4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good volume, March 12, 2009

I bought this to use in somewhat louder situation where my MacBook's speakers don't cut it (which, admittedly, is just about anytime I'm not in a totally silent room). It does a pretty good job for that purpose. In a completely unscientific test I found it to be somewhere around twice the volume. The sound quality drops quickly after about 2/3 total volume though. For voice (podcasts in my case) it was still listenable though. The ability to power the speakers from a free USB port on my MacBook is super convenient! Not having batteries in it keeps it very light, lighter than my iPhone (are you detecting a theme here? Yeah, I'm an apple user) in fact. 4 Stars for volume and convenience. Would have been 5 if it was a little better quality sound, but for $18 I can't complain. See the photos I submitted above for some better angles and detail than the stock one.

2.0 out of 5 stars NO AC adapter, August 18, 2009

These are perfectly acceptable speakers. I use them for audible books. There is no volume control, that must be supplied by your mp3 player. However, the description is deceptive and you should be warned. Despite saying AC-Adapter, there is NO AC adapter. You will need to buy one, so you should figure these $17.95 speakers will cost you about $30 if you intended to use them with the AC Adapter which is specified in the description.

They are very good $15 speakers. They aren't very good $30 speakers, so you might try something else if you intend to make use of the AC Adapter.

4.0 out of 5 stars good speakers, July 16, 2009

I also have the 3rd gen ipod nano-so I had to buy the cable to play it-($6.72 with tax at target for 6ft length)
the unit itself is 9.99 at best buy.
yes at high volumes it will distort-but each song is different volume-and the 3rd gen ipod nano has a EQ on it-so I can change if I want to (rock, small speakers, etc.)-which reduces distortion. the battery compartment is hard to open.
also I use it my boat-set it against the windshild on the center console-and the sound bounces off-sounds very good.
