  Introduction

Almost one year ago we tested Terratec’s NOXON iRadio music player. This year they’re releasing a new product with increased cuteness and functionality factor.

The Noxon iRadio Cube is a more potent, yet more compact player that the previous iRadio. While it’s about half the size of the old one, it now comes with 2.1 speaker configuration, compared to the one speaker setup before. Feature wise a new “oldskool” FM radio antenna is now included and the Cube can be used as wake-up radio as it comes with a big snooze button on top.

The feature list of the previous iRadio was far from small, able to stream music from the internet as its mean function, but also from a local media server which could be set up easily with the included software CD.

Inside the Box & Specifications

The iRadio Cube comes in a rather large box for such a small device, a lot of padding to prevent damage during transport:
