4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Good Folding Speakers - Recommended!, February 25, 2010

These Portable Speakers are a surprisingly good value for decent quality portable speakers! There are many sellers rebranding these. We own two sets (black) and I am very pleased with the performance of the these compact speakers, especially at the low price these sell for here on Amazon. Here are my observations:

Pros:
+ Folding; these have a very clever design that allows them to fold in to a small cube for easy transporting
+ Good Sound; produces fairly good sound at all but the highest volume levels (see "Cons", below), at least to my untrained ear
+ Universal Connector; the unit uses a standard mini connector, so this can be used with all of MP3 players
+ Power Options; comes with a USB power cable or it can use 4 x AAA batteries. You can also use a 6v DC power supply (not included)

Cons:
- Bad Instructions; like many products of this type the instructions manual is lacking and, in this case, erroneously lists the power requirements as AC when it should be DC.
- Distortion; at maximum audio levels this sounds pretty bad

Misc:
* iTouch and larger MP3 Plays might not fit as well as others in this (see my picture in "Customer Images"), but they will still work if they have a mini audio jack
* On the iTouch, I found the best sound quality by setting the iTouch volume to about 3/4 max and then making adjustments on the unit's volume wheel

Overall, these are a fantastic value for a set of good quality speakers that have the advantage of being able to fold up for easy carrying!

Recommended!

Love this product. I take it to the beach and work and it's loud enough to hear over neighbors. It's small enough to throw in my pocketbook or workbag. And it works so easily with my Zune and friends Ipod. I've recommended others to get these speakers as well.

I purchased the more expensive model- newly redesigned($15)thinking the usb charger would have a wall adapter . The usb charger only plugs into a usb port. Buy the cheeper model that I've seen for $5-$10.
