This review is from: Philips SBA1700/37 MP3 Portable Speaker SBA1700 Universal (Grey) (Electronics)

have been looking for big sound for a lil' price. saw this at target for thirty bucks and am pleasently surprised how loud it is. its the closest thing ive heard to hundred dollar plus equivalent speakers. i wanted a rechargable unit but not realistic so batteries are inevatable. for two watts it fills the room with sound and fits in the palm of my hand. bass is lacking but for a speaker thats three inch at best its the best i've heard at this size and price. cant comment on battery life (just got yesterday) but if i get twenty hours (like stated) i'll be happy. comes with little black pouch that my mp3 player can fit in to, and there is a "on" indicator light (amber in color) underneth the speaker grill by on/off switch. the base has a "springy" type flip to it that folds up and down so you can angle the speaker in your direction, it folds away seamlessly. the cord can be plugged in the speaker but not un plugged? theres a lil' tab on 3.5 mm jack that you turn to lock in so you could...Read more

Great Little Speaker, December 10, 2010

This review is from: Philips SBA1700/37 MP3 Portable Speaker SBA1700 Universal (Grey) (Electronics)

I was looking for something to give some "oomph" to my iPhone music and this meets my needs perfectly. At first I was concerned about battery life, but I've had it for about 5 months and I listen to it most mornings for 15-30 minutes and I'm just not needing to change the batteries. It does distort a bit when the volume is turned all the way up, but I've found that even at below-max volume, this little speaker will fill a room nicely. I've also used it for background music when friends were over. For the price, you can't beat this speaker and I highly recommend it.

This review is from: Philips SBA1700/37 MP3 Portable Speaker SBA1700 Universal (Grey) (Electronics)

For a $30 speaker it sounds much better than the phone's speaker. I use it all the time at work with Pandora radio on my DroidX. Battery life is good..proportional to the quality of batteries you put in it...would recommend to anyone looking for decent portable sound at a good price.
