StarbyI purchased one of these from the last drop, and I have a few other ipod/iphone speakers. This is good for use in a quiet space next to you, but in a space with other ambient noise it will be difficult to hear. It is by far the quietest of any portable speaker I have ever heard, even very inexpensive models.
MedicmanThis is quite true. It's basically just good for working next to you or bringing it to play for a few friends at the beach. It's not exactly for just listening to. Beats the hell out of the iphone speaker though.
