Customer Review: Amazing sound for such a compact speaker
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this to listen to tunes with my friends while we play disc golf. I needed a rugged speaker to go in the mesh outside pocket of my disc bag. After a quick search, this speaker looked perfect. It just came today, and I hooked it to my pc and queued up my go-to speaker torture test -- Unchained by Van Halen. Wow, this little speaker rocks! Surprising volume and bass level. The carrying case looks rugged. I'm a little concerned about the connector cable; it looks a little weak, we'll see over time. I also wish it was longer, and as long as I'm complaining over something so minor, it would be cool if the cable had a retracting reel. But whatever, you can't expect too much for such a good price. We'll also see how it does for playing time with just 3 AAA batteries. All in all, I'm thrilled with my purchase, and would heartily recommend this speaker.Customer Review: Great Loud Sound for the Size and Price
Summary: 5 Stars
Prior to this purchase, I had a Logitech speaker system (that charged as well) that I thought was great until it burned out after a year and a half. I bought this because of the price and great reviews. Though it doesn't charge the Ipod, it does an amazing job and has a great battery life. I was concerned about its size, thinking it would not be loud enough to use outdoors on a camping trip or by the pool. I was pleasantly surprised at its volume and sound quality. It matched my previous system on these aspects at a much lower price, and is much more portable. Indoors and outdoors, I keep the volume on my ipod between 50-75% and it is plenty loud enough for everyone to hear. The sound quality is great for such a small and cheap speaker. Comes with a nice case and is very conveniently engineered to be on the go. Great product.Customer Review: Sounds pretty good
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this for my wife to use with her Zune HD, and I gotta say... I'm pretty impressed with the sound quality!
She leaves it on a shelf in the bathroom to use when she's doing the whole relaxing in the tub thing. Previously, she'd just plug in my studio headphones and CRANK up the volume... which is certainly not ideal.
This little thing puts out a decent amount of bass for its size, and the overall sound quality is pretty sharp. No overmodulation unless you're deliberately TRYING to push it over its limit.
The only additional thing I'd want on it is its own volume wheel (volume is adjusted via the source, i.e.: MP3 player, laptop etc), but that's a pretty negligible missing feature to me.
Maybe just a LITTLE pricey for what it is, but it's a damn convenient gadget overall.
Customer Review: Happy with the product
Summary: 5 Stars
When I found this item and read the reviews, I was afraid to order this for my 19 year old son and 30 year old nephew. Some of the reviews stated that the sound was too low and not a good sound. Well, I took the plunge and ordered two of them anyway. Now, I'm so happy I did. When my 19 year old opened this gift he was excited. Then he put the batteries in, which came with the product, and turned it on. Wow. The smile on his face said it all. He said, "Listen to this. I never would have thought that it would be so loud and sound so good." For a 19 year old to say that, it has to be good. My nephew loved his just as much. I bought these for them to use when they go horseback riding. We just got them, so I am not sure how they will hold up. Hopefully, they will be able to enjoy them for a long time to come.Customer Review: Totally worth my money
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this little speaker as a hook-up for my iTouch and/or laptop while I am at college. I didn't want your regular desktop speakers because I don't necessarily plan on using speakers all that much anyway with a roommate and all. Needless to say, this little guy has a lot to offer a woman in need of a basic speaker. It's ultra easy to use, portable enough to fit in my backpack or purse, but also has enough va-va-voom to wow anyone who listens to it. Of course, the bass is somewhat lacking, but I just adjusted the sound settings on my ipod to make the sound quality pretty good. In order to get the free shipping deal, I ordered a basic splitter and might come back to buy another one of these little speakers to plug into the splitter for a little extra kick. Great purchase--I would definitely recommend!
