"Surprisingly Great Solid Sound"
Pros: Small, easy to use
Cons: Power adapter is too big and bulky
Summary: I received this speaker component as a gift. As I was setting it up for the first time my expectation on performance was really low. It felt solid, it is made by a company known for quality, but frankly, I come from a gerneration where size of audio equipment infers quality. And yes I know, this doesn't make sense when I remember that it's for my iPod which is small. Enough about perception and emotion. The fact is that this small unit is just super. It has adquate bass - (oh yeah, I'm from the generation where bass should be kept in check with other tuning characteristics and not vibrating to the point where you can no longer detect or hear the sound shifts and distinctions.) I use this in my kitchen, office and I plan on taking it with me when I travel because it's really small enough to pack. I list to a lot of podcasts. My biggest new problem is finding something to put it in before I pack it in my suitcase. If you are younger and insist on boom numbing bass that distorts the sound qualities of music then this unit is probably not for you. Then again, if you are into boom numbing bass, you're not probably listening to real music anyway, uh? I recommend this speaker very highly. (oh and also, it has some design give so you can leave your case on the iPod and still insert the iPod into the device - very cool)
