We use this in our kitchen and to have a 'stereo' in our camper. It is just great. It is very easy to use (just plug it in and your ipod in the slot). It recharges my ipod also... so I don't have to keep hooking it up to the computer. The sound is really good for such a little set and is ideal for using in the kitchen, bedroom or bathroom -- where you may want to have some music, but don't need the full monty. It comes with the AC cord (a nice feature) and multiple plugs that 'slide' onto the adapter -- so you can take it overseas and use it on AC.. it also runs on batteries.

I paid about $35 for this device -- for that price, this unit is a great value. It works well with both my iPod Nano and my iPod Touch. When plugged in to AC power, the unit charges the iPod while it's in the dock. An input jack on the back of the speaker allows you to connect a device other than an iPod. In fact, when I first bought this unit (August 2006 - and it's still going strong!) it was for use with a minidisc player; it worked just as well with that device as it does with the iPods. I've also used it with my laptop and an Edirol R09 recorder. The unit fits easily in my laptop case, making it great for travel. As you might expect in such a small speaker, the sound isn't exactly window-rattling. However, I frequently use this speaker out on my screen porch, and the sound is more than sufficient for a little background music.

While the sound equality isn't great overall, it is great when you consider the size. This product is extremely simple to use; plug it into the wall (or put in batteries), plug in your iPod, turn it on, and you're good to go.

For the price it's hard to beat.

I tracked this item down because I already had owned one for years and loved it. I was elated to find it on Amazon at such a great price. It is made for the iPod mini, but I play my 3rd and 5th generation nanos on it too. (It won't charge the 5th generation) Super-portable with great sound, I just love this little stereo! It always comes on trips with me!

I was surprised when I received these speakers. They are so much more than I expected! They are easy to put in a bag and go; easy to set up anywhere there is an outlet. I'm overjoyed.
Thanks, Anna

The iPod portable sound system exceeds my every expectation. I don't know how they did it, but the sound quality is more than excellent. While the volumn will not fill a room, it is more than adaquate. I only wish it would also recharge the iPod.

so far so good, my sons plays them all the time both pluged in and portable, and he loves them.

I tried thse speakers from two different sellers-I would not recommend this item for anyone-if you are looking for a 'portable stereo system' and do not have a stereo hook up for your car-get a new stereo that is ipod ready-do not purchase this item if you do- you will be disapointed. The speakers have a short in them-will play for a couple of seconds and then quits.
