Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I did not have a chance to compare the sound of this unit directly to other similar units, but my subjective sense is that it has decent sound for the size. It also cranks out a lot of volume - more than enough for what I am using it for (a speaker in the kitchen while I do chores). The bass response is much better than I would have expected. The unit closes to fold fairly flat (a little more than an inch), which is nice if you need to pack it up and move it. It includes a rechargeable battery should you want to take it with you to some location where there is no place to plug in. I can't imagine needing that myself, but perhaps if one wanted to take their music camping, it would be a good choice. I experimented with the battery a bit. After two full hours of non-stop playing, the battery indicator still showed full.
The controls are fairly simple and obvious. It includes adapters for various iPhone models. Unfortunately, as is typical of these devices, you have to...Read more

The sound is good and the volume can be turned up extremely high without any distortion. It is not as clear as some of the high end sound systems (Bose, Fidelio, etc) but it is still pretty good. The portability features are great.
Pros:
Small footprint: It's roughly the size of a box of tissues so it easily fits on most desks or nightstands.
Clock: I love that it doubles as a clock and alarm. I have it on my desk and the clock is bright and easy to read.
FM Radio: I like having the ability to listen to the news/weather when I don't have my ipod plugged in.
Rechargeable: It's nice to have the option of bringing this into another room or outdoors without plugging it in.
Portability: It folds very easily and would be easy to pack to take on vacation.
Remote: The remote (comes with battery) gives you full to access your ipod menu and allows you to switch from ipod to aux to radio as well as the control the equalizer.
Cons:

I am using my ipod with this system. The music sounds great. It took just a few minutes to figure out how to work. It comes with a rechargeable battery, so it will play plugged in or not. The remote control works well, too. Setting the clock and alarm is easy. This is a simple and satisfying way to listen to my ipod in the house---the entire house from a little speaker.
I didn't have any problem tuning into radio stations that came in well even without the antenna.
The remote control is a little unreliable. The range the product suggests is 15 ft, but I found it unreliable even within that distance. It often requires several pushes and moving it around.
