I bought this after looking at much more expensive options. I wanted something to take to the pool, or beach for background/secondary music listening.. And.. this product will not disappoint for such use. It has much better than expected sound, and lots of features. For starters, my Sony MP3 and headphones fit nicely inside this speaker (zips up, and has a pocket inside to hold your MP3). So, as many have said, it carries and it protects your devise (has a clip for your bag, belt or whatever). Also, at this price, you can afford to toss it around a bit and not worry over it. I have had several friends, who have expensive speakers, and said they like mine. The batteries have lasted a really long time (I assume that they use little power, since your MP3 has it's own power source). So, you won't go through many batteries. I've used mine for several hours (6-12), and still have a bright red battery life indicator light. This speaker does a superb job for background music, and the sound is great for this type of use. I turn my MP3 up about 2/3 of full volume and I can hear music nicely from about 5-15 feet. You should note that this will not compare to a boom-box style radio's sound, and this will not produce big enough sound for folks to dance to, as that's not it's purpose. However, it does produce very nice sound with good bass for close to mid-range patio, or pool listening. It's also fairly loud for it's size (I would estimate about 2/3 as loud your clock radio turned up full-blast, but with a bit better bass response, and a bit better sound quality. You could also store small jewelry and cash etc inside with your MP3/Phone.
On the downside... who could complain for $10. But, if I have to, a larger phone or MP3 might not fit inside this speaker (for carry). So, you might use this with the slimmer version IPODS etc. I still think it's worth it no matter what. It would be nice if there were an external volume switch, and a water-proof design on this. I've taken mine to the pool, and it's been splashed and still works fine. I doubt it would take a large splash though, but think it would protect your devise from damage. Still, for just $10, what do you expect? Hopefully, they will produce even better versions of this speaker, as I would like a larger one with the above
add-ons.
For the price, this speaker will perform with others which are 2-3 times more expensive. And, this unit is more portable with no need to plug it in. You will not be dissapointed at this purchase! I would have paid $20-30 for this speaker and feel it's nearly perfect for it's intended use (not to mention it's price)!

This item is very light and sounds fairly decent as long as the volume isn't all the way up. When it is up too high it gets a bit distorted as you might guess with a unit so inexpensive. But really not bad at all for the money and projects the sound a good distance away even when not at full volume. Not a lot of bass response but what do you expect for this price. One thing that is a little annoying is that you really can't get to the controls of the Ipod when it is fit into the little half net where it's supposed to sit inside the unit. If you plan on changing the songs constantly, then this might annoy you. But set it to play with a playlist and it's all cool. Overall a great little product for the small price. I found it at Best Buy for only $9.99 though.
This speaker is great for the price and size!
The first thing I'd like to talk about is the product quality and design. This product is actually a carrying case with two speakers on the outside and is larger than I expected from the photo (4 in. X 7 in.). The case is somewhat hard and will protect your source device from falls. It takes two AA batteries that you install by unzipping the case and removing the battery cover on the side of the case where the speakers are located. Inside the case there is enough room to fit a generation 2 full sized iPod. There is an additional pocket on the inside part of the aft case to secure the source device. To connect the speakers to the device there is a stereo plug similar to ones used in for iPod headphones. The speakers themselves are protected by a plastic bar that crosses over the top of them (which will allow little fingers to push on them so if you have kids you will not want them playing with this case). You can attach the speaker case to anything you'd like with the sturdy clasp. My wife has her's hanging off of her jogging stroller when she takes the babies while jogging.
The sound of these speakers exceeded my expectations for such a low price. Now they are not high fidelity speakers but they will sound the same as any desktop computer speaker system that does not have a sub-woofer. These speakers blow away any laptop speakers that I have heard so far (much clearer and louder). With the volume set on these speakers as high as they will go without distorting it will actually leave your ears ringing if held up next to your ears (assuming you don't attend rock concerts daily). The battery life for this product is pretty good as well. My wife has had it about a month with listening to it for about 20-hours and we still haven't had to replace the batteries.
Overall this is a great product if your looking for something more than the laptop speakers or pre-installed speakers built into jogging strollers. - Speakers - Small Speakers - Case - Ipod'
