5.0 out of 5 stars A fine level of sound quality from "tiny", April 2, 2007

First, let me confirm the other reviewers comments that the color isn't as shown. It's not, but it only matters if you're truly attempting to match to a specific pink shade. They're pink, but it's a dark pink.

What matters is that these tiny speakers sound reasonably powerful and accurate. In general, larger speakers can move more air than small ones, so smaller ones have to work harder especially in the bass range. These speakers are absolutely tiny, so to simply avoid sounding tinny, overstressed and distorted at moderate sound levels would be a victory. The Vivid 60 does this quite well, producing low to moderate sound levels with reasonably wide range to be satisfying. You can't expect a miracle with something this small, but look, these things actually have a hint of bass, and the mid and upper ranges are fairly smoothly reproduced. Vocals are clean, and I haven't found any nasty resonances as I have with other plastic encased systems. I doubt you'll do any better than these without going to a larger size, they are simply well optimized. Treble dispersion is not great, so you'll want these close to you for best sound, within 3 or 4 feet and pointing directly toward you. I bought them for my wife to use while she gets ready in the morning, and she's delighted, uses 'em everyday. They fit easily on a small bathroom wall shelf among the many toiletries and perfumes, blending in as though they belong there. They are usually driven by an iPod. If you must have the smallest, this is definitely a good choice in a very small powered speaker. Just pick your color.

Speakers sound great for the price and size. They are as described (although it was difficult to tell size from the picture/description). They arrived in a timely fashion. Couldn't ask for more than that!

5.0 out of 5 stars ADORABLE!, June 16, 2007

I love these speakers! The first ones I got blew out almost immediately (you've got to turn it up loud enough to drown out your teenager's music to be able to get your own groove on).

But I received the replacements from Amazon before I even shipped the blown ones back and these have held up for months! And did I mention they're adorable??
