I was just looking for something small to provide background noise (not even tolerable music) that I could carry to the beach and not be concerned about destroying it. But, this thing didn’t even meet my very low expectations. This thing is not work the cost even if the shipping is free. One of the speakers doesn’t work at all. To get it to turn on, you have to wiggle the switch to just the right spot. The sound quality is awful.
The only positive thing is the size.

This item isn’t what is pictured on the site. Additionally, it says it comes with a computer cable (which is why I bought this one for a few more bucks)…IT DOESN’T HAVE THE CABLE. Their return policy makes YOU pay for shipping even if the item isn’t what they have on the website. They have not returned my email request for a solution to their error. If you like to gamble, their items are cheap and sometimes they work. But don’t expect much from the company.
You would do better at Big Lots or the Dollar Tree…you get the same quality but know exactly what you are buying.

Straight to the point:
-Speakers have any amazingly rediculously cheap price
-Good compact design
Be warned, however
-Sound quality-especially on bass- is abysmal
This style ipod and MP3 speaker has currently become really popular and is sold by tens of different manufacturers on Amazon alone.
Simply put, all these speakers are cheap: in price and quality
The main and greatest incentive to buy this speaker or any similar type is the incredibly low price which is infact incredibly low.
Before purchasing this, however, be warned that the sound quality is abysmal. The speaker cannot play bass sounds. Anything above halfmax volume will sound horrible. For a good example of how your music will sound through these speakers, play around with your media players equalizer by throwing the sliders all over the place.
The speaker does look cool with the huge metal center plate. The problem is, the soft spot around it, the diaphragm is almost non-existent. Thus, it is unable to play bass sounds.
These speakers are cheap, but they definately will not sound good. Especially on songs that feature strong or any bass. You won’t want to listen to your music.

The sound through these is terrible. They’re worse than a bad clock radio with poor FM reception. The only thing that will amaze you is that anything can make your iPod sound so BAD. I spent $8.99 (plus $7.46 S&H) on this product with an Amazon vendor, and ended up tossing it in the garbage almost immediately.

I read the reviews and thought to myself if it is a POS then I only lost 5 dollars. I did.
The construction of the product is not bad and it is simple to use. The sound however was worse than my blown speakers in my JBL.
Sometimes you can hear the vocals to the song sometimes you can’t. It very spotty. Neat little gadget but not for any sort of good sound.
Hope this helps.
