Good but, dumb engineering

"The sound quality is decent for the price. Plenty loud. Works as expected and a deal at anything below $12. I would NEVER pay the $40 retail. The HUGE hangup is to turn this thing on you must hold it in some contortionist position and attempt to spin the ring without gripping to hard and without pushing down to hard on the speaker grill and spin to the on position. My wife can't do it. It takes me quite sometime..." Read Full Review »

Acceptable audio qual., could be better

"Audio quality is acceptable at low volume. Unbearable distortions at slightly higher output. Mechanical is below par: on/off switch is hard to operate and poorly marked. Battery cover is so flimsy that you'd have to hold your breath while open/close it!..." Read Full Review »

"I did not expect this kind of sound quality from such a small speaker! It's no BOSE but for $10 this speaker's sound quality and volume are pretty awesome. You're won't get insane, house-shaking bass but changing the iPod equalizer settings alone can change the sound to your liking. I don't know wha …" Read Full Review »

"Prior to making the purchase I read most of the reviews on this speaker. Mostly everyone really liked the speaker except for the on and off mechanism. I own several of Altec Lansing's products, and am impressed with the products performance and construction. So, at such a good price, I decided to pu …" Read Full Review »

This requires 3 AAA batteries to operate.2. To turn it on and off you must turn the silver ring around the outside of the speaker gri …" Read Full Review »

"The sound quality is good for a small speaker. the 3 batteries last long enough. It has a built in 8 inch long connector cable that plugs directly into MP3 player so there is no need for an extra cable unless you really need something longer. It´s a bit thick to fit comfortably in your pocket, but i …" Read Full Review »
