Great speakers!
I guess the secret is out! When I purchased these they cost me including shipping. I was surprise with how quickly I recieved them. Very Fast shipping. I bought a second set to give to my daughter. Great speakers!
Amazing little speaker
I'm amazed at the sound from this little speaker. I wanted something to use in my camper for background music and this thing more then fulfills my needs. Compact and amazing sound for something so small. If your looking for something with big base and loud sound, then obviously this is not for you. If I had a negative, the audio cord is to short, if this was a problem you could always get an extension. I will be curious how long the batteries will last.
Great speaker, but dead after 6 months
I like these speakers, very portable. I carry it around with me easily when I travel. The volume can be turn up to very loud. I never have to turn it all the way up. I got these because my laptop speakers are not loud enough. I mainly use it to watch Movie or TV show online. And they serve the purpose. However, after 6 months, they're dead now. Because the wire that comes out of the speaker to plug into your computer is flimsy. The connection has been loose for a couple months, but I was able to manuever it to get it to work, but now it doesn't work at all anymore. So if you think it's worth the money to buy this and use it for 6 months. Then I would recommend it.
Good sound, poor construction, no rechargables
The speakers are perfect in sound quality. I'm no audio geek requiring a huge stereo system. It's nice to plug into the laptop (and it can power itself by USB) and watch some episodes with or bring to the beach to have some music.
However, it's very easy to accidentally close it on the cord and cause damage.
The battery case is very difficult to close and almost impossible to open once you have it closed.
It will not run on my rechargable batteries. This sucks! All my other electronics work fine with rechargables.
got what I paid for....but they're dead now.
I bought these a year ago, to take to the park with me. They sound alright, and the volume is ok. But despite being very careful with them, especially about putting the cord away properly, they're now basically dead. They cut in and out, and the problem is at the base of the cord.
Other thoughts:
-no battery indicator - plus, the 'on' light requires so little power that the light comes on even when there isn't enough power to run the speakers. I advise always carrying a spare set of batteries with you.
-you always need to turn the volume up each time you use them, as they start at the lowest volume
I suppose I got what I paid for. But I just hoped that they would last longer, especially considering that I take good care of my things.
