Does a great job December 2, 2008

Much bigger sound that you would think for it's ultra portable size. Great for impromptu tunes from iPods.
So far so good November 28, 2008

I was looking for a small portable, lightweight, alkaline battery-powered speaker I could easily toss into a suitcase and take on travel to play in hotel rooms when I didn't want to wear headphones, and also have something to play at work occasionally. After looking at a few different portable speakers I settled on this given the price, size and favorable ratings of its predecessor and the trustworthiness of the brand name. I was pretty surprised at how clear, crisp and sharp the vocals sounded on practically every "reference" song I tried it out on, even at higher volumes. I actually think its a good deal crisper than my Bose on this score, and certainly better than my JBL sound stage. Driven up to the highest volume there is transistor-like distortion, and some distortion at lower volumes in songs with more bass. On most songs played at low to medium-high volume levels (tested on rock, alternative, pop, classical for the most part) it nicely filled my home office and I could hear it loud and clear from the first floor, and I expect it will perform just as well at work if not better, as I can't turn it up nearly as loud there as I do at home. br / br /I am knocking off a star because the battery compartment door does not snap shut and tends to fall off at the slightest nudge. If there's a secret to making it stay on I don't know it - there were no instructions included with this intuitive plug and play unit, and really none needed. Others might find the lack of an iPod dock and short cord to be an issue; these didn't concern me. I found the sound quality to be better when I propped the unit up on an angle - nearly standing up straight - inside the carrying case. For the price, if you're just looking for something lightweight and small to fill a small to medium size room with pretty good quality sound with little distortion, the Altec Lansing Orbit is a good bet.
 Solid Little Speaker November 25, 2008

This is the deluxe 2nd edition of a very good concept, portable and lightweight amplifier. The sound is big and it comes with a nice case. The headphone jack is small enough to fit in the original iPhone, making it an excellent speakerphone, too. Very satisfied.
It's good. As an iPhone/iPod user, I prefer iMainGo. November 18, 2008

I'm not looking for perfect audio. I'm just looking for something really compact that I can take with me into the field and have a small party. I had been using an iMainGo with my iPod for quite awhile and was really happy with it. But it wasn't so great for use with my iPhone (as the phone wouldn't fit well inside) and at some point, my portable sound system was stolen from my luggage at the Tucson airport. (never mind the security locks on the luggage!!!). I wasn't able to replace the iMainGo, so I tried a few portable speakers and this wheel-shaped thing seemed to be the best. I've been very happy with the sound quality. I'd simply add that it is not as compact as the iMainGo and that the iMainGo sounds almost as good to my ears. I've ordered an iMainGo2 (fits the iPhone) and will switch back to it as long as it sounds ok. I should add that plenty of iPhone/iPod users rave about the iMainGo/iMainGo2... for its sound quality and compact nature.
Very happy with it November 13, 2008

I bought one of these to play music from my iPhone during a vacation. I used it outdoors by the swimming pool for about a week. Went through only one set of batteries (AAA). My friends and I were consistently impressed with the sound that came out of this little speaker; it's surprisingly loud and clear. br / br /I figured when I bought it that it was basically a throw-away. Not so. It's a good little speaker that fits the bill.
