# Apple-Amplifying Platforms The JVC UX-VJ3 Speakers Provide a Slick Alternative for Music By Matt Ho | Published 2011-07-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jvc-ux-vj3 References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/jvc-dual-idevice-speaker-dock-launched/19381/) & [av.jvc](http://av.jvc.com/product.jsp?modelId=MODL028955&pathId=16&page=2) When it comes to speakers, the JVC UX-VJ3 probably has one of the best setups. The JVC UX-VJ3 is one of the latest speakers to come out of the electronics company built specifically for [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harman-kardon-radiance-2400) products. The center acts as the main compartment for the [iPad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/henri-matisse-x-casetify), while the side offers a dock for the [iPod](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-wireless-speaker). If you wanted to charge two devices at the same time, it's possible. It has two speakers that provide surround sound, 30-watt output and a "frequency range of between 73Hz and 18kHz and 10 percent total harmonic distortion," according to Gizmag. It has your standard AM/FM tuner, alarm clock, remote control, a downlit LED-illuminated base and, of course, music-playing capability. The slick, thin build won't take up too much space, so it's a design that's perfectly suited for the modern home. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Apple-amplifying Speakers:** Creating speakers specifically designed for Apple products to enhance the user experience. - **Multi-device Charging:** Offering the ability to charge two devices simultaneously, catering to the increasing number of Apple devices owned by individuals. - **Sleek and Space-saving Designs:** Designing speakers with a slim build to minimize space consumption and cater to modern home aesthetics. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Electronics:** Providing innovative speakers and audio products that cater to the unique needs of Apple device users. - **Smart Home:** Integrating speakers with smart home technology to provide seamless music playback and enhanced user experiences. - **Music Streaming:** Partnering with music streaming platforms to optimize the sound quality and usability of speakers, enhancing the streaming experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Visually Attractive Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audio-pro-t3-jepson-edition.md) - [Retro Sound Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/d32.md) - [Freestanding Smartphone Dock Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jteman-phone-stand-and-speaker.md) - [Retro-Styled Assistant Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jbl-authentics.md) - [Future-Proof Luxurious Portable Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beosound-a5-portable-speaker.md) - [Extravagant Home Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xcs15k-center-channel-loudspeaker.md) - [Sleek Visual Bluetooth Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tivoli-audio-boutique.md) - [Elegant At-Home Acoustic Equipment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/klipsch-one-plus-and-three-plus.md) - [Juxtaposing Modern Streaming Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songbook.md)
