Purchased the TravelSound i50 for my brother with Cerebral Palsy...rather than have him driving his wheelchair around with earbuds, he can simply hook the TravelSound i50 onto himself and still enjoy his iPod...volume control is easy for him to manage with his limited use fingers.
Surprisingly for such a small device the sound quality was rather impressive.

It's a nifty little item and I like that they can be plugged in simultaneously for charging. However I expected it to have better sound for the price I paid. It sounds very, very tinny, w/ no bass at all. That would be expected if I'd paid $20 or so, but not for over $50. I would not recommend it.

I've been really impressed with this thing. For the size (hand-sized), this thing is rather LOUD . . . much louder than you would expect from such a small package. Yes, it doesn't have much low-end (bass), but I don't think you could expect much earth-shaking bass from something about the size of a deck of cards.

This thing is perfect for taking out in a boat, to the beach, or camping.

Charges with a common USB cord; batter is internal and lasts a looooooong time.

The strap is kind of lame, but you could replace it with something else.

I've used cheaper products ($20-$30) for the ipod with disposable batteries in the past....It's a pain to deal with a cord and separate speakers (and batteries) when playing outside...I think this is worth the extra dough.

I've had this speaker for about a year and use it constantly. The ipod shuffle is probably the most convenient ipod and the one I use most often. The speaker allows me to carry the ipod around in my purse and in the car without annoyance and easily listen to podcasts or whatever I choose to listen to. It is very handy to charge and will charge my ipod while playing. A wonderful purchanse and I think the sound is great.

Creative TravelSound i50 Great sound for price, I was pleasantly surprised to the extent of the speaker and how clear and loud it could emit sound. Bass isnt much but thats to be expected from a small speaker. Great little travel speaker would recommended for shuffle users.
