I must admit that I was skeptical buying this product at first. After doing my research it looked like this would serve my needs well. I'm a businessman and constantly traveling from hotel to hotel and rely on my iPhone for both business and entertainment. You can imagine the drain I put on my battey!

This accessory works great for all my needs. First of all I was thrilled that there wasn't the nasty popping noise that happened on my old JBL system. I can finally play my music (and now movies) without going into airplane mode. After reading the instructions I was also intrigued to find out that you can use this as a speaker phone. To my surprise it actually works pretty well as a speaker phone and I find myself on it typically in the mornings while trying to eat breakfast. Typically I'll be playing a podcast then get a call and it seamlessly transfers me onto it. Really great!

I think the best part of these little guys is the huge sound they produce. The other reviewers were dead on when they mentioned this. It's really something you've got to try for yourself. There's not much negative I can say about them, they do what they claim and more for a reasonable price. My only wish is that it could charge my iPhone! It's not that big of a deal because you can charge it while it's playing. But, if it could charge my iPhone it really would be the whole package.

Overall I'm glad I took the chance and purchased these speakers they are very neat and just what I was looking for.

I've been looking for a small enough speaker system for traveling for my iPhone for quite some time now and was hesitant at first to purchase b/c of it being a brand new product from a new company. However, I took the chance and it paid off!!! I love the livespeakR!!! It's so small and fits perfectly in my purse! You wouldn't believe how loud and clear these speakers are! I was honestly blown away by the sound quality coming out of such small speakers! It also comes with a velvet pouch which is also a plus! I would highly recommend the livespeakR to anyone!

My Livespeakr arrived only 2 days after I ordered UPS Ground, nice! The moment I pulled the Livspeakr from the brown Amazon box, I knew this was a step up from the various iPod/iPhone speaker systems I'd purchased in the past, and I've purchased several other models ranging from $49-$89. The Livespeakr packaging is very impressive, black cardboard, similar to something you'd expect from a big company like Apple. I've had the Livespeakr for a couple weeks now, and the box is still sitting here on my desk. I can't throw it away, because it's a pice of art unto itself, totally re-useable for travel storage and perhaps other uses. Additionally, the Livespeakr comes with a soft case for light travel. I un-boxed the Livespeakr, that's when I was even more impressed. This is a piece of beautifully engineered product. It's black and shiny, fits in your hand like an extension of your iPod/iPhone. The audio cable is tucked away in a trough in the iPod/iPhone holder. It twists into several shapes: storage-mode, portrait-mode, and landscape mode by twisting the iPod/iPhone carriage. It also includes a rechargeable battery with mini USB charging cable, which is fantastic. The price of the Livespeakr is offset by no more battery expenses, great! I charged it only once, and have been using it for nearly 2 weeks on a single charge. The only thing negative I can say about it, is that I wish it had an iPod dock connector, instead of having to connect the included audio lead and the iPod/iPhone power cable. When I turned the Livespeakr on, wow! The sound that comes out of this thing is LOUD and very clean. Bass response is extremely good for it's size and the price. I have been taking it to bed at night, and watching podcasts and movies in bed with it resting on my night stand. The fold-out stand on the Livespeakr lets you adjust the height and screen angle into many variations. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for high-quality iPod/iPhone speaker product with great sound!

I am very pleased with the unit. However, just like most things I buy, the instructions assume one can read the minds of the manufacturer. There was no mention of how to reverse the speaker cord, no mention that the charger light is red until the unit is charged, and, then, turns green, and no mention of how to set up the stand. Although I figured all the above out, it would have taken only a few minutes of the supplier to complete the instructions. I find that attitude disturbing considering the time that was spent engineering the unit so cleverly.

All that aside, I highly recommend the unit.

So ive been anxiously awaiting my Livespeakr as I have purchased two other portable speaker systems for my iPhone 3Gs and both gave me issues with feedback. The last set was a Jensen set ($20) and you get what you pay for plus an annoying clicking sound for some reason. I was concerned this system would not work well with my 3Gs because ive only seen one other reviewer mention that it did not work well with the 3Gs. I received my Livespeakr today and could not wait to hook it up, uncrated it from the cool box, set it up in all of 1 minute, hit play and viola.....great sound (for a mini system) and have played through 2 albums so far with great output, great quality. VERY COOL speakr system and happy with my purchase.
