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.
