 Love it! March 19, 2007

This is a great PERSONAL speaker for your ipod. It plays just as loud as a clock radio would -- great for a desk at work. Love it, Love it!
Simple with good sound October 27, 2007
The great thing about this speaker is it's simplicity. There's no volume control or on/off switch. The volume is controlled by the attached device. The power turns on when the audio input cable is plugged into the speaker. If you turn off your audio device (MP3 player, cell phone, PDA, etc.) the speaker powers down after a few minutes to save on battery power. It does not come with an AC power supply, but one is available directly from Saitek. I use rechargeable batteries so it doesn't need an electrical outlet and is more portable.
You won't get hard pounding bass out of this, but for small room's it will work well. I use it in the bathroom getting ready each day and it fills the room with sound nicely. Plus, it's nice and small so it doesn't take up much room on the counter.
I highly recommend it.
Impressive March 25, 2008
I bought this when it was $13. Great deal at that price but it also helps you put this review into context.
For a handheld unit, this is a great speaker. The highs are good and it also has a small bass port which gives it good bass (considering its size). My first impression was "Wow" when I first heard it. I'm pretty sure this is one of the better sounding AAA battery powered speaker.
For all the iPhone users out there, this speaker comes with a 3.5mm male to 3.5mm male connector (for use with cars AUX ports) that actually fits the iPhone's recessed ports (without the need for an adapter). Its only a foot long but it works!
My major negative is that there is some distortion at higher volumes so you will have to adjust the volume for distortion. Personnally, I haven't seen a handheld speaker without distortion at higher volume levels.
Currently the best, but even better with an Ipod Nano 2 or 3 G January 24, 2008
I bought this for $2.57. Not really, but what's with all the "reviews" by bargain-boasters--from iPod speakers to HDTVs? If you got a deal, I say bully for you. But does that make you a better person, or even a more admirable one? More to the point, what does your self-advertisement tell the reader about the product?
I picked up the Saitek on an Amazon Gold Box sale, fried the insides by using it with an incompatible adapter, but missed it so much that I paid full freight for a replacement. In short, this is the fullest-sounding speaker in a convenient, practical size that I've found (the most recent return was the overrated, bulky and ugly "iMainGo" portable speaker system). The Saitek is flat enough to slip easily into a pocket, yet it has plenty of punch, good treble and adequate bass. (The iMainGo has "volume" but little range not to mention wasted space and a problematic battery compartment)
The included accessories for the Saitek show the same attention to quality, with 3 types of connectors. Above all, the right-angle Sony mini-plug is a nice addition for any iPod Nano owner. You can spend twenty or more bucks just for a video stand for the Nano 3 g. The Saitek offers the same provision, except the "stand" is also a mini-stereo system that does wonders for the 2" video screen of the Nano.
A great bargain at most any price April 5, 2008
I bought one of these from Woot (a discount firm), and I couldn't be happier with this. The size of this belies the sound: crisp, resonant, enjoyable. You don't get great stereo separation, but that's not the goal. Music still sounds very present and lifelike. This plays off my Pioneer Inno just great, and it's superb for listening to non-music material like THIS AMERICAN LIFE or other great NPR programs (CAR TALK guys?). Runs a long time on a charge, is easy to pocket (or keep in the car), and even saves batteries if it doesn't detect an input signal. This is a underrated gem.
