 Not impressed with sound or build quality July 14, 2008
R. Chadwick (London, UK)
I read the other reviews on this product and thought it sounded perfect, but it's not!
My main issue is it's far too quiet I bought it for listening to in the park and at festivals with friends, but the area where the music is audible is so small (<1 meter from the speaker) I may as well wear headphones as I'm the only one who can hear it.
Also the sound quality is far from great, bass in pretty much non existant, I wasn't expecting that to be great but I hoped it would be a lot better than this.
Playtime seems to be about 7 hours on two duracell aaa batteries playing at maximum volume (trust me you'll never turn it lower than the max) which seems pretty good to me.
The case seems pretty tough and survived mud smears and splashes of rain at Glastonbury, it kept playing and protected my player well, the mud wiped off easily with a damp cloth and left no damage. Unfortunatly the volume control feels pretty flimsy, it sticks out from the body somehwhat and wobbles quite a bit, it's still attached at the moment but I wouldn't be surprised if it fell off.
Overall I think this speaker is only good as an expensive and over large case for a player, look elsewhere for decent sound and volume.
 Excellent value for money, but not perfect July 9, 2008
J. Morgan (UK)
As per the other reviews... really excellent value for money.
If you have a Mac - sound level is equivalent to a 17" laptops speakers at about 90%. It's enough to fill a small room, like a small hotel room.
I'd have liked enough volume for a BBQ setting... and would have preferred AA batteries (more life verses lighter weight). I kind of miss having stereo sound, and would have preferred the compartment to be a be thiner (though I realise not everyone is going to use this with an ipod).
I STRONGLY recommend the product - for 19 it's great. I just wish they made a 25 version that was a bit louder and stereo!
 Brilliant Little Product!! July 8, 2008

Don't get me wrong... June 20, 2008

All these guys are right, this is an incredible product, but if ur itching 2 know whether there is anything iffy about it then it is the size... As u can probably see by the picture, even when u sit one of the largest Ipods in it, it still leaves an unnecessary amount of space around ur mp3 player, which is fine if ur not a pocket person.
I don't go on hikes much, I just love to share music so I bought this cool lil bag for pubs and other common social gatherings, but unless I wear a hoody out, i'm carrying it around in my hand most of the time. If ur a girl don't worry, buy it now; its a handbag buddy! But guys this is a damn tight squeeze into ur back pockets even if they are unusually big.
I saw this problem coming b4 buying the product and was scoping many other sound bags b4 choosing this one, but I just couldn't knock these reviews. The sound is remarkable and I'm a fussy guy when it comes to speakers trust me. Its loud, clear and will drown out n e phone, it also gives the low bass tones in ur music the justice they deserve... It's deffinately worth the money. By the way, its 11.99 in Currys if u can find it, and thats a big IF.
Definately Recommend June 19, 2008

Well I read everyone else's reviews and thought that not everyone could be wrong on the sound quality and output volume, although still a litte unsure I ordered them and was as amazed as everyone else. Fantastic, you can't believe that all that sound comes from one small inbuilt speaker. What a great price for a must have portable speaker.
