Tinny sound and not very loud

This speaker was a disappointment for me. It has a very tinny sound to it, and was not very loud - I had to turn my Sansa View all the way up in order to get a good volume out of it. No volume control either - just on/off button. Nice small package, but not worth buying. I found the iLuv Ultra-Portable Stereo Speaker to be a much better product if you're looking for a small convenient all-in-one speaker package - with much better sound quality, a lot louder volume and with volume controls. The iLuv is a little larger, and about $5 more, but well worth it.

    Great speaker for the money!

    I bought one of these speakers for my granddaughter's iPod and the sound was of such good quality that I bought another black one for my black MP3 player and a red one for my red MP3 player! I would definitely recommend this speaker - the sound quality is awesome!!

    Good value for the money

    I bought this to use for travel. Took it on a cruise for use in the cabin as well as in hotel rooms. This works perfect for small spaces. Obviously, this is not a high end speaker but was very happy with the quality and sound.

    Exceptional product

    This is an excellent speaker. I use it on my mp3 player, lap top computer and also as an adjunct speaker for the TV and CD player. My wife and I are past the 75-year point; which means a little assistance is needed to hear the actors when they mumble. I plan to purchase a couple more of these little gems.

    Great for Travel

    I purchased this item on the black friday sale and wish I had bought several more as gifts for friends. If you travel frequently and like to listen to your music in your hotel room this tiny little gadget will take up very little room in your carry on. Very pleased with the quality, design and sound projection. Very good value for the price.

    Big Sound, Little Speakers

    I was very pleased with the purchase of the Philips Universal Portable Speakers. I did not expect much sound from such a small package, but was happily surprised. Even the bass sound is not totally lost. For this small price, you get a great product. The only problem I had was that I forgot to shut the switch off (it's small and easy to forget). I went through the batteries quickly because of this.

    The circuit board shorted within a month

    This was great for the short time that it lasted. The sound was great. It was easy to use. The problem is that it didn't last long. The circuit board shorted out within a month of getting it. Maybe it is because I kept it plugged in, but that shouldn't be an issue if it is a good design. I don't recommend this if you plan on keeping it for a while. If you are looking for short term sound, though, it has powerful volume for it's size and portability.

    Compact speaker

    The sound quality is at best average, basically no bass but it is low cost and compact. It fit in my MP3 case kit. Did like the choice of different colors. Perfect for travel and occasional use. I would have chosen something better for a semi permanent installation and more frequent use. Quick delivery, good service from Walmart

    GREAT GiFT!

    I bought this for my boyfriend's father and he loved it! He works a lot outside and inside and it's really great for him because he can carry it around easily and the sound is flawless! Very glad I purchased this and not to mention, the price is unbeatable!

    Big sound in a little package

    I orgnially purchased this product late last year but decided to give it my son as a Christmas gift...He loves it and listens to it all the time. A matter of fact, after hearing his, I decided to purchase another one. Phillips has produced an outstanding product that not only sounds good but looks good as well. It will make any phone, MP3 player or disc player sound like its worth a million bucks....great buy for price as well...

    Try A Different Make

    Have owned two of these. In one I suspect wire seperated in cable or at a joint. Can wiggle near joint and it will operate. In the other I suspect a loose internal connection. Can slap or bang it and it will operate. Units are constructed such that internal parts are not accessible. Good idea. Bad implementation.

    Good Value

    I purchased this to use with my Droid phone when in the GPS mode. The actual phone speaker falls a little short for this application. This unit works and sounds great. The spekers at the Verizon store are more high end, I think for maximum music output, and MUCH more expensive. This works perfectly and for the price, can't be beat

    AWESOME

    I just received this item and i was disappointed with the size of the speaker, it is very small. However i was impressed with the loudness and clarity of it. ATTENTION: it is not "plug and play" it requires 3 AAA bateries to function Nevertheless it is totally worth it and I would recommend it

    waste of money

    this product is designed for listening and boast you can carry it in a way that you should never carry an electronic device. its a catch 22.they tell you to take the part you plug into your mp3 player insert it into the speaker system itself lock it by way they provide in the speaker unit and carry it like that which actually shorts out the system. that is wrong would you carry your home speaker by its wire? no!!!! saying that i called support and it was one of the best support experiences ive ever had they will replace the system and they take note to your concerns. the speaker itself has a unsurpassed sound and are cheap to purchase so if you can be gentle with the cord its worth a try just keep your reciept

    Great Portable Speaker

    Single speaker unit makes this truly portable. Unit puts out great sound. Very light weight. Bought for my son. Will probably buy one for myself soon.

    Great little gadget!

    Not only works with MP3 player but enhances audio of mini laptop/netbook. I am sure we will find other uses.
