Excellent Sound Quality, Small Size, and Overall High Value,

This review is from: Portable Sound Lab Handheld Speaker Case for iPod (Black) (Electronics)
I just purchased a pair of these iMainGo iPod speakers after reading positive reviews on Amazon and elsewhere on the web. I'm a finicky consumer as well as musician with a critical ear for sound quality. Given the positive reviews, I had high expectations going in -- and I must say that my expectations were exceeded in most areas.
1) The sound quality is very impressive for such a small set of speakers. The bass is full, the mids and highs clear and punchy, even at relatively high volumes. Each speaker is powered by a 2.5 Watt digital amplifier (according to the specs) -- which provides incredible volume considering its size. What's more, I didn't hear any clipping distortion that you typically find in many underpowered devices. Honestly, I don't know how they achieve the rich sound quality in this little set -- but I give credit to the engineering/acoustics team that obviously tackled this challenge with impressive results.

The IMaingo is the way to GO!,

I purchased the iSound and was definitely impressed. Fell in love with it. The ISound Audio Vault I purchased was pink. I decided I wanted it in black.I sold my pink one. When searching for the black ISound unit, I found the IMaingo. After reading the reviews for the IMaingo, I decided to purchase it. Actually, I believed it would be equal to the ISound. I had little faith, but purchased it anyway. Visually, it looked like the same unit. To my surprise, the IMaingo won! The sound is awesome! Much clearer and crisper. The bass is awesome. Also, the volume is much louder. It was worth the investment. As said in another review.."you get what you pay for". It protects my 80gb Ipod. I LOVE MY IMAINGO. I can't put it down!!!!

Great product - but needs a few design updates?,

Sound - The sound is very good on this portable speaker case for your MP3 player.
Protection - The protection it offers for your ipod is very good as well.
Convenience - is okay. This is not going to fit into your pocket. It might fit your coat pocket.
If it was smaller, though, it wouldn't sound very good. I am very pleased with the sound quality and usually can find a way to carry it where I want to use it. Size is about like a very thick small paperback book.
Power - A couple design flaws that don't bother me much - it has no AC power option. But batteries last 30 hours so it isn't a big deal.
Speaker protection - Also, the front grille is not very protective of the foil like speakers. I put my case in a basket and the magnet atracted a new paperclip (rounded) that made a dent in one of the speakers. They need a better grille.
And did I mention the sound? It sounds great!
