Great sound quality, lacks features
As a plain set of portable battery-amplified speakers, the full-range sound quality is excellent for this price. It only lacks in frequencies below ~250Hz, so it won't rattle any windows.
However, the power switch is inside the zippered case, and there is no volume dial at all. Making any adjustments requires opening the case first. As such, I don't recommend using this for activities that keep your hands constantly busy.
A great product overall, if you know what you want and are aware of the tradeoff (unbeatable price but few features).
unbeatable for the price
My husband bought me this as a gift to go with my Creative Zen X-Fi. It has a hard shell case that protects the player when it's tossed inside my bag and I'm out and about. The speaker quality - for the size - is quite good, and I'm surprised at the clarity. (The speakers from this far surpass the speaker in the X-Fi unit itself, although that's a feature Creative is pushing.) Inside the case there's a wire that plugs in to your headphone jack for the player, keeping all the cords tucked away inside. The major con is that the on/off switch is inside, and there's no way to change the volume or track or turn it on or off without opening the case up. However, that's not really a big deal if you're doing things anyway - set up a playlist and let it go.
For the price this is a great little case.
amazing little speaker
I was very surprised to hear the quality of the sound on this cute little speaker. I bought it at Kohl's for 8.49 and thought I would use it for going to the park or riding my bike. It sounds so great that my husband asked me if he could have it. So back to Kohl's for another one. It uses 2 AA batteries, which probably don't last a really long time, so we plan to use our rechargable batteries which are cheaper and better on the environment.
