I've used these speakers for sound in group settings (15 people) and after 2 1/2 years it works like new. When traveling I hook up my IPOD so we can all hear podcasts, music, or audiobooks. In July 2006 I purchased these speakers for my first IPOD. Battery life is good. I'm now on my fifth IPOD and still using the same speakers.
I don't like the base, which is a piece of metal. It's not very steady and looks cheesy. Sound is not bad. Although it was inexpensive, it really wasn't worth the money. It's cheap. I would buy this for a kid but would spend the extra money on a better one for an adult.
I love these speakers, loud and clear, and I got them used for $12BUTthat's with the ac adapter.Mine won't work on dc, they make a beeping noise both with batteries and with a car/cig adapter.Is it me or the unit
The power button is backwards.++ PROS +++ Lightweight, weighs less than a pound.+ Foldable, can be easily packed in a backpack or purse, even a large 3 ring binder can hold them+ Battery powered, decent battery time, we get at least 12 - 16 hours of usage off 4 Duracell AAA's-- CONS --- The AAA batteries will drain even if you don't turn it on, we went on vacation for a week and inserted a fresh set of batteries before we left. When we came back the sound started fading then they drained in less than 30 minutes.- The power switch, when in the Off position an orange section of paint strip is exposed, red and orange normally means "ON" but not in this device.- Bass is really distorted, but what do you expect from speakers so small, treble is decent and has to be maxed out before it starts to sound tingy.I wanted a set of iPod speakers which didn't require AC power, like these because they have decent output for something the size of a medium size cucumber. WARNING: It drains the AAA batteries even when it is turned off. Use them all the time, you can tell when the batteries are getting low because the sound sounds notably distorted, almost like a weak radio frequency.I'd buy them again if I had to replace it.
They work great, got them for my grandaughter for you ipod and it work wonderful.
