I love this item! It works great with my ipod and folds to a convenient size. Mine is a brushed silver color. The loudness is controlled on my ipod. The only problem I'm having is that I use it so often that I'd like to also be able to plug it in using an AC adapter. It has the capability although I'm having some trouble finding a plug that fits it. Overall, it's just what I was looking for and it lets me play music from my ipod easily with pretty good sound -- a good value (to me).

This large of sound, with this small of speakers?
I am amazed by the sound quality of these speakers. I am using
them with the Sony D-NE306 CD audio player. A good coupling.
I use them at work, outside on the patio, and I plan to
take them camping.
The 4 AA batt's produce quite a lot of sound.
The life of the batteries do seem short though.
Around 4 hours or so. Not sure if that can be lenghtened or not. I subtracted 1 Star for this reason. I bought a 6 vdc power adaptor to use when 120v is availiable. I also use rechargeables when line voltage isn't there.
But other than that, I am very happy with these speakers!

The Panasonic Folding Speakers seem to be fine, but I don't like having to buy batteries all the time. I have been to several electronics stores and cannot find an AC Adapter with the required specifications to support this unit. AMAZON and Panasonic should offer an adapter, either as a part of the costs of this unit, or else in conjuction with it.

I was looking for a decent set of travel speakers to use with my MP3 player. We've had the Panasonic speakers for over three months and they've been great. We've taken them camping so my 2 year old can listen to some soothing bedtime music. I've set them in the bottom of the stroller basket when my husband and I take our son and dog out for walks. We've even used them in hotel rooms to dance around and burn off some energy after traveling in a car all day. The construction is durable and they fold to the size of a paperback. The battery life is excellent - we've only changed batteries once so far. The sound is acceptable. They're travel speakers; you can't expect them to sound as good as your home stereo system. I've found that turning up the bass boost on my MP3 player helped. Overall, good deal for the price.

Got these for traveling overseas. We needed something that worked on batteries. 2 AA batteries lasted the whole week of vacation in Central America. I love that these pack down pretty small & seem sturdy. I thought the quality was great for the price. No, these are not high-end but they did the job perfectly.
