4.0 out of 5 stars Great backpack for the music lover!!!, August 13, 2009

This is a great backpack. I needed to get a backpack since I am going back to school. First thing is that the speaker is detachable. It also has pop out stands so you can stand it up. Its a great speaker for camping or going to the beach. The speaker is really good quality for something that only takes 3 AA batteries! There are several ways to hook it up.

First, you can put your MP3 player in the back of the speaker. You can do this while the speaker is attached or detached. It has its own headphone jack in the back and can be used entirely separately. That is the best feature about it.

Second, you can put your mp3 player directly in the front of the backpack in a clear pouch pocket on the strap. There is an extension with another headphone jack in the front. You can plug in either the headphone jack from the back into it, or a pair of headphones.

Pros:
-Great sounding portable speaker system
-lots of room in the backpack
-many storage compartments
-durable
-relatively light weight for a backpack with a built in speaker
-convenient places to put mp3 player.
-Detachable speaker is great
-a pretty good backpack for school, camping, or whatever you use a pack for.

Cons:
-No sternum strap. With so many backpacks having these today it is missed in this backpack simply because the sternum strap's purpose is to distribute the weight evenly. It is a missed necessity, but because of the big padding, it is tolerable without it.
-No place for a pair of headphones to stick out of the top. You have to make them come out of the zipper. It is more of a nitpicky thing, but would have been a nice addition.
-No volume control on the speaker itself. Probably save power this way, but if I could balance the speaker volume with the MP3 volume I can probably even better quality. The quality is still good though, I just like to be able to turn it up louder without the distortion and not having a volume control on the speaker itself does not enable me to do that.

All in all this is a good backpack. It has a very padded snug fit to it. There is a laptop pouch in it as well as many pouches and pencil holders. The speaker can be used with anything that takes a standard headphone jack so it works for portable DVD players, laptops, etc.... I have also tried out the speaker with all kinds of music from heavy metal, to hip hop, to smooth jazz, to country, and it really sounds good with all of them. Has a good bass for a 3 AA battery speaker! If your looking for a backpack and a portable speaker all at the same time, this saves you time and effort. Good buy and I would highly recommend it.

If you are looking for a backpack, this is an excellent choice. It serves its purpose, and has the added bonus of having a detachable speaker.

I was looking for a backpack and saw this exact backpack speaker at the Base Exchange for $59.99. I would have bought it there but they did not have one in black. I found a black one on Amazon for $38.99 and ordered it immediately. I received it in just 4 days.

This is a well made, quality backpack with many pockets. It has plenty of room for books, iPod or Smart Phone, computer, etc. The speaker requires 3 AA batteries and sounds great considering the size.

My wife saw the backpack, heard the sound, and wanted one as well. I ordered one for her today.

i got this backpack loving the speaker so did my friends when we hung around after school we would play our fave music.it lasted so long but i got caught in a few rain storms and the speaker finally went.but it's roomy and can hold all of my supplies and not give me that heavy feeling that hurts my shoulder.comfy all around.
