I purchased this speaker because I wanted a way to listen to my mp3 player that did not require headphones, or a large gadget, or running through endless batteries. I agree with previous reviewers that it is not very loud-but then what would one expect from such a little device? It has terrific stereo sound quality and is quite adequate if you're sitting in a quiet room. It's great virtue is that it is just as portable as the mp3 player, and the battery is tiny and rechargeable. Do not buy this device to increase the volume of computer speakers - for that I use my JBL On-Tour, which works quite well. But if you want an alternative to headphones that is just as portable for use in a quiet room - stop looking and buy this.

Macally's TurboTune speakers pack a big punch in a small package. For $29.99 you get pocket size stereo speakers for you iPod or anything else with an audio jack that has great sound quality.

The speaker runs on a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and comes with a USB charging cable. It is about 3 inches by 1 inch by 1/2 inch. The Macally website says you should get about eight hours of continuous play. I lost count after TWENTY!

As I said earlier the sound quality is great. You would never believe that type of sound could come out of such a small speaker. Is it hi-end quality speaker sound that you would pay hundreds of dollars for? No, but you won't be disappointed for your money.

My only complaint is the location of the audio jack. It is in the center of the speaker. I would fit better on an iPod if it was off center so that most of the speaker sits over the iPod instead of hanging off of it.

Other than that one design complaint, that's about all there is to say. A quick review for a great product. If you are in the market for inexpensive speakers for your iPod these should definitely be considered.

Wow! When I first ordered this speaker I did'nt think much of it (already having 3 different brands) that were'nt that loud. Was I ever surprised. The Macally Turbotune is by far the most impressive and loudest.It stays charged most of the day and is very easy to carry either connected or disconnected.I suggest this speaker for anyone who wants to be liberated from earbuds and share their music with the masses.
