I've been looking for a convenient way to play music from my Tungsten T without headphones and this is it. I've looked at other portable speakers, but there were too many wires to them. The sound quality is quite good, it won't fill a room; but for personal listening or a small gathering of friends it works great. It takes three AAA batteries which seem to last quite awhile, I haven't had to change the batteries yet(it's been about three weeks since I've had it-but I don't use it continuously). The only thing missing is something to boost the bass, then again it's not designed to replace a boombox. There is another version with only one speaker built in, but it holds half the CD's. I only gave 4 stars because of the bass, it's still great addition to my collection of CD player, PDA, and MP3 player. Now if they could only come up with one with a multi-player connector...

I wasn't expecting much from such a gimmicky product, but so far it's really delivered.

*** OK Sound Fidelity
**** Good Volume for size
***** Cool & functional form, integrated into CD case
***** Solid Build Quality
**** Overall, at the price I paid, I give it 4+ stars

It's easy to overdrive these, but resist the temptation and they'll sound fine. In fact, they sound WAY BETTER and 3-5 times louder than my laptop's built-in speakers(which I used to think where OK, but couldn't play a DVD loud enough for everyone to hear when visiting family at the hospital--a very noisy hospital).
At MSRP, guess I might have to think twice about it... but for ten less(which is what I paid) they're great!

Speakers have good mids and highs(for the price), doing a nice job w/vocals, most jazz and acoustic tunes, but can't really hack techno/trance(weak base) and acid/hard rock(muddled guitar distortion) ...but then, at this size and price I didn't expect they would.

TIPS:
- Use sound processors
I never use Trubass and Surround effects, since they do more harm than good, but was surprised to hear they REALLY HELP these little speakers (you're not gonna hear subtle harmonics in your music w/these speakers anyway, so might as well enjoy what you can).

- Use fresh batteries
Takes 3 AA's, and plays WELL past when it should stop on weak ones(maybe forever?). When bats get fairly drained the bass breaks up BADLY.

(I'm sure it's my imagination, but the more I use 'em the better they sound to me... strange?)

i picked up this case/speakers earlier today, these things are absolutely awesome and amazing, they sound quality is good, and they play extremely loud for the size and are powered very well by only 3 aa batteries, i recommend these to anyone who does and traveling or wants to play music at work etc. they are great

This summer my wife bought some travel speakers at Radio Shack for about $10-12. Terrible quality. So in anticipation of a trip to NZ, I did some research looking for travel speakers for my portable CD and stumbled across reviews in UK and Europe for this TDK product. The reviews sounded fantastic. Luckily I found the product on Amazon. They arrived last night and certainly fill the bill for very decent quality travel speakers. In fact, I can fit my CD player and 24 CDs in the softcase. If you consider the price, etc. - this is an excellent buy.

I recently had my car stereo stolen and bought this case not thinking I would get much use out of it. I sure was wrong. I use this case all the time. Sure it doesn't replace my stereo, but it has excellent sound. Most cases CD cases are around this price anyways. There are velcro straps inside to hold the case together while it is standing up and facing you. Inside there is a pocket for a CD player. The only gripe I have is that you cannot hold the full amount of cd's while there is a player inside. Well worth the money. I would like to see this used with an ipod.

This is great UNDER-RATED product, especially for the price. I use it with my laptop, and my Rio Karma when/where ever cans and ear buds are impractical (next to the bath tub, in the car, next to (or under) my pillow, on a table when I want to share music with friends, at the beach, etc.. ) It can be set up like a 3D A-frame, or left in a bag, zipped closed with the player inside. The sound quality is MUCH better than the Sony external speakers that cost 4x as much... Surprising clarity, no distortion, decent volume in a normal size room, and relatively good bass (especially if you drive with it in your lap, or fall asleep with your hand resting on it). It has nice tactile appeal (the surface is neoprene, and guess what... it vibrates) Both the mono and the stereo sizes are big enough to hold the Karma and the cables... and an extra set of batteries (which last almost a week with heavy use.) Don't waste your money on fancy "travel speakers" till you've tried this... you will be pleasantly surprised.

I purchased this about 4 months ago and the only downfall to it at all is that at higher volume there is a bit of clipping. The battery life is decent (about 8 hours on 3 AA Batteries). convenient layout. Typically I would load 12 CDs along with a CD player as opposed to 24 cds. In doing so my discs and player were kept safe from damage, however with more bass-heavy discs, there was a bit of skipping even though my player has skip protection. When all is said and done though, this is a really solid product. It is of good enough quality that about 10 of my friends followed suit and bought them as well.

This TDK Softcase has fantastic sound and holds 24 CDs. Great for on-the-go traveling, or just about anywhere. Connects to CD player, MP3 player, or notebook computer. I can't believe the sound is great with just 3 AA batteries. Sounds exactly like surround sound. Very portable (of course, TDK has the best electronics and accesories).

Sound ***** advanced sound
Portability **** bit rigid and boxy-like
Price **** slightly expensive
Color **** very nice shade of blue
Overall **** pleasent color, advanced sound, what more could you ask for?

The sound is a little boxy, but the volume is good enough to fill a 20'x40' (approx.) room with no added distortion. If size and convenience are a priority, then this is a must buy. If you are looking for excellent sound quality, look somewhere else. For my uses, it is a prefect fit.

I just purchased this deal and it is great! I would not say that I experience "surround sound" or anything approaching a set of Beau Speakers, but they deliver crisp clean sound with decent bass at a volume that works for me in the car or in my office...the good sound quality coupled with portability and simplicity make this thing a great buy for 30 bucks...My only complaint is that I wish they had put the on off switch outside the case somewhere...it is on the inside and I often forget to turn it off to save the battery life. But I can live with it. Great deal, perfect gift, keeps me "legal" in my car! (no more headphones)
