We would have liked to see some bass-adjustment feature on the TravelTunes, as music played through the speakers could use more kick on the low end. But bass isn't totally nonexistent, and in fact, these speakers offered nicely balanced sound on the whole, with rich mids and sparkly highs. We did notice a bit of background hiss at lower volumes, and there was noticeable distortion at high volumes. So if you like to blast your tunes, this isn't the unit for you. But if you're the outdoorsy type who wants an iPod speaker that can withstand the elements, don't overlook the TravelTunes.
