Some Walkman series Sony Ericsson phones include the MPS-60 speakers in the box content... Others don't. I had to buy them separately. At first I was just looking for some cheap speakers that I could use in my office, so I didn't have to use headphones all the time. I was thinking about buying some regular speakers and plug them into the jack of the HPM-70 handsfree that comes with the phone. Thanks God, a friend told me about these wonderful speakers ...
...What Can I say about the MPS-60??? They're great. They are very very cheap (cheaper than regular speakers), they have an excellent design... a simply nice looking design that goes with your SE Phone and they sound just AWESOME. At first, when I opened the box I thought to myself: "They look nice, hope they sound OK"... Man, let me tell you... They sound more than OK.. they are very very very LOUD. You control the volume using the volume control ... Read review

Advantages: Good sound quality, easy to use
Disadvantages: Quite expensive

I live with my mum and she has an ipod so i thought that this would be a good christmas present for her. Since i got her it i have heard her 200 songs repeated over and over again because she is so pleased with it. The sound quality is very good and when turned up it penetrates walls clearly (not sure if thats good or bad). The bass isnt as strong as i would like but the quality makes up for it. The design is good and it came in a good carry case ...
...example. It is easy to use, and made even easier with the small and stylish remote control. The one downside to this option is the price. It is a very good product but if you got on ebay you could find slightly larger and in my opinion better sound systems. However, for what it is, a sound dock, it is a good choice if you want good quality, ease of use, and money is not a big issue. ... Read review

Advantages: clear, crisp sound, no matter the kind of music
Disadvantages: none

My husband got this for me, with an iPod classic, through a rewards system at work. We didn't have to buy it, but now that we have heard it, we would spend the money for it in a heartbeat. Clean, crisp, elegant sound, even with the volume booming. Not a hint of distortion when cranked full-out. I love this system! It's compact, easy to use for non-techies, and sounds just amazing. There's nothing I don't like! It's easy to move, and the kids love ... Read review

Advantages: Hi Def Sound, Portable, Remote
Disadvantages: Price

...research, I decided on this Bose unit. The Bose name is notorious for high quality and great sound our of a small package. The price was a little higher than most other speakers at $399.00. I decided that it was worth the extra money to have something name brand. When I received the box at my door, I realized how small it was and was worried that I wouldn't be happy with my purchase. When I unwrapped everything and plugged it in, the sound that started ...
...great! The sound that comes from this system is comparable to a large stereo. You have to hear it for yourself. It is great because you can either plug it in or charge it up and take it anywhere. It also comes with a remote that controls your iPod perfectly. ... Read review

Advantages: Portable, choice of battery or AC power, charges while playing
Disadvantages: Have to unplug before putting iPod in dock, no remote storage

When I was given an iPod mini, I was given this speaker dock shortly therafter. Having a speaker dock made my iPod that much more versatile. I primarily used this speaker dock on my desk at work. It was so much nicer to look at than my old boom box. Sound Quality: Despite having such small speakers, the sound quality is quite impressive. It doesn't handle low bass notes very well, but that doesn't really bother me. Part of it might be because I ...
...notes, since I'm right next to it...and I'm at work. For a portable dock, however, having the best sound quality is not the most important thing. The sound is clear enough for my purposes. Design: Sleek and simple. This left a small footprint on my desk. It's designed for portability - the base folds down so that you can set it upon a flat surface. Fold it back up into the flat position and you can carry it with you (it comes with a carry case which ... Read review
