 Just what I was looking for |

| Sometimes I like to listen to an audiobook in a quiet place but I don't feel like wearing earphones so I searched for a mini speaker system. Hence, I found this product and bought it. Just got it today. It is just what I was looking for. The volume is loud enough for a fairly quiet, private place to listen. The construction seems solid. The sound quality is so-so yet I can still enjoy listening to music through it if I desire to. It actually seems a little bit thick and heavy compared to my iPod Classic but it will do its job nicely. |
Great Deal

| I bought this for $5 at Walgreens. It runs on one double A battery, and is very portable. Truly the sound wuality isnt that great, but it is really worth the money. It is about 3in long, and 1 inch wide, and can fit into any pocket. I am generally not pleased with coby products, but i would recomend this, becuase it is well worth the seven bucks. |
Great price, decent sound quality, low volume

Pros:
- Price: excellent
- Compatibility: The compatibility for this item, unlike a lot of ipod accessories, is excellent because it will work with any portable music player device that has a headphone jack, which is pretty much all of them. So as long as the device can physically sit in the headphone jack, it should work for you and it does work for me Coby mp3 player as well as my brother's Sony mp3 player. It should work for all generations of ipods too, barring a physical impediment from it sitting properly in the headphone jack.
- Sound quality: I used to have a Griffin speaker adapter like this for my old ipod and the sound quality from the Coby is much better.
Cons:
- Volume Control: There is no volume adjustment on the device itself, so you have to adjust the volume using the mp3 player. That isn't a problem in itself, but it doesn't get very loud, so don't expect to be playing this over a loud noise source like outside.
- Battery power: This isn't really a pro or con, it just is. The speaker uses one AA battery and has its own on/off switch, so it isn't powered from the mp3 player. This is good in that the mp3 player battery lasts longer, but I often forget to turn off the speaker when I remove it from the mp3 player and end up draining the AA battery fast. It would also be simpler for me if the mp3 player and the speaker used the same battery type so I didn't have to carry extras of both battery types. There is no indicator light telling you whether the device is on or off.
- Size: it isn't that large really, maybe the size of two thumbs, but I was a little surprised by that size as my old Griffin ipod speaker was the half the size. It isn't so large that you would have any problem carrying it around.
Overall, I highly recommend this.

| Great little compact size but sound quality not good the higher the volume goes. I would suggest a different speaker. |

| small, but does not sound great. will suit limited needs. I have other higher quality travel speakers, figured I would keep this in my purse if I ever need it or for when I do not want to take the larger travel speaker. not something I would recommend to others. |
