ALMOST what I hoped for...September 17, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
At first I could not get much sound from this speaker so I thought it was practically useless. Then I realized that because I have a plastic cover on my iPod, the cover was not allowing the speaker stem to go fully into the iPod (as the earphones do). In order to get decent sound, I have to remove the cover each time - an inconvenience but at least the product does work - and before I discovered the 'cover factor' I thought I had ordered a bad product overall. I wish they had made the contact stem longer so I did not have to remover the cover.
no soundJune 9, 2008 sound is so low to be inaudible. Do not recommend buying this, I threw it away.
Great Speaker for ChildrenMay 4, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a perfect speaker for my son's ipod. He's almost 3 and we use the ipod (loaded with his favorite movies) to help pass the time at restaurants, traveling, shopping, ect. It's just loud enough for him to hear it and it's never bothered anyone else. I love that the speakers do not use any other battery source but the ipod. And it doesn't drain the ipod battery very fast --a huge plus. The price is perfect--buy two, as these aren't the most sturdy speakers. I've had to repair mine with a little super glue, but it's still going strong.
HORRIBLE!!!March 28, 2008 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is probably one of the WORST products I've bought in a LONG time! It should be something found in a dollar store -- no joke!
PROS: - No batteries needed - Smaller than a bread box
CONS: - No volume (earbuds laying on the table could produce as much sound) - Much larger than it seems in pics - Dangerous to the delicate jack on your MP3 player
After reading many of the reviews on here where people complained about the low volume, I thought they probably just had high expectations. I went into it with very low expectations. I expected that this thing would not get any louder than the speaker on a cheap cell phone. However, this thing is SO LOW that my earbuds can produce as much sound from as far away. I can put this up against my ear at full volume and it's still barely loud. I typically keep my volume restricted at about 75% on my iPod. I had to unrestrict it and crank it up to 100% to hear sound in a quiet room. Once you pass about the 80% mark on an iPod, these speakers crackle (but still don't give you enough sound). I am convinced that the company used the cheapest speakers they could find. I know that the speaker in my cell phone is about 10 times louder, eventhough it's about 1/4 of the size of each of these two speakers.
The size of this piece of junk is actually much larger than it appears in photos. It's about 4.24"w x 1.5"d x .75"h. It could have very easily been about half of its size (the housing is just a big empty cavity).
The jack is mounted rigidly (no swivel, etc.). So, it's always sticking out and when plugged into your MP3 player, it will act as a huge lever, applying force that can easily break the solder points on your MP3 player's audio jack.
I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS PRODUCT! All I wanted was to listen to podcasts through this thing with my iPod on the table right next to my keyboard -- this isn't going to cut it, at all!
