Summary: great sound in such a small package
Review: i usually take my boombox/radio to work and listen to my cd's but i have to lug it around in a backpack and then there's carrying all my cd's, it's getting old so a few days ago,
i got on amazon and started browsing through mobile speakers.
i bought these and a smaller sony version that says(blue) attached to the end of the name, those were about $40 dollars, not to bad I thought, but i work in a cooler with a many large fans blowing, so the sound quality/volume were not enough for me. I was lucky and came across these at a local furniture/electronics store. there were about $80 there so it is wiser to get these at amazon.com.

I love these, i plug it into my sony hd mini-discman nh600d, and now instead of carring around a backpack and a 128 cd case, i can take about 70% of my cd collection which is alot more then what is in that single 128 case to work in the palm of my hand or in a few extra HD 1gig discs.

there are others complaing about sound quality, you do lose a little but come on people that is to be expected, this thing is about as long as DVD case and half as wide and about 1 1/2 inches deep, so yes the sound quality is never gonna be the same as a $80 or $200 radio/boombox. the sound quality in my opinion is amazing for the size of this thing. you are always going to lose something to gain a little something, and I for one do not mind this very little loss in quality, now almost all of my music can go with my anywhere.

Great space saver,
great sound.
i would recommend these to anyone looking for a great portable speaker.

Summary: Lacking Bass
Review: Little disappointed in the unit, hoped it might have a bit more bass. BTW, there is no "Mega Bass" circuit you can "kick-in", as the product description says; there is a Power switch and a Volume control, and that is it. I have to think you can do better for $60. They are easily portable, however, and far better than most laptop's speakers (though that is really not saying much).
