Amazing sound and price for such little speakers!
By Miss Gamble
Let me commence off by saying what I wanted in speakers. I necessitated something very little for my bedside cabinet. I also wanted to be competent to use my ipod as an alarm, and wake up to a good deal of type of music rather of just ‘beep beep’ noises. I likewise was fascinated in something being effortlessly portable for when I travel.

My search for speakers: I looked all around. Most iHomes that let you listen to ‘your music’ are in truth huge and in a literal sense took up my entire nightstand (which is very small). Even the littler ones are quintessentially way too big to even think regarding traveling with. Then I looked at a littler JBL speaker that is a 360 degree speaker ring. That was nice because it was beauteous flat and not huge, but if I left the power on at night, I heard a very evident humming noise, which when you’re sleeping seems exceedingly loud. I continued my search onto the SkullCandy Pipe speaker. I had high hopes for that, but my iPod wouldn’t fit in it with the case on, and taking off the case each night would be a big hassle. Finally I decisive to undertake these. I have seen these online on the Apple internetsite before, but was just skeptical because I figured since they were so small, the sound would be crappy. However, I tried them anyway because I was out of other options.

Now with regards to the product: They came in a dinky questionable package, and were even littler than I thought! Only a couple inches tall each, even when ‘expanded’ like it shows in the picture. It comes with one cord which hooks up to both speakers. the ipod or other device you are playing sound from, and a usb port. That means you may even just use your computer to charge them, or plug them into your ipod usb charger in the wall. When you turn the speakers on (switches on the side) a blue light comes on, and then when you charge it the light changes to red until it is wholly charge (then it turns blue). I thought this would emit too much light to sleep by because I sleep in pitch darkness, but it wasn’t worse than a little nightlight. Might I also add, that the cord charges up internal batteries, so if you need to use them without the cord, you may do so (although I don’t recognise battery life). As far as the sound goes, the sound is marginally better when the speakers are expanded. There is no reason not to exaggerate them though, besides when you are traveling, so they don’t get damaged of course. It gave a very clear sound that did well with louder volumes without getting messy, and the bass was in truth rather nice as well! I was very, very amazed at what these tiny guys could do. As far as portability goes, not one thing could beat these. You may close up the speakers (as shown on left speaker in picture) and when you put their bases together, they stick together with magnets kind of like a huge pill. They likewise come with a little bag so they don’t get scratched! So roll up your cord, pop your speakers together, put it all in the tiny bag, and it’s perfective to take anywhere, even in your purse (they are very light).

My thoughts: Great sound, agreeable price, awful portability due to size, magnetic bases, and rechargeable batteries! I genuinely wish they had included a wall adapter for the usb cord so you could charge them thru computer or wall. These are unquestionably worth it, and now I’m attempting to convince my mom who works on an airline to buy them. Oh and as far as getting my tunes to play for when I wake up – I downloaded an app from the iTunes store that lets you do that! So now my iPod dock + these speakers is as good as an iHome, but tiny in comparison and in all probability evenly awful in sound.

Amazing sound / price from such little speakers!
By Thomas I. Rummel
I purchased these directly through iHome. They were very quick to ship. I likewise found an online 20% coupon that made the price a no-brainer. ($10 for less and free shipping!!) Can’t say sufficient good things in regards to these little speakers. I took them with me on my trip to South America. Never had any troubles with them what so ever. A word of caution though… The magnets in the speaker bases are strong; so be careful around hard-drives and other sensible magnetic materials. I read in one review where somebody set these speakers on top of there laptop and it destroyed their hard-drive!! The sound quality is magnificent and the battery life is very good. The speakers come with a single proprietary cable with it’s own built in clip for cable management. As others have stated the cable is a little unwieldy and could be a tad longer but veritably does not diminish my impression of these little guys. Also, there is no volume control on the speakers themselves; so you will have to use the source to regulate volume. iHome’s Service is top notch and they held me informed for the duration of the entire purchasing process. My only concern with these speakers is the cable – specifically if you lose it they are no longer functional. Overall – in truth outstanding little speakers with a very classy appearance!!!

Little speakers but good quality sound.
By R. Lee
I purchased these speakers to use with a netbook computer because the built-in speakers were weak, had very little volume, and had no bass whatsoever. These speakers solved the problem, a great deal of volume and fantastic sound (really good bass and treble for palm size speakers). Recommended for laptops/netbooks with poor quality speakers.
