I came across these speakers for my ipod touch about a year ago now and they are very good. Also at a reasonable price at HMV which also came with many accersories like a new case and wall charger for my ipod.

Sound quality:
The speakers produce a very good sound with their 3watt speakers. It does not sound like a huge watt but for the price it is very decent and sound is not tinny at all.

Design:
the main reason for buying these speakers was for the ultra portable design; being only 16mm thick i can almost take them anywhere i go. Also the front docking part to place your ipod will fold in allowing you to easily store in any luggage bag or backpack.

Portability:
The speakers themselves are very portable with their design as i have stated but they also allow you to use them by using batteries instead of the a.c adapter included. When using batteries they do last a long time for up to 7 hours i have noticed. However if you use them all the time portably, you require 4 AA batteries which will cost a bit.

Reliability:
The product is very reliable as they are still in great condition after almost 1 year. I am also very confident of folding it up and placing it in mu luggage. They seem to be a very firm, hard product that will take a lot to brake.

A very nice product by gear4 at a good price.
