5.0 out of 5 stars Great portable speakers, November 30, 2009

I purchased these speakers for $50 at Best Buy; I hadn't discovered Amazon.com at that time. But the money didn't go to waste! These speakers are very portable and have an amazing sound quality. I especially like the bass that these speakers pack. CAN BE PLAYED AT HIGH VOLUMES WITHOUT SOUND DISTORTION!

Pros:
-full, crisp sound quality (including bass!)
-two available power sources (AC or 3 AAA batteries)
-small & portable

Cons:
-wires get tangled & can become confusing

The pros clearly outweigh the cons. I would buy these again if they ever failed me (which they haven't in the 5 months I've had them!). Definitely a good buy.

*UPDATE* 12/16/2010
The speakers are still going strong; they sound just like they did when I purchased them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great quality for the price and size, February 15, 2009

I researched and researched different sites for speakers that would work in my office. I did not want a tinny sound and wanted sleek looking and discreet speakers. These are perfect!! The sound is very impressive for their size and produce a good sound and volume for an office. Of course they aren't meant to be your main speakers for your home system but in a kitchen, office, or by the bathtub...great!!!! They aren't tinny and don't distort and I can crank the volume and bass sometimes. So I would highly recommend anyone buy these speakers. In fact, I may get a second set for my office at home.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good sound quality, wires drive me nuts, March 12, 2010

These are overall good portable speakers, but not excellent.

Pros:
1. Excellent sound quality. Almost too much bass. A very balanced sound, not tinny at all. Not fatiguing at all. Also it NEVER crackles or hisses.
2. Very decent battery life. I would guesstimate 5 hours. Also when the batteries die, instead of the sound quality dimming, it totally cuts out. I prefer it this way, as I'd rather have good sound or no sound. Alot of small speakers have the sound slowwwwwly die down.
3. Very attractive. Built-in, if unintuitive, cord management.

Cons:
1. Sound is very loud, but not BOOMING loud. Or put another way, it can't be turned up to uncomfortably loud. (Sorry if that's vague.)
2. The cords are a pain. It does have a cord-management system to keep things neat, but it's unintuitive at first, and cumbersome always.
3. Batteries last around 5 hours. I would have hoped for 15-20 hours in an ideal world. I guess that's the trade-off for the loud sound.
