Pretty good sound for speakers this small. I use it with a portable satellite radio and take it everywhere. The biggest problem I have with it is that there is no external off switch. In order to turn the speakers off you have to slide the cover closed which requires you to remove the audio in and power cable. It gets annoying.

I got these speakers to do presentations on when traveling. They are small enough to slip into my lap top bag and battery powered. The sound however is quite good and I'm now using them instead of my much larger computer sleakers with my oPod at my desk.

First and foremost, I love the sound of this piece. It really kicks up the sound up a notch when you plug in your mp3 player, computer or what not. Sound is crisp and clear and I have no problem with the delivery or performance of sound.
Now the nitpicky stufff. The cover slides way too easily, sometimes sliding the speaker close half way. I also wish there was some kind of an attachment to stand the mp3 player on top of. The cords can also get a little tangled up, but that's the nature of any speakers with wires I suppose. I really, really hoped it came with an on/off switch or button, because otherwise, you pretty much would have to unplug the device to power off. That's my biggest gripe.
Aside from that, if you want quality sound, you can't lose with this product. That almost makes me forget all the design flaws with the product. Almost.

Buy this if you want an extremely portable speaker system that sounds good at most ranges and loud volumes.
I like the JBLs a lot. They make a very good on the road portable. The protective shell slides over the speakers. The little speakers kick out very good sound for their size and are only slightly weak in terms of their bass sound. They run well on batteries and do not drain them too quickly. They plug in easily to anything with a headphone jack. The weakness are: (1)with all the brilliant design, they do not have an off button, this means that you cannot use it as a computer speaker without unplugging it and replugging it or having a blinking light that tells you that it is not in use,(2) if you up the volume to max on both your MP3 and the JBL at the same time, you could hurt the speakers, so it is good to adjust the volume cautiously, (3) the low volume indicator is not always reliable and can reflect temporary volume surges in a piece,and (4)it may sound very distorted, which means that you have to make sure that it is plugged in all the way and firmly (that solves it). I did artfully combine the JBL with a subwoofer and found the sound was wonderful.
Have owned these for almost a year. Ideal for road warriors who want to unwind in hotel room after a busy day. Decent quality of sound that is good enough for a small room. Form factor and 4 AAA battery operation make it truly portable.
