Chill Pill Mobile Speakers iPod/MP3 Players & Laptops
I bought these after reading a very positive review in one of the Mac magazines. Loved them right away. I use them mostly when I watch videos on my ipod or my larger, folding Sony dvd viewer. They are compact, and sound good-not good enough for stereophiles or high end music listening, but great for lo to medium-fi listening. They pack easily and the speaker bodies are rugged.
The charge lasts longer than they say it will, I commonly got 10 hours from each charge. Couldn't use them with my portable radio (eton), it buzzed miserably. Can't have it plugged into the electric outlet and listen to it plugged into any device-buzzes badly. I can live with this, however, since can just about always plan my charging times based on my needs.
Unfortunately, my relative delight with the speakers has been squashed. After about 6 months of frequent, but careful use, the wires and connections all became useless and NO sound comes out at all. I am not rough on products, in fact, I tend to respect them quite a bit, and handle them with TLC. The cord retraction was great at first (very handy!), but it got consistently worse over time, until the cords no longer retracted at all, the caps of the cords fell off, and any slight movement of the cords began to lead to crackling/dropping sound coming from the speakers. They are now completely useless.
Also. the charge light doesn't no longer comes on when it's plugged in, though the speakers seem to have charged anyway. Who can tell, as NO sound comes out!
I'd like to give the product four stars, but due to complete product breakdown after 6 months of normal use, I'm going to go down all the way to 2. If they can make the cords more rugged and reliable, this product could really rock.

First things first: Don't expect high fidelity sound out of these tiny speakers - this product is all about convenience. Everything needed to operate the device stays with it, including the audio cables and built in rechargeable battery.
The only exception, and this is a big one, is that the USB charging functionality requires a separate and easy-to-lose mini-usb gender changing cable (included in the box). It's simply not possible to plug the device directly into a computer without some sort of adapter or additional cable. Most computers don't have a mini-usb connector.
That disappointment aside, these are very innovative portable speakers. I hope the manufacturers will find a way to integrate the charging cable into future versions.

I searched forever to find inexpensive portable speakers that I could throw in my bag and not have to worry about. I needed something that didn't require a power outlet (self-powered) plus they had to work with my MacBook Air and first generation iPhone without any adapters (silly recessed headphone jacks). The Chill Pill speakers fit the bill perfectly. For their incredibly small size, they can really belt out some toons. They charge via USB so I can use my computer or iPhone/iPod USB adapter to recharge them and I don't have to carry any extra power cables. Plus the Chill Pill's cables retract back into the speakers, so there are no cords to coil or untangle. The cables are even shielded from interference so I don't have to put my iPhone in airplane mode to use them.
I've bought 5 pairs of Chill Pill speakers, two for me and the rest for gifts. One set hangs out in my kitchen so I can listen to podcasts and music off my iPhone. The other is always in my laptop bag for watching movies on the road and making boring hotel rooms feel a little more like home. Since these speakers are cheap, it was easy to recommend them for my sister's vacation to Mexico because it wouldn't be a big deal if they went missing during the trip.
If you're the type of music listener who notices the sound quality differences between CD tracks and MP3 files, you'll probably want higher-end speakers than these to faithfully reproduce every note. If you're like me and just want something easy to use that can blast some tunes, I highly recommend the Chill Pill mobile speakers.
