Handy player for a traveling yoga teacher
I have now purchased two of this item--one for me, two years ago, and one for my father-in-law just recently. I like it enough for me that I bought it for him.

I use this player to play my music when I travel around to various locations to teach yoga. I teach a type of yoga that uses loud, upbeat music (not soft woo-woo music), so I want a player that can deliver good sound at a good volume in locations that can range in size from conference rooms to gymnasiums. This player does the trick.

The folding legs are simple. The case is sturdy. As others have noted, I wish there were a sleeve on the case for the power cord (just in case). You must separately bring the cord along if you wish power back-up in case of a partial charge. I have not yet had problems with decreased charge due to slow battery failure, but I usually only use the unit one hour at a time.

I bought my first unit at Costco, which still carries the product for less than all the websites I recently visited. Good luck, and enjoy your new player!

Joys and Problems
I wanted people to be aware of the problems I faced with the set, so quickly and succinctly, here you go:

These speakers are amazing. They aren't enough to fill a large room with rockin' bass, but that same room was more-than-adequately serenaded to sleep on more than one night. What I also like about them is that the fidelity is good even on low volume, presupposing you have good quality mp3s.

They are small, light, and compact, easily fitting into a carry-on suitcase, and run off batteries, as it has been noted previously.

My problems begin there: the battery is internal and the user is unable to change them out. This wouldn't be a problem if the set performed as expected. But I've heard from other users that sets have had to be returned due to under-performing battery packs. Mine are temperamental. Sometimes I'll make it through a full 6-hour shift on the batteries and other times they'll conk out after 2 hours (after indicator light shows full charge). My co-worker has the same set and has zero problems with the battery pack.

The second problem is the remote, which stopped working after about 6 months, several months too late to return the system.

The last issue I have is the sensitivity of the volume buttons. It's a nitpicky issue, I realize, but as a massage therapist, it's nice to just be able to easily change the volume up or down without having to worry about accidentally blasting your client if you press too hard, or dropping it down too low for the same reason. The average user will not have to worry about this.


All in all, I do like this system quite a lot, but be aware of the possible malfunctions so that you can return it in time should you note them with yours.

Great buy
Awesome speakers, the sound is superb!! there is a lot of bass and it can get very loud and still retain great sound quality. only con is that the remote doesn't work so great but oh well.

definitely recommend this

Great Sound
I am happy with the selection. I brought these for my cubicle at work. The sound is great in this environment. At times my co-workers ask me to pump up the volume and I still get quality sound. However, don't expect to use these for a party.

Great design with excellent sound. I was very pleased with the performance and the great price.
