2.0 out of 5 stars Eh..., December 1, 2007

Don't listen to the people who complain about the 'lack of sound' from these speakers; aside from the lack of bass, they sound essentially identical to your average one-piece radio unit. I used them with my iPod Nano at work, and they were loud enough for me to hear them fairly clearly all the way on the other side of the building. The fact that I neither needed to plug them in, nor pay the absolutely outrageous amount of money Apple wants for iPod speakers, even if they do have matching fascias and color-identical whatnot was just icing on the cake.

So why the two star review? I was very happy with the sound I got from these; however, they broke within two months of regular use. As I said, I used them at work, so they were being used every single day. In about two months, the right speaker completely failed. With only one speaker, the unit becomes much harder to hear anywhere, and since the iPod Nano has no way to set its sound output to 'mono' from 'stereo', every song sounds bizarre and surreal, with half of its output missing.

That being said, it may be useful for 'casual' use, or to leave them immobile on a surface. But this unit won't stand up to heavy usage.

Way better than my laptop (500m) speaker and for $4 you can't really beat it... seems plenty loud to me. And they're kinda cute :)

This is an okay product if you want to have speakers for your iPod, but don't want to buy the more expensive stuff. You get good sound quality, it's cheap, and it's very portable. They're very quiet though, so you won't quite rock the house, but you'll be able to hear it.
