Wonderful, cheap little speakers!
By LJVerified Reviewer from Brooklyn, NY on 7/15/2008
Pros:
Easy Setup, Fast Charge, Fast Transfer, Light and portable
Cons:
Battery cover can break
Best Uses:
Car, Home, Office, Travel
Describe Yourself:
Frequent Ipod listener
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

These speakers are small, light and cheap. However, the battery cover can break after a while. You have to be careful with the back of the unit. I bought an extra set when the first one broke, but they are still worth it. I had my first speakers for almost a year, and they went everywhere with me. I used them constantly. A great bargain!

Great for the nano!!!!

No charging dock

Bottom Line:

Anyone, who says this doesnt fit the nano is a complete moron. You have to push the nano completely in......anyone who says they scratched their nano is an even bigger moron. Also if you try to fit a bigger sized ipod in, it blantenly says on the box "made for the ipod NANO" so your just asking for trouble. Seriously I mean common people its 2008 wake up!!!!! this is a great product.

This only works with the second generation iPod Nano. I have the first one, with the white plastic front and silver back - it DOES NOT FIT. My boyfriend's all-aluminum, colored nano DOES FIT. Great little speaker - sounds good for the size. Just make sure you have the right nano!

Terrible
By PeachyVerified Purchaser from RI on 12/10/2007
Cons:
Doesn't fit Nano, Scratched My IPod
Describe Yourself:
Frequent Traveler
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I was given this a as gift. I have an IPod Nano that is only a year old and when I tried to insert it into the speaker, not only did it not fit, it scratched my IPod, I have the black one. When they produced a product for a line of IPods, and label it for sale, such as the Nanos, it shoud fit all of them so a customer like me wouldn't try and stick in their expensive items and risk ruining them. What a piece of junk.

iPod nano cannot simply be inserted. Brand new nano (so that's not the problem). Prong in DOC not placed correctly.

I enjoy listening to podcasts on my IPOD when I do desk work at home. This portable speaker frees me from headphones and cords. I recently took it on a camping trip / family reunion. Several relatives ordered their own speaker from [...] when they returned home.

fantastic little speaker
By mipVerified Reviewer from dc on 10/23/2007

Cons:
Doesn't charge the ipod, Runs on batteries only
Best Uses:

Describe Yourself:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

If the dock were able to charge the ipod and also didn't only run on batteries, it would be perfect. But, for such a small unit, the pros outweigh those cons. Perfect for travel.

Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I was not happy with this product because it did not fit my nano. When I called to return it, they said that it was not for my model nano. When I asked what model it was for, they just said the "newer one". Had no idea if I had the "newer" or older one.

Love it!
By Liz from San Jose, CA on 10/12/2007
Pros:
Durable, Easy Setup
Best Uses:
Home, Office, Travel
Describe Yourself:
Student
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I love this speaker system! It comes with a little black bag for safer transportation, and it's super compact. A lot of my music-savvy friends have commented on the great sound quality - this speaker gets loud and still sounds pro. And since it's so small, I can fit it on my cramped college desk with no problems!
