Today I installed Iball Booster on my 42" LCD TV in my living room. I brought this 5.1 speaker system after checking almost all the other products in the market.
There were numerous good options available in home theatre systems, but I already had a DVD player so buying a home theatre system was not an option. I looked good speaker systems to fulfill my requirements. I checked the products of Philips, Edifier, Bose, Altec Lansing, Creative, and maybe a couple more. I buy on specifications more than brand-value.I know iBall is notorious for cheap quality Chinese products but this one rules on the specs front.
Powerful Audio : I-Ball Booster has more power than any other competing brand ( 120W RMS ) Always compare RMS values as PMPO can be flawed easily. Only Philips had 120W speakers which too got discontinued recently. Bose was most powerful but hugely priced (56000/- for a 5.1 audio system was a theft). Unbelievably the speakers are made of Wood (Moulded MDF Board), It looks and feels like plastic but when you drill a cavity you come to know its wood.
Cordless Remote Control which actually works: Booster comes with a feature packed remote which can adjust the volumes of each channel separately (Front, Rear, Center, and Bass) to get your desired effect.
LCD Display and front buttons - It has easy to understand LED buttons and LCD Panel in the front of the subwoofer. It also has front buttons to control the system if you cannot find your remote by chance.
Great Price - I bought it for Rs 3450/-. It is a real competitive pricing considering its specification. It delivered better performance than other products costing around 5000/- (as per my testing experience at retail shops). I tested the audio and liked it, bought it, installed the system at my place and love it. I still need to find out the durability of the product.
There is one manufacturing defect that I would like to bring notice of iBall. These speakers can be mounted on the wal using the nail hanging socket on the back. The Front Center is meant to be put horizontally but the socket on its back is wrong, the wall mount can be hanged only vertically. I had to drill a nail-hole manually to hang it on my wall. Luckily it worked for me and solved the purpose but I wonder how they overlood. Considering the quality of the sound, remote control, and simple neat looks to go with any decor, I would recommend these speakers to anybody looking for a 5.1 audio system. Cheers
