Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Good idea - shame about the space :-) Comment: This ideal for the traveller who wants some personal sound. Superb in the hotel room or in a tent. The NXT speaker is excellent with the exception bass but that is easily forgiven on a dark lonely night. Just ramp up your iPod to full volume and use the in built volume control to get the best out of it. The only down side is the size. The iPod classic flops around even when packed out with spare batteries and earphones. If price is your concern get this otherwise I would get the FX500. Customer Rating: Summary: In a word: Disappointing Comment: My expectations of this gadget were both raised and managed by previous reviews. I certainly wasn't expecting Hi-Fi quality sound, but I was hoping for something more than the weak, tinny and underwhelming noise it produces. On the plus side: it's a compact, light-weight and fairly well designed piece of kit - ideal for travelling etc - but, for me anyway, that doesn't compensate for the sound being inadequate and lacking any character at all. Sound-wise, my reference point is the PowerTraveller K2000 speakers - a robust mini system which produces an incredible sound for its size. Unfortunately, my set proved unreliable and after just four months started to cut out. Even so, I'm going to give the Powertraveller the benefit of the doubt and order them again, as the Kensington FX300 just doesn't cut it for me. Customer Rating: Summary: Amarzing Comment: I bought this for camping, and it arrived today, i was worried it would be too quiet for my needs but it is plenty loud enough, and i had to turn it down a bit for my own comfort! its a brilliant little gadget and i highly recommend it to anyone who is planning to go out and about, although overly noisy places (festivals) are not a good idea, but surely if at a fest there is plenty of good music already! Customer Rating: Summary: Not impressed with sound or build quality Comment: I read the other reviews on this product and thought it sounded perfect, but it's not! My main issue is it's far too quiet I bought it for listening to in the park and at festivals with friends, but the area where the music is audible is so small (<1 meter from the speaker) I may as well wear headphones as I'm the only one who can hear it. Also the sound quality is far from great, bass in pretty much non existant, I wasn't expecting that to be great but I hoped it would be a lot better than this. Playtime seems to be about 7 hours on two duracell aaa batteries playing at maximum volume (trust me you'll never turn it lower than the max) which seems pretty good to me. The case seems pretty tough and survived mud smears and splashes of rain at Glastonbury, it kept playing and protected my player well, the mud wiped off easily with a damp cloth and left no damage. Unfortunatly the volume control feels pretty flimsy, it sticks out from the body somehwhat and wobbles quite a bit, it's still attached at the moment but I wouldn't be surprised if it fell off. Overall I think this speaker is only good as an expensive and over large case for a player, look elsewhere for decent sound and volume. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent value for money, but not perfect Comment: As per the other reviews... really excellent value for money. If you have a Mac - sound level is equivalent to a 17" laptops speakers at about 90%. It's enough to fill a small room, like a small hotel room. I'd have liked enough volume for a BBQ setting... and would have preferred AA batteries (more life verses lighter weight). I kind of miss having stereo sound, and would have preferred the compartment to be a be thiner (though I realise not everyone is going to use this with an ipod). I STRONGLY recommend the product - for £19 it's great. I just wish they made a £25 version that was a bit louder and stereo! More Reviews
