This review is from: Sony Transportable Speaker for iPod and MP3 Players (Electronics)
I travel a lot and love to be able to listen to music once I'm back in the hotel room. Before finding these speakers, the only options I had was to either lug my heavy & bulky iHome with me (which took up precious space in my bag) or listen to music via my headphones, which feels really weird when you're alone in a hotel room. So needless to say, these speakers were both a great find & purchase. You don't need a docking station in order to listen to your iPod. Once I opened the box, I was listening to my iPod within seconds. Great volume, great price, very compact, weighs less than a pound and can run off of three AAA batteries. If you're looking for a rich wall of sound, then this is not the item for you. The sound is on the tinny side and it also doesn't charge your mp3 player, so you will need a separate charger.
All in all, I wholeheartedly recommend these speakers for those looking a valued priced, entry level set of travel speakers.

I bought these for use with my iPod nano, because I teach classes away from the office and I wanted to be able to occasionally play a piece of music for the class. The size and style are great--they take three AAA batteries and also come with an AC adapter, plus they clip together for transportation--but unfortunately, small speakers mean small sound. I played a John Williams composition and the sound came out tinny, with almost no bass. It was a little better when I placed the two speakers as far apart as they would go (which is not far). Country fiddle music sounded better, but the quality was still not as good as I could get from my no-name $40 boombox. One more note: I bought mine on impulse at a big-box store, and then discovered that they were $2 cheaper on Amazon.

Sony should be ashamed to have their name associated with this product. It's absolute garbage. If I could have returned it without shipping fees, I would have, but as it is, I just considered it a $28.27 (with free shipping) lesson. The sound quality was far worse than most cheap PC speakers. "Tinny" would be an insult to tin. You can get far better sound for less or the same money. It's too bad, because I like their size and style.
