I "field tested" this last summer in Albania under some pretty difficult conditions (no electricity). For a small unit, it delivers good sound. You'll never get great bass from a unit of this size, but amazingly you can get quite a bit of bottom end and room-filling volume. Used with my iPod, I was very impressed with the output and it filled a classroom with music. It was essential that the students hear English lyrics clearly and the Genius delivered in this area also. It can run on batteries or AC and I was impressed that my rechargable batteries lasted all week. A friend heard this unit and had to have one!

I purchased these speakers to hook up to a SanDisk Sansa e280. The result is great! Set up is easy. Plug in the a/c adapter to the speakers and the wall outlet, connect your mp3 player to the speakers with the included 3.5mm cord, press the on/off button and adjust the volume to your taste. There you have it... great sound made simple and easy.
If you want to take the speakers to the great outdoors, just bring along some AAA batteries and you're good to go. Since I have't used it under battery power, I can't tell you how long the batteries will last.
If you are looking for big box stereo sound from a $20+ portable speaker, you are going to be disappointed. If you are looking for relatively inexpensive, portable speakers for your mp3 player that give you good sound, you will want to click the little orange Add to Cart button up there on the right. You see it. Go ahead.. click it.
Update- 3/5/09- The unit takes 4 AAA batteries. I put some in to test it out and see...Read more

I just wanted something that I could plug my iPod Shuffle into so
I could listen to music while working in the garage. Don't like
being attached to those earphones all the time.
Anyway, for the money, this little box can't be beat in my opinion.
Runs on AC or battery. Does just what it says it does.
Comes with a small pouch and the audio cable to connect directly
to the iPod.
