How does this compare to the sharkk boom box? Does it have aux connect and voice prompts too?

This speaker does not have the voice prompts. This speaker has a small fold out stand to hold a phone or tablet. It has a AUX port and cable.

Same listed wattage- however, of course, Shark doesn't want to tell you that most of the wattage is directed to the the mids (about 40%), highs/treble (45%), & lows (bass) (15%). It has 2 drivers that unfortunately don't have a big enough casing to deliver the same bass levels the boom box may deliver (possibly near 30% ? ,I assume). This however, is amazing to use for speakerphone IF you use the aux cord (I'm not a big fan of bluetooth in general, as it's just too flaky for me & have heard too many anecdotal experiences from even oncologists about health concerns)

The Onyx only has Bluetooth, The Onyx Studio has many types of input. I believe the hardware and sound quality are identical. I thought i ordered the Onyx Studio on sale and got the Onyx. I really wanted a AUX in because sometime i don't want to mess with Bluetooth or thought someone would not have Bluetooth. But it has not been an issue and I love the sound quality. I mostly use it with my Note 3 with zero Bluetooth issues.

Glad you asked this q as I am wondering the same thing! From what I can tell from research is that the tough talking one has a version of a radio that plays set tunes/microphone (which may be a fun add) and the color - both got great reviews. if you decided on one would be interested to hear which one you went with- thx!

Haven't tried it, but I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that you can. That's a common ability of decent boom boxes, and this is a fairly high end unit. To be sure, just google the owner's manual.

I have iPhone 4S, and once docked in and a play list or artist is selected you can forward/backward, play/pause, volume up/down perfectly. I haven't tried to navigate the playlist while on dock, however I don't think it's possible... It does have a good sound but it's not like a Bose, neither is the price of course! If you get it around $60+ it's a good choice. There's more upscale stuff I guess but this covered my basic needs.

I wish I could help you but I keep the boombox in my workshop at the cabin and just have used my ipod. If it ever warms up I'll take a ride and check it out.

Yes you are correct. It sounds great. Connect through bluetooth or 3.5mm aux in jack

Making and taking calls is fine with a note. The Bluetooth with music is nearly unusable due to slow communication response. I use the Din plug with the Aux input. Even better - dump your music to a USB stick and use that

The Bifrost does not have an aux input, only a digital input, SPDiF (coax) comes standard and if you want to add USB it is extra. If you use these connections You tube or anything you play through it will sound better. Good luck Bill

This unit has one input for a microphone, and one input for an AC adapter for power. in addition it has a battery compartment. It does not have an aux. input for music in addition to the microphone input. Basically, this is just a microphone.

I'm not sure but I have an IPhone and as soon as I turned on bluetooth, it picked up the Sharkk and began playing the music over the speaker. Easiest speaker I've every dealt with and the sound is top shelf. A friend of mine had me order him one as soon as he heard it.

I use an iPod Classic (older model 20gb) and it works fine. I do not have an iPhone but play my Zune through the aux input. I also have a Google phone (Nexus 5) and play it through the aux input with good fidelity. The sound is very good and I don't play my Bose 901's in the living room anymore because the dock is so convenient and so good. I like th price/value factor of the Altec Lansing docks. I still have my first one playing in the basement...Nice!

No. It is a relatively inexpensive boombox to play CDs and audio input via jack. Two annoyances about it: There is a slight quick fade in at the start of each track. And the buttons push hard, but it doesn't way much, so on a smooth surface, just pressing play or skip moves the whole thing a bit on that side.

Reginald, I loved this so much I bought two. I have one upstairs and one downstairs. Most of these units sound like an a.m. transistor radio, but not this one. It has a loudness boost on it and you can also change the equalizer settings on your ipod or phone to change the sound up a bit more. I am very happy with it. Oh and it charges while you are listening to your music and the charge on it is pretty fast! I think it was well worth the money for this one!

Not that I am aware of. However, I am not the most tech-saavy person, so I am not positive. I still listen to the radio or have actual CDs. In other words, if your boombox MUST have MP3 capability, then this is probably not the right one for you.

Although I have never used it with aux input, I think you just plug it in and disconnect USB cable. If it doesn't work, go to Control Panel, and after selecting "Sound", make sure the Z205 is your default speaker. Hope this helps!

The sound quality is pretty good although I think the bluetooth unit sounds better. I dont remember a "gain" on the unit. Also keep in mind the usb portion is for charging only. The sound input is the 3.5mm plug and the unit comes with a 3.5 to 3.5mm adapter. Hope this helps.
