Panasonic Folding Travel Speakers (RPSPT70)

Summary: Just What I Wanted!
Review: I needed a boom box for the car and work, but feared the battery consumption in the car would be too much. Thus, I decided to get the Panasonic SL-SV570 portable CD player and these speakers, which both use AA batteries. It's all working great, too! You use the volume control of the CD player to control the speaker volume, and it's loud enough for in the car. Since I'm a treble person, I don't miss the loud bass sound of a boom box. I also think a portable CD player will last longer than the CD player on a boom box, and plays CD-Rs better. And I can't imagine much going wrong with these speakers. I can just toss them in my carry-all with the CD player, and not have a lot of weight to lug around. Both the player and speakers are silver and blue, too--almost totally color coordinated!

Summary: Almost perfect, but close enough
Review: Just purchased these speakers. The sound is amazing for such small speakers. The only noticable defect is the hiss that comes from the amplifier. This is counterbalanced by its ability to create such loud distortion-free sound.

It is great how the speaker cord has it's own storage place. When the speakers fold up into a small rectangular box shape, they also protect the speaker cord as well.

Certainly a great buy for the money!

Summary: Remarkably good! And at a fantastic price.
Review: This is an unbelievably good set of wireless speakers... excellent for a hotel room or any other travel situation that precludes a boombox. The size is smaller than a paperback book, and they weigh next-to-nothing.

I had purchased a similar item from Creative (the "TravelSound") that was TERRIBLE!, and they were twice the price of these Panasonics. (Perhaps I just got a defective unit, but the Creatives distorted the music horribly even at low volume.) The Panasonic RP-SPT70 sounds excellent, for both treble and bass, even at the CD player's highest volume setting... no distortion whatsoever. Obviously, there won't be any deep bass, but what you get is pure and satisfying.

Highly recommended!
