Sound and clarity first rate.... what makes it attractive is the size.... easy to pack.... wish the battery life was better but all in all.... good pickup!
 Great little speaker, but be careful for small design flaw September 4, 2010
William L. Duncan (Chapel Hill, NC United States)
I purchased this little speaker in September 2009, after much research & trying out a few others. I was immediately impressed by the abundance of quality sound that came out of such a small speaker. Everything was great for a while, but a few months ago the cord began to come loose from the male connector of the unit, exposing the thin speaker wire inside. All it took was one instance when the speaker was connected to my IPod, and the Ipod dropped out of my hand causing it to dangle from the speaker for a second. Then the metal speaker wires became visible (the rubber sheathing got pulled back from the 'fall'). I tried to place electrical tape around the bare area to help protect the wires from fraying & bending (or worse) but this proved futile over time, as the wires grew weak & have now almost broken. Now, to even get sound out of the speaker, I have to bend the connector (which is surrounded by tape) slightly back & forth until I can hear full sound (left & right channels go in & out as it bends) come out of the speaker, but this is only works for a few minutes until the wire bends back into its state of disrepair. So, as long as you take extra care of the cord and don't ever let any type of mp3 or Ipod that weighs any amount to fall & hang from the unit, or get pulled away from the speaker with any amount of force, you'll be okay. Now, I'm looking for another speaker. I like this one, but the flawed cord design will make me look elsewhere.
 Makes a good paperweight September 2, 2010

When this arrived I opened the box and loved the look of it and the nice little carrying case. Then I put in the batteries and as soon as I turned it on there was a very loud screeching noise. Thinking it might be feedback from my nearby computer system, I moved it into the next room and still the same noise. I tried playing music over it, and the screeching was louder than the music, even with the volume on full. It is totally unusable.
When I contacted Altec Lansing support, the real fun began. Just a total run around, and no help with the problem or even an offer to replace it or refund my money. First they had to set up an account for the problem, but when I tried to access the account it was disabled. When I asked what was going on, I was told they'd get back to me in 72 hours. After 72 hours, nothing. Ten DAYS later I get an email saying the incident has been closed, and they have changed email providers so I have to contact a new address. I click on the link for the new address and explain the whole history of the thing. Then I get a response saying my inquiry was coming from a different e-mail address than the one on which the incident was submitted so they couldn't respond to it. I sent it directly from the link they provided when responding to my original inquiry! How could it be from a different address? And after all this, still nothing about the problem with the speaker.
After reading the other reviews, I guess if you get one that works, it's a nice enough piece of equipment, but if there's a problem with it, you're stuck. Unless you need a paperweight.

My car does not have an ipod aux cable, so this was just a lot easier to use than the adapter. Perfect
