5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly impressive, April 21, 2010

Amazing portability which is very important to me when traveling abroad.
No need to carry extra batteries, no need to carry extra speaker.
To charge it I am using Apple USB power adapter/110V-240V/ which works also great with my
SanDisk Sansa Mp3 player.
Works great for me to learn languages without headphones at home or in my car.
SD card or mini SD is very useful to copy various languages or different type of music for quick change.
Headphones, SD card and all cables that you may need are also included.
Works perfect with car audio if youur car stereo is Mp3 capable.
Outstanding sound for this size of speaker.
So far this mini Mp3 player/speaker is the best I have encountered.
The sound clarity is beautiful.The highs clear/ tested Kate Bush- Wuthering Hights/,
lows are not boomy, the bass is realistic with the speaker fully open.
Just fell in love with this toy,but not for so long, because my son "borrowed"
it forever.Looks like that I have to buy another one.
Before I have been traveling with iMainGo2 portable speaker/very,very, good/,but
this little wonder has it all what you need by yoyr bed in your hotel,
barbecue, beach or on the table when you have your lunch or dinner.
Many hours of playback with 3.5 hrs battery charging time.
Amazing portability,aesthetic quality, good sound of this product has impressed
me.
Can reccomand to anyone who wants to have quality music on the go

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Portable Mp3 Player, March 10, 2011

Very impressive speaker with intriguing design. What I received from package was a USB cable for charging and transferring files to the sd card, a nice looking blue earphone, a pouch for carrying, and the speaker itself along with the sd card already inserted inside.

PRO:
-The micro sd card included works well also. No problem arises there.
-The sound quality is quite crisp for its size. The loudness is immense.
-The blue earphone that came with it has surprisingly nice sound quality. Earphones came with the main product in general usually has crappy sound quality. But this one really sounds very clear. The only thing missing in it is some bass, but who am I to complain with something free and awesome like that?
-Battery life is definitely an attraction on the Happy. I let it on at full charge with decent volume level that can fill the room. Without turning it off, I received a kick-a$$ 12.5 hours of continuous playback. It's difficult to tell what the volume level was but I'd have to guess at about 1/3 full volume. Of course it would drain more power if it sets at higher volume.

CON:
I think this could be a flaw in the Happy since other reviews have also mentioned this. When I turn it on, the Happy immediately plays the song at MAX volume. This can be very obnoxious and disruptive to other people if you're in a quiet place. Even so, I have found a very simple tricks that might help against this annoyance:

-First, you notice when you turn it on, the LED indicator is immediately turned purple(this means it's at full power or enough power to play) for a second or two. Then it quickly turns to red for about 3sec before the red is blinking. The moment the red is blinking it starts to play at max volume. And this is what I suggest if you dont want to experience the full volume at the start: When the LED turns to red, quickly press the mute button before it has the chance to blink. Turn the volume down by holding it for about 7sec. before letting go. Then you can press the mute again to hear where you're at.

Besides the max volume blast at the start, it doesn't seem to have any other flaw.

I also have the x-mini II speaker and the Happy can extend upward more, so maybe more bass than the x-mini II? Cant really tell the difference but it should add a bit more bass nonetheless.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Product, November 17, 2010

Bobby - See all my reviews

This is an incredible device that amazes everyone who sees, hears, and touches it. This is by far the best small portable speaker in the world and thats without even mentioning that its also an mp3 player! Its very fun to toss around and play with while listening to music or by just setting it on a table. The great thing about it is no cords (although you can plug your mp3 player/ipod into it) are required and it is definitely the most portable and powerful bang for your buck speaker you can buy. You would be foolish to buy any other small speaker. You will be wowed the first time you hear it. Very impressive product, cant stress this enough!
