All good but the on off switch,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Altec Lansing Orbit MP3 Portable Speaker System (Electronics)
It was all what I expected, but the on off switch is a little hard to use.
It is like opening a sweets can, rotating with both hand the top border and the base in oposite directions. Once you have it in your hands you will see what I mean.

Good sound, but very hard to turn off and on,
This review is from: Altec Lansing Orbit MP3 Portable Speaker System (Electronics)
I'll start with the pros.
1) It's very useful for getting the music to the people at a gathering. 2) It's compact, so you could carry it in your pocket as you play your music (like theme music). 3) It has quite good sound for something as inexpensive as this (if you wait a moment or two, you'll find Woot or buy.com with special deals on these--$10 is quite a bit for just one). The cons 1) It's a monsta trying to turn these off and on. My man before me is accurate in his description. I feel as if I'm fixin' to break it every time I go to flip the switch (pun intended). 2) Be careful with opening the battery compartment. The little plastic helpful in turning "door" is quite tiny-fingered-capable--grown men will have issues. So, if possible, use the little sticky circle things on the bottom to turn. 3. Always carry an extra set of batteries (or tape some to the side of this thing), because when it gets low, the static can be quite annoying. Overall, I gave it a three-star rating; mind you, I think I got 2 for $14, so for what it's worth, I got a pretty sweet deal. But definitely not $10 per (and I don't even believe taxes/shipping has been included in that.

The On/Off switch can be fixed!,

This is a great little speaker in every way once you free-up the switch. Gently, using a dull table knife, pry the silver ring (that separates the grill from the black body of the speaker)off, and remove the speaker grill. Lubricate the inside of the silver ring and the outside top of the black plastic body with a piece of bar soap. That's right, just rub the soap inside the ring and outside the body, put it all back together, and you're done. It takes about 3 minutes, if you're slow, to completely fix the switch problem! Also these speakers can be used 2-at-a-time for stereo. All you need is a stereo splitter that plugs into your music source (MP3 player, etc.). The splitter looks like a "Y" and is available at Radio Shack or almost any electronics store. I have been back-packing for over 40 years, and these rugged, little speakers are the finest thing for back-country music that I have ever seen.
