4.0 out of 5 stars Incorrect Product Description, October 30, 2006
I'm not an audiophile, so I can't really comment on the quality of these speakers, but they sound fine to me. However, they do NOT have a "wall plug for extra power" as stated in the product description. The only power comes from three AAA batteries. I was looking for something that wouldn't require me to carry batteries around, so this was disappointing. The speakers and power pod do pack together into an ostrich-egg sized unit, so the whole thing can tuck into an odd corner of my duffle bag.

5.0 out of 5 stars Startling, November 26, 2006
By Mr. Lucky (Studio City, California United States) - See all my reviews
Despite the fact that no AC power cord comes attached, I was stunned by the sound output of these tiny speakers. They're superb. My only quibble would be that I'd prefer them in black, but that matters very little once you hear these titans. I've bought other mini-speakers within this price range and basically junked them... but Phillips comes through again and exceeds expectations. Don't judge them by their size.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Overall, January 14, 2007
By Julie Luxenberg (Gaithersburg, MD) - See all my reviews
These speakers work very well. I took them to work and the sound fills the medium-sized office, even over the equipment noise. For tiny speakers, the sound quality is excellent. If I didn't like theese speakers so much, I'd give them only 4 stars because they're kind of bulky for carrying around with you everywhere, even in the "egg" shape - you can't just throw them in your purse.

The battery life is at least 16-20 hours (I haven't had them very long, but the batteries haven't worn out yet) and potentially much longer. As an added bonus, the rubber around the battery compartment even keeps my iPod from moving when I switch tracks or adjust the volume.

Overall, I highly recommend these speakers.
