When I first received this backpack from Amazon, I was elated to know that I could continue biking and skating to school across busy roads without the hinderance of earphones. Placing the batteries into the amp and connecting my mp3 player, I brought my new backpack upstairs to share with my roomates. Immediately, they were impressed with the quality and sound eminating from such a tiny amplifier with equally small speakers. However, as I moved the backpack, the sound of static grew in the sound, adding pops and clips with every motion of my backpack. Worried, I disconnected all of the wires, double-checking all of the connections to make sure that a faulty connection wasn't the problem. When I had finally convinced myself that a bad connection wasn't the case, I notified Amazon and had a replacement sent to me.

Unfortunately, the same thing happened with my replacement. Although the amplifier is capable of producing robust sound for its small size, it unfortunately has quality issues with the speaker connection plugs. Although I love the concept, I wish the actual product lived up to my expectations?

Wow, mine works great, the quality if excellent. Strong material, great protection for mp3 player or media player. My speakers are fine. Nice projection and clarity at about 80%. I wouldn't go higher it gets distorted. Overall I'm really happy. I have a media player with little speakers and this is perfect for an average size room. Plus I fit my camera, accesories, two other small bags inside and I can fit plent of magazines or a couple books in the front compartment.

It is a neat idea.

One I was willing to spend 9.99 to decide if I liked.

I do not feel that it is a bad buy for 10. My problem is with volume. It is ok if you are still and it is near you. But on your back and moving it is more of elevator music then something to hear.

Really cool item for the money. Great for beach or picnic. Holds a laptop with plenty of extra room.

I purchased this for 9.99 when it was on sale. We use it for almost everywhere we go. To the beach and family outings. The sound is great for the price we paid. I can honestly say the backpack is sturdy as well.Great buy for 10 bucks

Got this for 2 reasons - looked like the perfect bag - amazon had these for about 75% off including free shipping.
Sounds pretty good volume is low but expected for 4 AAA batteries - the bag was a little smaller like a kids backpack. I'm 6'3" and 250 lbs so it was a little snug but was pretty good for packing daytrip beach stuff. Now the kids use it.
All and all for the price of a book bag you get speakers amp and a volume control on the shoulder strap which was an added bonus.
I didn't pay much for it and in my opinion it more than payed for itself

Got my order in just before they sold out....gotta say, I was surprised at the great quality (durablity) and sound coming from the flat panel speakers. For the price I paid (a third of MSRP), it is an unbeatable gadget. Haven't had any problems with the speaker connections either. All in all, a great buy!

Since I'm the first to write about this product, I'll try to give a good description. This backpack is amazing. The speakers are actual speakers that you can take out of the backpack and use. There is actually bass, which I thought there wouldn't be ( there isn't that much, so it works best with anything with an extra bass equalizer). The backpack in general is just a daily commute kind of backpack, with decent space. I have no idea why it can be found under mp3 player, oh, and it runs of 4 AAAs (the description doesn't include that). All in all, a great backpack for a great price.
