Customer Review: Handy player for a traveling yoga teacher
Summary: 5 Stars
I have now purchased two of this item--one for me, two years ago, and one for my father-in-law just recently. I like it enough for me that I bought it for him.
I use this player to play my music when I travel around to various locations to teach yoga. I teach a type of yoga that uses loud, upbeat music (not soft woo-woo music), so I want a player that can deliver good sound at a good volume in locations that can range in size from conference rooms to gymnasiums. This player does the trick.
The folding legs are simple. The case is sturdy. As others have noted, I wish there were a sleeve on the case for the power cord (just in case). You must separately bring the cord along if you wish power back-up in case of a partial charge. I have not yet had problems with decreased charge due to slow battery failure, but I usually only use the unit one hour at a time.
I bought my first unit at Costco, which still carries the product for less than all the websites I recently visited. Good luck, and enjoy your new player!
Customer Review: Pop it in and go
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the mm50 from another soldier who I replaced in Iraq. The unit I received has been dropped, dragged around, shipped across the world several times, and is covered in dust most of the time, but I have been so impressed with its overall quality and performance that I went out and purchased the newer model for my wife to use at home.
In terms of sound quality, I found that the dock did an incredible job at projecting excellent sound quality over the din of computer fans and constant activity in what amounts to a reception area for our main office. The volume has a decent range and I have yet to notice any distortion. The battery has worked well to keep the unit playing throughout our copious power outages. We have used this dock with almost every iPod model made to date and have had no issues. It was one of the few units that we have used in our office that successfully charges the iTouch and iPhone.
I would recommend this unit for anyone looking for a simple, easy to use iPod dock.
Customer Review: Very versatile!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I did a lot of shopping around for an iPod speaker system that I could use in my office. This is THE one! It's small enough to easily fit on my desk. I love the fact that I can play it either plugged into the wall, or off the battery...and it charges my iPod while it plays! I can unplug it and move it wherever I want in my office. Before I leave for the day, I just plug it in and recharge it. The next morning, it's ready to go all over again. Oh....and it sounds great even at low volume, which was a concern since I use it at work, (think of Milton of Office Space..."played at a reasonable volume"). With the remote, I can quickly pause or adjust the volume if someone comes into my office or if I need to get on the phone. I have the Bose system at home, and this one isn't as good, (how could it be?), but it's definitely good enough. Some hard-core audiophile could probably rip apart the sound quality, but it works fine for me. Trust me....pick this thing up!
Customer Review: AWESOME SPEAKERS
Summary: 5 Stars
These speakers are incredibly amazing. Before this I had the jbl on stage, which were also incredibly good. But I wanted something that I can play without having to plug into a power outlet and would work on rechargable batteries. I didnt want one in which I would have to put in batteries myself(that is a pain) I did alot of research and read a bunch of reviews and im glad I purchased these speakers. Most of the reviews about the sound quality is true. The speakers have a very rich sound and good bass also, obviously not thumping bass for which you would need a huge subwoofer!! Although the bass im getting out of these speakers was unexpected. Without a doubt I would say that these speakers have the same sound quality as the jbl on stage, and are truly portable(can be played without a power outlet, I love that feature). The only downside is the remote which requires a line of sight. Its not a big deal for me. The main thing I was looking for was sound quality!Customer Review: Good sound, great portability
Summary: 5 Stars
Although the sound is NOT the equivalent of the Bose or iM7, it is indeed very good. It cannot produce the pronounced bass of the iM7 I returned (due to a broken door), but it does have decent bass, acceptable volume, and a generally good sound for such a small system.
The portability factor more than makes up for this, since if I want huge sound for a party, I have plenty of real speakers hooked up to my receiver. The chargeable battery is a great feature, since I no longer have to hunt around for eight D batteries (for the iM7) when my kids want to take the music outside. Also the remote is much better than the iM7.
The value of this product is also outstanding. I paid $100 less for it than for the iM7. It comes with a great carrying case to protect it. I don't care that the adapter doesn't fit, because if I am using it for travel, it would always be packaged with other luggage anyway. Overall, awesome product.
