Handy for Playing in Isolation

The Sonic Port is one of the most intriguing iOS peripherals I've found. Also one of the most expensive.

I love that the sonic port packs the features of th FX100 into such a tight package. The sound quality is good but you will need quality, isolating headphones. This thing is a great solution for apartment dwellers. I use mine at the office when I need a little break but don't want to enrage the office mates.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of headphones when playing so the Sonic Port has its limit of tolerance for me. If I had to use this day-in, day-out, I'd go claustrophobic nutters, but for short sessions it does the job quite well. ~m

Excellent but...

The sound quality is excellent and portability is great too. But there's a major flaw, there's no way to charge your iOS device, a DC input shouldn't be a challenge. I use it now as a secondary audio interface.
