    These speakers are worth more than £50!

    • Written by from STAINES

    Okay so I got these out the box and was hoping for enough sound to allow me to watch movies on my new Samsung display I bought to hook up to my new MacBook.

    I was so shocked when I turned these on, not only do they look great, come with a carry case and charge so they dont drain power when using them as portables - the sound room filling yet ambient at lower volumes and look is eye popping.

    When they were turned up I had to put my ear to the MacBook speakers to see if the sound was coming out of them as well because the iHome speakers were powerful.

    I can honestly say that proportionally these are just as good as my bose SoundDock and that's saying something because I LOVE my SounDock!

    Great design

    • Written by from Earley

    Purchased at Apple Store in London yesterday, and really amazed by the design and sound. For the size and portability of these units, very good value for money and do provide a great sound experience in the office/hotel or wherever on the move!!

    great product

    • Written by from sandy

    I've had these speakers for some months now connected to my macbook pro mainly for watching movies, I am so impressed with them- the sound (considering the price & size) is really good, decent bass and stereo separation, they take two ports- 1x USB for charge and 1x headphone jack for sound, after a full charge i unplugged the USB to see how long that would run on their own battery power, OMG- weeks!
    I do not know what they quote as the battery life but it was over 100 hours!!
    The cable they come with means they can only be separated by about 1m but that is enough. I don't really have anything negative to write.
    These are really impressive.

    Big sound - Small size

    • Written by from london

    The headline here is the size vs. the sound. They will not replace your hi-fi but the sound is more then adequate.
    They are exelent value too.

    An easy 5 star rating.

    Absolute Gem.

    • Written by from BURY ST. EDMUNDS

    I bought these speakers to go with my Macbook Pro, not expecting very much at this price range. They are absolutely brilliant for watching DVD's, listening to music and talking on Sykpe. Perfect for travel, they fit into a little pouch (provided) and make the whole computer/audio experience very enjoyable. Beautifully designed, everyone should try them. Delivery by Apple fast and efficient as always.

    If you need small, portable speakers BUY THESE ONES

    • Written by from BASINGSTOKE

    These speakers are GREAT. For the size they have a wonderful sound, rich and powerful with plenty of detail. Add to that the fact that they collapse down and link together for transport AND they have a rechargeable battery that'll easily last a solid day's use and your onto a winner. I really can't recommend these enough - they sound just as good, if not better, than speakers that are twice the price. Buy, enjoy!

    It's all true!!

    • Written by from Bristol

    All these other five star reviews do not tell a lie, or stretch the truth in any way!! These are utterly amazing speakers, considering their tiny size, weight and cost. There is no way you could find anything else comparable. The only downside is the slightly clunky cable set-up, which is a single item, incorporating USB (for charging via computer or Apple's USB mains charger, the 3.5mm headphone plug, and the two mini-USB connectors for each speaker.

    Regardless of whether you're charging or playing, this slightly messy piece of wiring is going to be lying somewhere within view. That caveat aside, these little guys are extremely well designed. They have no volume control as it is not needed at all, and would only cloud the sound slightly anyway.

    A little red light on both units goes on when you're charging, and it changes to blue when charged, and to indicate that power is on. The quality of sound, other than deep bass, is rich, full, and completely satisfying. Very detailed, and even at loud volume, non-distorting. Do yourself a favour, and GO BUY!

    Now, if only the company would bring out a Bluetooth version, that would be a winner, in all ways. Think about it, SDI Technologies!!! (By the way, these are 100% American, designed and made in the US. Which is quite welcome, these days, where almost everything (even some Apple products) are made in China.

    Great little speakers

    • Written by from Leamington Spa

    I bought these for my Mac Mini and didn't expect much, given their modest price and small size. However, they produce an extremely good sound, clear as a bell, and with good stereo separation. the icing on the cake is that they are rechargeable with an apparently long battery life, so I also now use them with my iPod and other mobile gadgets. If I have one minor criticism, it is that there is quite a lot of cabling, but this criticism is not major enough to warrant knocking a star off my rating.

    Wow!

    • Written by from Aberdeen

    I bought these not expecting too much from them. At £39.95 for speakers you are not expecting much.

    How little did I know, these are absolutely brilliant. The sound is incredible for such small speakers, also comes with a bag to stow them away in.

    All in all very please with these and would recommend to anyone.

    Unbelievably good for the price & size

    • Written by from Lincoln

    Picked these speakers up a year ago to make movie watching on my mac book more enjoyable when I'm away from home. I was immediately impressed with the sound quality - especially considering the price I'd paid and their size. However, what has really blown me away is their battery life. You charge their internal batteries via USB in about 1-2 hours and then they literally run for weeks. Sometimes they'll sit on the shelf for 3 months then be used on a trip every night for a week and still not need charging. Nothing short of amazing - if you need compact speakers to work with a macbook then I promise you that these are the speakers for you.

    Spot On

    • Written by from Newport

    I got these for Christmas yesterday and love them. I read the reviews and thought I'd give them a go.

    They're brilliant little speakers - they won't replace my hi-fi or a good set of headphones, but for they do what they are intended to do brilliantly. They're easy to transport and charge, although the cabling is a bit of a kerfuffle and they sound good. They also go plenty loud enough from an iPod Nano. I haven't seen how loud they will go with the stronger input signal from my computer.

    For the money (Apple's isn't the best price) and their intended use, they are spot on.

    Top Banana!

    • Written by from Grantham

    OK, so it's only day one of my daughter's ownership, but this pair of neat telescopic speakers are easy to use, charge and stack away well in their pouch - and above all give an extremely impressive sound for such a reasonable cost! Ideal for the traveller. The only downside, if at all, is that they can only be charged using a USB port on your computer, but everyone should have easy access to a USB port - this is a modern world!
