What will either sell or sink the Voyager for most people is the clock. Both worked without a problem in our testing. You can set the alarm to beep, starting quietly and then quickly ratcheting up to something louder, or trigger iPod/iPhone music. Songs sound FM radio-like, which is par or above par for the course with sub-$100 audio systems without clocks, and a little above par for ones with clocks built in an aux-in port in the back lets you connect 3.5mm audio sources, as well. The speaker quality is somewhere between decent and good, providing significantly louder sound than an iPod nano, iPod touch, iPhone 3G or 3GS can put out through its own speaker, but offering relatively flat, midrange-focused audio rather than anything that impresses with sparkle or thump. Though Voyager doesn’t do a lot more than play iPod or iPhone audio, keep time, and offer the aforementioned single alarm, those three features all work well enough given the price and size. In a neat accommodation, however, Luna Voyager automatically can set itself to the time programmed into your iPhone or iPod, and preserve that time until it’s unplugged. In any case, what this means is that Voyager’s speakers run only off of wall power, via the included adapter, and that you’ll have to supply the batteries if you want to keep the clock stable. Our guess based on the design is that Luna Voyager was originally intended to run its speakers off of battery power, too, but the engineering didn’t quite work out, so XtremeMac preserved the compartment as-was while leaving only space for the AAAs. An oddity of the battery compartment is that it was designed to be large enough to cover a bunch of AA batteries, but instead has space for only two AAAs, which XtremeMac doesn’t provide in the package they are only used as backups for the clock.
