 Great little product at a great price! June 9, 2006

I was looking for a speaker system for my ipod mini for an upcoming holiday, and I bought this item on the strength of the reviews I read here. I was not dissapointed either!! - it's quite remarkable how much power this unit can generate. The clarity is very, very good, and although the bass end is obviously not the beefiest (compared to a proper hifi unit) it does deliver a good punch, and the bass is still very evident, and retains very good solidity.
The volume controls are very easy to use, and I can't quite understand any complaints about them - you simply tap on them repeatedly to incrementally change the level up or down. The unit is solid, and a little heavier than i anticipated, but that can only helps the bass end I think, and there are no rattles when playing at high volumes, and let me tell you, this can really kick it out, but realistically, you'd probably only use it at half to 3/4 volume for a more than adequate volume for most uses.
Sound quality is retained at lower volumes also. The stereo image is adequate - the speakers are only 6" apart afterall!
I have noticed the same hiss that someone else mentioned (either on this or the white version), but have also noticed this is only when the screen on my mini dims! - I set it to not go off, and there is no hiss at all! - a quirk to be sure, but not enough for me to send it back, since it scores highly in all other aspects.
If you want a true hi-fi sound, then spend a few hundred on a hi-fi with big speakers and a quality amplifier, but if you want portability and power for your ipod, I think you'd be hard pressed to find a solution with comparable quality as cheap, and in fact, I have heard less quality from some hi-fi units to be honest.
Because of that small niggle on the hiss/screen dim, I would have given this item 4.5 stars, but given the value for money and overall high quality of the unit, it gets 5 from me!
Now - I wonder how many of these I could justify throughout the house.... ;)

I bought these for use on holiday with my IPod Video. Not only were they small enough to carry, the sound quality was fantastic, they can be turned up very loud with little or no bass distortion and they charge the IPod in no time at all.
I have used them on a daily basis since returning from our hoilday and would say that these are fantastic value for the price. You will not be disappointed in the quality that they produce.

I wanted this as a simple speaker system to use when travelling so I don't have to rely on headphones all the time. I hoped it would be loud enough to fill a small room but beyond that I had quite low expectations of sound quality etc. However, it has really surprised me. It goes loud enough to fill a large room with no problem and the sound quality is excellent for its size. It is not too 'tinny' and is very pleasant to listen to. It works brilliantly with both my mini ipod and my ipod photo. It is not as small as some folding speakers but the sound quality and volume is far superior to the folding speakers I owned previously.

I bought these so we could all listen to my iPod on holiday. The speakers are powerful enough to fill a large room with clear and crisp sound and as an added bonus the iPod is recharged at the same time. The mains power supply is the heaviest part of the kit while the speakers are compact,stylish and well built. Highly recommended.

Great product, I was about to go out and spend a fortune on Bose speakers but these are a fantastic purchase particularly for the keen price. While they are not home stereo speakers they can definately be compared to them. Awesome clean sound and can be heard from a distant.
Best part is your ipod gets fully charged while you listen, so you can grab it on the way out the door.
To sum up, if your looking for speakers these are the ones unless you dont mind spending a few hundred on Bose speakers.
