5.0 out of 5 stars Great Speakers- Period...., October 2, 2009

One of the best sounding and looking portable speakers with an iPod dock.

1. Style
- Bought these in Chrome... but all of them are VERY sleek and VERY stylish. The cylindrical tube shape does need a bit of getting used to, and the small size is a major plus for those on the go. The nifty remote control really tops it all off- which I might add: though stated on the manual that the remote is only effective up to about 10ft, I have successfully gotten them to work at about 30-35ft away.... and now the best part...

... 2. Sound!
These are one of the BEST sounding portable speakers availible, up there with the LG MSP-100 folding speakers, which is my personal favorite. Both speaker sets are VERY loud while retaining clarity, but the Skullcandy Pipes do have a bit more on the low end/bass tones.
Running either on the AC wall adapter or AAA battery option, these babies pump out a whopping 5.6 Watts max! (Pretty Good considering their size, the LG MSP-100's only pumped out 4 Watts.)

These DO tend to distort at high volumes, but it's mainly only the low's that cause it. The Mids and Highs are still somewhat clear, but the distortion of the Lows really just ruins the music at those volumes.

AUDIOPHILE REVIEW:
Now, these do have weak lows and decent mids and decent highs.

*****These tested to have a freq. range of: 50hz-20khz.*****

The sound is slightly better when plugged into the wall.
As expected, the sound is only decent while on battery power.

3. Overall Opinion
These are GREAT speakers for those wanting to replace that boombox/radio sitting on their desk at home or work, and for those who want to share their music while on the go- at a picnic, or just hanging out at a party on the beach! These speakers do pack quite a surprising punch despite thier decievingly small size. The $69.99 price tag Target and some other retailers give these DOES seem a bit high, but the lower prices seen on eBay and Amazon do make a BIT more sense though sometimes a bit too low. $45-$55 seems a bit more appropriate.

BOTTOM LINE: BUY THEM! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

4.0 out of 5 stars very nice unit, November 21, 2009

Really happy with this product. Great sound for the price. I'm very picky on sound quality, so generally I'd prefer to pay more for better sound--but for an easily portable unit, you can't beat this little gem. The sound is bright and impressive. Given the compact size it's no surprise the weakness is in the bass range, but the trebles are very good. The only disappointment I've had is the remote does not work until you get within a 5 foot range; at that point I can just push the buttons--so the remote is nearly worthless (hence 4 and not 5 stars). Ignore reviews that complain it does not work with the iPhone; it does (listening right now). Ignore the warning message asking to go to airplane as indicated in the instructions mode by checking "no." Also, the unit charges the iPod, which is a nice bonus.

What an awesome piece of equipment. It's no Bose for sure, but for as small as it is, and the price, can't be beat. The comments I've read about not being stable is not true. an auxiliary foot pad is in the box to give support to the rear. Clips right on the battery release button. Works well with my iPhone, although don't know if there will be interference with a call. the third party seller had the unit in my hand in 3 days from CA, can't beat that, and the shipping was free thru [...]. Very pleased and look forward to traveling with such a small, but high-performing item.
