lays on top when you're first getting it to tell you what each one does. Tiffany Young: Oh okay, very nice. Ben Freedman: So gapping is a sort of beautiful display. Take a look of that display. It’s really nice high quality display and it will show you things, you know but your iPod and you know when you plug your iPod in the dark. Tiffany Young: Oh, you mean it shows like that, the name of that? Ben Freedman: Yeah, I'll show you in the second. So first of all let me show these beautiful controls here for instance this one when you turn it here you'll notice this is the display dimmer. You see the display getting brighter and dimmer there. It’s very easy and does with control, right. This one selects your source and also you're volume, so for instance I'm going to press this to FM. From with FM here's I left the antenna at all, so to stimulate the antenna I'm going to stick my finger in the antenna hole. No antenna, antenna, no antenna. Tiffany Young: It’s a good sound. Ben Freedman: My finger is in supply is it? Get your finger there. Tiffany Young: Okay. Ben Freedman: For those of you listening on MP3 and if you're wondering what we’re talking about, the audio only really good, wiggle your finger around a little bit, just like in there. So this is the volume control and it sound pretty good. Doesn’t have the base of some other units— Tiffany Young: The subwoofer, all right, ops slit. Ben Freedman: So very nice clock radio easy to read dial and of course it has an iPod dock to this. I'm going to take the said iPod and insert it to the dock here it will charge your iPod, you know as they all do as well. And now you can select as I input you can select your iPod as well. So that’s one I'm going to do here, iPod, right. Tiffany Young: You know wake up to wham. Ben Freedman: Wake up the wham. Tiffany Young: I want to do that like smooth operator. Ben Freedman: Yeah. The last clock radio we look at was the one by it was that sort of circular one by JBL. I can't remember what's it called but it was a JBL one and the problem was is every time you put your iPod in you reset to the beginning of your play list. Tiffany Young: Oh, that’s right, I mean to that. Ben Freedman: Please don’t do this. This one you can set where you want it too and what's song you wanted to wake up on, you know, and have it on there and it’s got two alarms. You know, to set in there so it’s really a cool I think for waking up you want to wake up to your iPod much better than that at all. Tiffany Young: Do you still wake up play list, songs to wake up too? Ben Freedman: Yeah and how is that play list ready to go and then it will play. And when you put in or take it out it doesn’t always go back to the first one. Tiffany Young: So you can have way to get some like it’s a nice talk, yeah a music and then goes into a little bit of slow music and then a little bit of get the hell up because it can help. Ben Freedman: Exactly, what I really like is again the display on here which I think is just take a look it just a really easy to read from across the room display. There's not have a video out on as some might find it’s hard to do but it does have a line in, so if you want to plug in another source, you know, take that or something else— Tiffany Young: Okay, dock Ben Freedman: Whatever! Any other source of— Tiffany Young: Oh on wave that, I could deck on? Ben Freedman: You can certainly do that too. Tiffany Young: How about an A track? Let's plug in an A track Ben. Ben Freedman: You're making fun of me? I think you are. Tiffany Young: No. Ben Freedman: So I got to tell you it’s a small, it’s compact, it’s nice to nice to on your side table, it has a really nice display. Again, let see it shows you what time you're alarm is set for there. It just as easy to read the display and it’s got very easy to operate controls. I think it sounds pretty good. It does not sound as good as the Harman Kardon Boom box, the JBL are the ones, you know, we've look at. This is not a great audio file as this— Tiffany Young: $80.00, and up $5.00. Ben Freedman: $80.00. Tiffany Young: $80.00. Ben Freedman: $149.00 is too expensive for you. Tiffany Young: Yeah. Ben Freedman: Even with iPod dock. Tiffany Young: Even iPod dock, I mean really it’s a clock alarm, I mean you're really using it for the only function which is to wake up to an iPod it doesn’t have the sub whooper your not use it really— Ben Freedman: It comes with the remote, use it from across the room? Mandy, can I get up to $90.00? Tiffany Young: You pay $89.99 going once and you'll throw in the free— Ben Freedman: The free instruction card. Tiffany Young: Instruction card. Ben Freedman: Yeah. Tiffany Young: Yeah. Ben Freedman: I think this is a fantastic clock radio and I don’t mind the price. Tiffany Young: It’s good clock radio. Ben Freedman: I give them five out of five. Tiffany Young: I think it’s a fantastic clock radio but I think it’s a fantastic clock radio for $80.00, so three out of five for me. The only issue really is the price; I mean I think that you know it’s too expensive right now. Ben Freedman: So that is three out of five, five out five for me or the XtremeMac Luna, which I really like. Let me tell you just before we cut through commercial. Its XtremeMac was kind of nice enough just to send me a couple of the other cool products. For instance, I love it when they do this. Here look at our clock radio and here is the other stuff that we sell too, this is XtremeMac MicroMemo and what it is it looks like a very expensive nose cleaner. Tiffany Young: I give you sad today. Ben Freedman: Yeah, feel that little sniff off. But you plug this in to your iPod like so and you can now record your memos with this. I'm going to hit or hit record here. Tiffany Young: So the standard recording software that it comes on the iPod. Ben Freedman: Yeah, it will ride and of course, he almost screens that and sees those whole numbers carrying out. So let's just do a minute or two just like of talking here and we’ll see. So how are you doing Tiff? Tiffany Young: Good, how your doing? Ben Freedman: How is that nose thing come along, are you snippily? Tiffany Young: You know, it’s good, it’s good the flowing it’s going to kick at any day now I know what. Ben Freedman: So, this is not going to be as high quality as you know some of the other more expensive recording things it just small mic. Tiffany Young: It’s kind of nice about the recording, you know, conversation that you’d like to have, so you know. Ben Freedman: It’s like secret conversations like when you go to like when you stick it in your jacket pocket? Tiffany Young: Of course for quality purposes, quality control purposes. Ben Freedman: I wonder if I could let you take this in my pocket here and just have like this and I can be like secretly taping our conversation here. Tiffany Young: You bet, okay. Ben Freedman: And you would even know about it. Tiffany Young: Private investigator can really make use of that. Ben Freedman: Right. Tiffany Young: Besides, if you play it up like it was on the iPod this will take your recording something. Ben Freedman: Exactly. Tiffany Young: Mine is he whole—my think it’s look like a mic. Ben Freedman: Maybe stop at here. The other thing this has I mean to say it. Tiffany Young: I like that. I think that’s kind of cool. Ben Freedman: You think it’s— Tiffany Young: I do, yeah. Ben Freedman: The other thing to think about is if I played this back, it has two little speakers here. Now that’s not very loud. Do you hear that? Tiffany Young: I hear it. Ben Freedman: It’s really quite. Tiffany Young: It’s really quite. Ben Freedman: That’s kind of because we were maybe far away let me see like what was up. Okay, those speaker are basically are very useless obviously because it— Tiffany Young: To conclude this, yeah. Ben Freedman: So the two little speakers are utterly useless, there are two little speaker here, maybe what happens when if I play back a music. Let's, go back there hold on. We’re going to go back to a player one. Tiffany Young: Maybe we need to record this in a high in the volume? Ben Freedman: You know, maybe when you throw on music here— Tiffany Young: You know, I'll tell you when you. Ben Freedman: Yeah. Here we go. Tiffany Young: Put it in the high now. Ben Freedman: So pretty they are quite and hold your mic. So it's not an iPod boom bass. Let's stipulate that but if I guess, I mean it’s pretty down quite that’s like full voice looks like crack. Tiffany Young: Yeah. Ben Freedman: Okay. Tiffany Young: What? Ben Freedman: So not great for playing back but gopher in a pinch you know, quiet environment now. Another little extreme mix, so that’s kind of—let see micro memo good for recording. Tiffany Young: But a very good idea. Ben Freedman: I'll just that audio on the broadcast. Tiffany Young: Okay, but you know a really good idea if they can just upgrade the quality, I mean really I think that’s a good seller, you know. Ben Freedman: Right and then there's this guys they also set me this is called the air play boost and what it does is you—let say you're in the car and it’s not like you're $80,000.00 audit already has the iPod— Tiffany Young: So always talk about my $80,000.00 audio, you want that don’t you? Ben Freedman: I do, I really do. I want a hummer, I like those hammer it choose. Tiffany Young: Yeah. Ben Freedman: You plug this in like so and it attach show the bottom and now this and you choose a frequency like I says 107.9 on the air and now what this will do is it will play you're songs through your car stereo. So if you have an old passion car stereo that doest have an iPod dock and it’s has FM radio you can now play this in your car and it comes through a car speakers. Tiffany Young: So I don’t know if any who have use the—actually there's a lot of different kids out there that you can buy and in areas where there's a lot of stations it’s a little bit harder to get good quality sound. Ben Freedman: Yes Tiffany Young: And in be next especially that’s the especially hard first. Ben Freedman: Phoenix is pretty bad. Phoenix is like medium bad. You know what's terrible is California? Tiffany Young: LA. Ben Freedman: LA, there so many— Tiffany Young: LA would be poor— Ben Freedman: It’s been Latino stations and then news talk stations and music stations it’s so hard to find your frequency kit by like an empty frequency one here. It’s very difficult to find. Tiffany Young: So yeah, that’s a cool and very nice design. Ben Freedman: It is nice design small, you know to fits on the bottom like that means here's your dock or/and they put another dock in front of the bottom so you want to like have a dock while your dock. Tiffany Young: So you could do your microphone, yeah. Ben Freedman: Yeah, you do like a microphone—okay, this is probably illegal in some stage. Tiffany Young: Maybe you want to record your radio. Ben Freedman: That’s right I'm trying to like attach the microphone to the—at least record not something they ever design this to do. Tiffany Young: I think they confiscate that near for security it looks like it might be an exclusive. Ben Freedman: That’s right. So now I can broadcast I can do karaoke to radios. Tiffany Young: Look at that or when your—we don’t have anything else to do. Ben Freedman: Okay, being silly now. So anyway this is all from the stream Mac we have the Luna and then these two little cute the air play boost and the— Tiffany Young: Do you know how much piece are radiance? Ben Freedman: Micro memory. You know I don’t have the point—oh, yes I do I'm sorry. A micro memo is what do you think? Tiffany Young: $10.00? Ben Freedman: $60.00. Tiffany Young: Come again? Ben Freedman: $60.00 for that guy and the air play boost is? Tiffany Young: Well gee, base on the other one, $59.95 above. Ben Freedman: $49.00, $60.00, $49.00 on their website when you buy those or I think that kind of what they are. Maybe we can more cheaper somewhere else but those are some fun products from our good friends at XtremeMac. Tiffany Young: Yes, thank you XtremeMac. Ben Freedman: And we will be right back in just a minute. Stay tune. Andy Walker: Hey, I'm Andy Walker.

Ben Freedman: They do and let me tell you the first one now is this group parts for both of this here. The first one is this really cool new backpack they’ve come out with designed for the big 17 inches laptop. You have a 17 inches laptop. Tiffany Young: I do. Ben Freedman: This is like others really cool funky design on it and it just an incredible amount of protection. This is the—it’s from the long name Velocity Spyder. Tiffany Young: I just love the materials that come out was obvious. Ben Freedman: It is really good, it’s kind of like suede wet suity material— Tiffany Young: Yeah, it just a really—the material just a very high quality solid— Ben Freedman: Now, regardless big pan slot logo on the back and that really— Tiffany Young: That’s the big hand. Ben Freedman: Yeah, it is a big hand. Give me a high five. Tiffany Young: Give me your SLAPPA. Ben Freedman: Give you me a big slap but this is really nice keeping your back cool and it’s padded and let's air go through and then inside here is the big main laptop compartment and it’s kind of hard to see in the back, but that where your laptop goes. Stick you hand in there. Well padded, don’t you think? Tiffany Young: Well padded, yeah. But you know it’s not so well padded that you can't get more stuff in there that switches the trick. Ben Freedman: Well, that’s right. It’s not going to—yeah, it’s right. You're right, a nice big space for your laptop in there. And then, you know, got all these pockets in the front, pocket in the side it just, I think for—if you're like looking for like a coolest well protected backpack on the— Tiffany Young: And it’s got a really good padding on the, you know.

Tiffany Young: I have lots of CD’s. Ben Freedman: I have a bunch of CD’s too and SLAPPA is known for their very cool CD storage and management systems. And this their new, what it’s called, it’s called the d2i System and it’s into rocking. Now, let me show you how this works. \ So this is the little guy the storage like 20 disks. And what's really cool about this is you notice that each one of this pocket is a double pocket so you put the disk in here and you—I should show them not you. Put the disk in here in this first pocket and then the second there is where you put the liner notes, you know, the little thing. So for each one you got the disk and you got the notes. Tiffany Young: Notes, perfect. Ben Freedman: On each one, so it’s very, very easy to find the disk and also where the cover is on. But here is what really cool about this, okay. This is a locking system where this goes in and out. Tiffany Young: Oh, how cool is that. Ben Freedman: It’s very cool; let me grab another one here. So you can take this if you just want to take a couple out you put them in your car visor, you don’t have to take the disk out and leave that in here. You can pull this right out of the case. Tiffany Young: Wow. Ben Freedman: This is the beauty of the d2i with locking system. Isn't that cool? Tiffany Young: And you can add more of you know— Ben Freedman: Well now, let say that this guy which stores, what was it— Tiffany Young: This is really neat. Ben Freedman: Yeah, because that one stores 40, okay. Tiffany Young: Yup, front and back. Ben Freedman: 40 fronts and back, yeah that’s right in that guys. But let say 40 isn't quite big enough for your particular CD collections. Well, that’s okay— Tiffany Young: He’s in a digital age. Ben Freedman: SLAPPA got you covered. Okay with this bad boy that stores like, how many is this one store? I know— Tiffany Young: I love the material. There something about the material. Ben Freedman: It’s like suede as I, 240 on this bad boy. Tiffany Young: Nice. Ben Freedman: Okay. Tiffany Young: Oh wow, look at that. Ben Freedman: That’s right. Now again, check it out here. Tiffany Young: Oh, that is cool. Ben Freedman: Let say you want to here and you're taking this one out. Tiffany Young: Oh my god! Ben Freedman: Right, and you can take this one and took out of the other set, okay and this slides go back in. Tiffany Young: Great Ben, tell me more. Ben Freedman: So it’s really easy to organize this you got space in here for like, you know, out of papers and stuff you open there. Okay? And that is little dusty. Tiffany Young: Little dusty. Ben Freedman: But that is not your walking system that’s just the coolest thing. Tiffany Young: No, it’s not a pattern to design that they—just going to be copied at that. Ben Freedman: This one it should be but this, I mean it’s really, really cool the way you can join two of them together but the main one I have another one. Now— Tiffany Young: Very nice. Ben Freedman: Let's just assume that 240, you know you’ve got your 40 here at 240 even that— Tiffany Young: So, we got your car, home and here comes the office version. Ben Freedman: If that isn't that big enough you got this big guy here. This is 420, now this is I guess if you like maybe a DJ or something check this out, okay. Tiffany Young: Oh wow! Ben Freedman: So this again these inter locking—let me first lift up the front here. The inter locking system these were slide nicely right in there. See how this store? Tiffany Young: Wow! Ben Freedman: Now let say you got this book and down into heavy metal, Celine Dion albums and Beatles, okay and you want to take the heavy metal this you can just take out these whole thing and you know it’s this got like all level on the front there. Can you see that? That’s the little logo, so very, very nice can go in and out. Tiffany Young: Wow! That is very cool. Ben Freedman: And then, you can unzip the top here. Tiffany Young: It’s like the go to my other go—Wow! That’s cool, that’s—well I am so surprise that this it such a neat design, it’s the first time I've seen this, so obviously— Ben Freedman: And in here look what you’ve got, okay. You got a place to hang your headphones, you got a place for your CD player and whatever it is you want to put in there you got a place to put your pens and your batteries and all kinds of other stuff. So you got more storage in there plus you’ve also got a pocket on the front here, check out that pocket right here. Everything is black so it’s personally impossible to see against those set. Tiffany Young: Oh, it’s like it’s got a strap right here for the carrying on the side. Ben Freedman: If you want to carry this guy, I mean this is a really nice taste. Tiffany Young: It is. Ben Freedman: I think you feel like a professional DJ. Tiffany Young: Yeah. Ben Freedman: You know, you bet or if you just want to carry you— Tiffany Young: You know what, this is great for photographer. You know why? Because a lot of photographers all their photos to disk and their camera would be in this part in the photography this in that part. Ben Freedman: So whether you want the 40 or the 240 or the 420 bring on and stick on top here you can make to see the mommy, daddy and the baby section here. I mean SLAPPA is really got you covered. Tiffany Young: It really does. Ben Freedman: I got to tell you as a CD store system this is the best I have seen; I got to give it five out of five. Tiffany Young: And yeah and this SLAPPA that I have from last, I don’t know a year ago that we've got. Ben Freedman: Yeah that from one, yeah. Tiffany Young: I use that bag on probably nine or ten trips and it looks as good now as it they won't—I still got. Ben Freedman: It’s really stands up like buffing and you know, bumping and bumps and knocks this is— Tiffany Young: First black doesn’t have here, you heard, right. Anyway,— Ben Freedman: Despite everything. Tiffany Young: Anyway I can't say anything bad about SLAPPA. Ben Freedman: You’re going to need SLAPPA do you think SLAPPA. Tiffany Young: This is SLAPPA. Ben Freedman: I think it’s a SLAPPA. Tiffany Young: Oh SLAPPA. Ben Freedman: SLAPPA, it’s S-L-A-P-P-A. Tiffany Young: Okay, SLAPPA. Ben Freedman: SLAPPA or maybe it is SLAPPA if you want to you know like the Jewish you thingy. Tiffany Young: All right or German, SLAPPA, SLAPPA heinzen, five out of five for me definitely this is great product. Ben Freedman: So that’s five out of five from Tiffany and five out of five from me. Ten out of ten for the SLAPPA d2i interlocking CD storage system very, very cool. Tiffany Young: Innovative design. Ben Freedman: In whatever you know, in small, medium and large. Tiffany Young: Right, very impressive. Ben Freedman: So I really like where you can take it from one of the that, you know.

The XtremeMac Luna Alarm Clock - Tech Review

Tiffany Young: Hi there and welcome to Neo-Fight.tv the Technology Show for the not so geeky. My name is Tiffany Young.

Ben Freedman: And I'm Ben Freedman and today we are looking at a clock radio. Let me ask you a question before we get to this one.

Tiffany Young: Okay.

Ben Freedman: How much do you think is reasonable to spend on a clock radio?

Tiffany Young: On a clock radio?

Ben Freedman: This is a clock radio.

Tiffany Young: $75.00.

Ben Freedman: $75.00, this is by the way longing to what you just did there but a—yeah. This clock radio is a little pricier than that. $149.00, it was double of that but I love this clock radio. I want to convince you how fabulous this clock radio is. But there is a slide—

Tiffany Young: Tell me Ben.

Ben Freedman: I will, but this is a slide—don’t answers yet see what you got.

Tiffany Young: Okay.

Ben Freedman: How much would that be for me to put you in this clock radio today?

Tiffany Young: How much do I act to be? You mean like what sort of option what I have to have?

Ben Freedman: And show me sells person here.

Tiffany Young: Yeah.

Ben Freedman: I don’t think to drive out on this friendly clock radio.

Tiffany Young: And you'll also receive if you order in the next 30 minutes.

Ben Freedman: That’s right. So what this—this is first of all this is by company called the XtremeMac Luna, this is called the Luna clock radio. Very nice small package and this is kind of instruction sheet that when you first get it really helps because there's four unique controls. Take a look at there's four buttons on top and they both at least the front ones both push in and turns. So this turns as well as pushing in. And if you are interested in this kind of lays on top when you're first getting it to tell you what each one does.

Tiffany Young: Oh okay, very nice.

Ben Freedman: So gapping is a sort of beautiful display. Take a look of that display. It’s really nice high quality display and it will show you things, you know but your iPod and you know when you plug your iPod in the dark.

Tiffany Young: Oh, you mean it shows like that, the name of that?

Ben Freedman: Yeah, I'll show you in the second. So first of all let me show these beautiful controls here for instance this one when you turn it here you'll notice this is the display dimmer. You see the display getting brighter and dimmer there. It’s very easy and does with control, right. This one selects your source and also you're volume, so for instance I'm going to press this to FM.

From with FM here's I left the antenna at all, so to stimulate the antenna I'm going to stick my finger in the antenna hole. No antenna, antenna, no antenna.

Tiffany Young: It’s a good sound.

Ben Freedman: My finger is in supply is it? Get your finger there.

Tiffany Young: Okay.

Ben Freedman: For those of you listening on MP3 and if you're wondering what we’re talking about, the audio only really good, wiggle your finger around a little bit, just like in there. So this is the volume control and it sound pretty good. Doesn’t have the base of some other units—

Tiffany Young: The subwoofer, all right, ops slit.

Ben Freedman: So very nice clock radio easy to read dial and of course it has an iPod dock to this. I'm going to take the said iPod and insert it to the dock here it will charge your iPod, you know as they all do as well. And now you can select as I input you can select your iPod as well. So that’s one I'm going to do here, iPod, right.

Tiffany Young: You know wake up to wham.

Ben Freedman: Wake up the wham.

Tiffany Young: I want to do that like smooth operator.

Ben Freedman: Yeah. The last clock radio we look at was the one by it was that sort of circular one by JBL. I can't remember what's it called but it was a JBL one and the problem was is every time you put your iPod in you reset to the beginning of your play list.

Tiffany Young: Oh, that’s right, I mean to that.

Ben Freedman: Please don’t do this. This one you can set where you want it too and what's song you wanted to wake up on, you know, and have it on there and it’s got two alarms. You know, to set in there so it’s really a cool I think for waking up you want to wake up to your iPod much better than that at all.

Tiffany Young: Do you still wake up play list, songs to wake up too?

Ben Freedman: Yeah and how is that play list ready to go and then it will play. And when you put in or take it out it doesn’t always go back to the first one.

Tiffany Young: So you can have way to get some like it’s a nice talk, yeah a music and then goes into a little bit of slow music and then a little bit of get the hell up because it can help.

Ben Freedman: Exactly, what I really like is again the display on here which I think is just take a look it just a really easy to read from across the room display. There's not have a video out on as some might find it’s hard to do but it does have a line in, so if you want to plug in another source, you know, take that or something else—

Tiffany Young: Okay, dock

Ben Freedman: Whatever! Any other source of—

Tiffany Young: Oh on wave that, I could deck on?

Ben Freedman: You can certainly do that too.

Tiffany Young: How about an A track? Let's plug in an A track Ben.

Ben Freedman: You're making fun of me? I think you are.

Tiffany Young: No.

Ben Freedman: So I got to tell you it’s a small, it’s compact, it’s nice to nice to on your side table, it has a really nice display. Again, let see it shows you what time you're alarm is set for there. It just as easy to read the display and it’s got very easy to operate controls. I think it sounds pretty good. It does not sound as good as the Harman Kardon Boom box, the JBL are the ones, you know, we've look at. This is not a great audio file as this—

Tiffany Young: $80.00, and up $5.00.

Ben Freedman: $80.00.

Tiffany Young: $80.00.

Ben Freedman: $149.00 is too expensive for you.

Tiffany Young: Yeah.

Ben Freedman: Even with iPod dock.

Tiffany Young: Even iPod dock, I mean really it’s a clock alarm, I mean you're really using it for the only function which is to wake up to an iPod it doesn’t have the sub whooper your not use it really—

Ben Freedman: It comes with the remote, use it from across the room? Mandy, can I get up to $90.00?

Tiffany Young: You pay $89.99 going once and you'll throw in the free—

Ben Freedman: The free instruction card.

Tiffany Young: Instruction card.

Ben Freedman: Yeah.

Tiffany Young: Yeah.

Ben Freedman: I think this is a fantastic clock radio and I don’t mind the price.

Tiffany Young: It’s good clock radio.

Ben Freedman: I give them five out of five.

Tiffany Young: I think it’s a fantastic clock radio but I think it’s a fantastic clock radio for $80.00, so three out of five for me. The only issue really is the price; I mean I think that you know it’s too expensive right now.

Ben Freedman: So that is three out of five, five out five for me or the XtremeMac Luna, which I really like. Let me tell you just before we cut through commercial. Its XtremeMac was kind of nice enough just to send me a couple of the other cool products. For instance, I love it when they do this. Here look at our clock radio and here is the other stuff that we sell too, this is XtremeMac MicroMemo and what it is it looks like a very expensive nose cleaner.

Tiffany Young: I give you sad today.

Ben Freedman: Yeah, feel that little sniff off. But you plug this in to your iPod like so and you can now record your memos with this. I'm going to hit or hit record here.

Tiffany Young: So the standard recording software that it comes on the iPod.

Ben Freedman: Yeah, it will ride and of course, he almost screens that and sees those whole numbers carrying out. So let's just do a minute or two just like of talking here and we’ll see. So how are you doing Tiff?

Tiffany Young: Good, how your doing?

Ben Freedman: How is that nose thing come along, are you snippily?

Tiffany Young: You know, it’s good, it’s good the flowing it’s going to kick at any day now I know what.

Ben Freedman: So, this is not going to be as high quality as you know some of the other more expensive recording things it just small mic.

Tiffany Young: It’s kind of nice about the recording, you know, conversation that you’d like to have, so you know.

Ben Freedman: It’s like secret conversations like when you go to like when you stick it in your jacket pocket?

Tiffany Young: Of course for quality purposes, quality control purposes.

Ben Freedman: I wonder if I could let you take this in my pocket here and just have like this and I can be like secretly taping our conversation here.

Tiffany Young: You bet, okay.

Ben Freedman: And you would even know about it.

Tiffany Young: Private investigator can really make use of that.

Ben Freedman: Right.

Tiffany Young: Besides, if you play it up like it was on the iPod this will take your recording something.

Ben Freedman: Exactly.

Tiffany Young: Mine is he whole—my think it’s look like a mic.

Ben Freedman: Maybe stop at here. The other thing this has I mean to say it.

Tiffany Young: I like that. I think that’s kind of cool.

Ben Freedman: You think it’s—

Tiffany Young: I do, yeah.

Ben Freedman: The other thing to think about is if I played this back, it has two little speakers here. Now that’s not very loud. Do you hear that?

Tiffany Young: I hear it.

Ben Freedman: It’s really quite.

Tiffany Young: It’s really quite.

Ben Freedman: That’s kind of because we were maybe far away let me see like what was up. Okay, those speaker are basically are very useless obviously because it—

Tiffany Young: To conclude this, yeah.

Ben Freedman: So the two little speakers are utterly useless, there are two little speaker here, maybe what happens when if I play back a music. Let's, go back there hold on. We’re going to go back to a player one.

Tiffany Young: Maybe we need to record this in a high in the volume?

Ben Freedman: You know, maybe when you throw on music here—

Tiffany Young: You know, I'll tell you when you.

Ben Freedman: Yeah. Here we go.

Tiffany Young: Put it in the high now.

Ben Freedman: So pretty they are quite and hold your mic. So it's not an iPod boom bass. Let's stipulate that but if I guess, I mean it’s pretty down quite that’s like full voice looks like crack.

Tiffany Young: Yeah.

Ben Freedman: Okay.

Tiffany Young: What?

Ben Freedman: So not great for playing back but gopher in a pinch you know, quiet environment now. Another little extreme mix, so that’s kind of—let see micro memo good for recording.

Tiffany Young: But a very good idea.

Ben Freedman: I'll just that audio on the broadcast.

Tiffany Young: Okay, but you know a really good idea if they can just upgrade the quality, I mean really I think that’s a good seller, you know.

Ben Freedman: Right and then there's this guys they also set me this is called the air play boost and what it does is you—let say you're in the car and it’s not like you're $80,000.00 audit already has the iPod—

Tiffany Young: So always talk about my $80,000.00 audio, you want that don’t you?

Ben Freedman: I do, I really do. I want a hummer, I like those hammer it choose.

Tiffany Young: Yeah.

Ben Freedman: You plug this in like so and it attach show the bottom and now this and you choose a frequency like I says 107.9 on the air and now what this will do is it will play you're songs through your car stereo. So if you have an old passion car stereo that doest have an iPod dock and it’s has FM radio you can now play this in your car and it comes through a car speakers.

Tiffany Young: So I don’t know if any who have use the—actually there's a lot of different kids out there that you can buy and in areas where there's a lot of stations it’s a little bit harder to get good quality sound.

Ben Freedman: Yes

Tiffany Young: And in be next especially that’s the especially hard first.

Ben Freedman: Phoenix is pretty bad. Phoenix is like medium bad. You know what's terrible is California?

Tiffany Young: LA.

Ben Freedman: LA, there so many—

Tiffany Young: LA would be poor—

Ben Freedman: It’s been Latino stations and then news talk stations and music stations it’s so hard to find your frequency kit by like an empty frequency one here. It’s very difficult to find.

Tiffany Young: So yeah, that’s a cool and very nice design.

Ben Freedman: It is nice design small, you know to fits on the bottom like that means here's your dock or/and they put another dock in front of the bottom so you want to like have a dock while your dock.

Tiffany Young: So you could do your microphone, yeah.

Ben Freedman: Yeah, you do like a microphone—okay, this is probably illegal in some stage.

Tiffany Young: Maybe you want to record your radio.

Ben Freedman: That’s right I'm trying to like attach the microphone to the—at least record not something they ever design this to do.

Tiffany Young: I think they confiscate that near for security it looks like it might be an exclusive.

Ben Freedman: That’s right. So now I can broadcast I can do karaoke to radios.

Tiffany Young: Look at that or when your—we don’t have anything else to do.

Ben Freedman: Okay, being silly now. So anyway this is all from the stream Mac we have the Luna and then these two little cute the air play boost and the—

Tiffany Young: Do you know how much piece are radiance?

Ben Freedman: Micro memory. You know I don’t have the point—oh, yes I do I'm sorry. A micro memo is what do you think?

Tiffany Young: $10.00?

Ben Freedman: $60.00.

Tiffany Young: Come again?

Ben Freedman: $60.00 for that guy and the air play boost is?

Tiffany Young: Well gee, base on the other one, $59.95 above.

Ben Freedman: $49.00, $60.00, $49.00 on their website when you buy those or I think that kind of what they are. Maybe we can more cheaper somewhere else but those are some fun products from our good friends at XtremeMac.

Tiffany Young: Yes, thank you XtremeMac.

\
So this is the little guy the storage like 20 disks. And what's really cool about this is you notice that each one of this pocket is a double pocket so you put the disk in here and you—I should show them not you. Put the disk in here in this first pocket and then the second there is where you put the liner notes, you know, the little thing. So for each one you got the disk and you got the notes.

Tiffany Young: Notes, perfect.

Ben Freedman: On each one, so it’s very, very easy to find the disk and also where the cover is on. But here is what really cool about this, okay. This is a locking system where this goes in and out.

Tiffany Young: Oh, how cool is that.

Ben Freedman: It’s very cool; let me grab another one here. So you can take this if you just want to take a couple out you put them in your car visor, you don’t have to take the disk out and leave that in here. You can pull this right out of the case.

Tiffany Young: Wow.

Ben Freedman: This is the beauty of the d2i with locking system. Isn't that cool?
