I saw this in a department store and decided I had to have it. I ended up ordering it over the web and saved some money.

This is incredibly simple to work. Plug the cord into the unit. Plug the cord into an outlet. Plug your iPod into the unit and turn it on. The sound quality is amazing. The Maxxbass system gives a clear and rich sound. Usually with units this small the sound comes out rather tinny but that's not the case here. And don't be afraid to crank up the volume either.

When you plug the unit it to an outlet, it will charge your iPod while you're listening. I think it charges the battery faster then on my computer at home. But you can also use 4 AA batteries and play the unit that way. However it won't chage the iPod when using batteries for power.

On the back are additional jacks for a headphone, auxiliary outlet if you want to play another type of a device and a place to connect it to your computer.

This is a first rate unit that can be used anywhere and produces great and full sound.

WOW! I was looking for a compact portable speaker setup for my iPod for travel and the office. I freely admit I'm hooked on good quality sound - my listening room at home is cluttered with Mark Levinson, Bryston, Audio Research, Wilson WATT/Puppies, etc. I love good quality sound. I was looking for a "reasonable" portable listening experience for when I didn't want to use earphones.

This cute little gadget just blew me away. Bass is amazingly full and tight for such little speakers. Norah Jones just purrs. Wynton Marsalis' horn has that blatty brassiness I love.

Don't get me wrong - this would never be a primary system. But for what it's designed for, WOW! 4 AA batteries and an iPod and for 1 lb 10 oz including batteries and iPod, you've got a great traveling system. Give it a try.

This unit really has as impressive sound quality. Although I didn't have to chance to compare it side by side with other options, its price range is somewhat unique (under $100).

It's very portable too, once you close the box it's not larger than a medium sized book.

I have a few suggestions, if i may:

- The vendor should provide a 'cap' or 'cover' for the iPod connector. When the ipod is not connected, it can get dusted.

- The volume control should be a slider, since we cannot see the actual volume level. Or maybe a LED indicator should show it.

- We cannot 'tilt' the angle of the speakers because the connector is fixed in the base. Maybe it should 'basculate' a litte bit.

- There should be a 'belt' fastener or clipper (or something like that), to hold the iPod secure in its place. Once I thought about placing the unit over my car console on a long trip, but even if I secured the speakers, the iPod would drop out of its place, whenever the car passed over a bump.

- If this unit had a remote, it would be perfect... ;-)
