 excellent product! March 10, 2010
N. Harris (NYC)
I am so glad I bought this product. It is excellent and works easily with my computer and BlackBerry. I love it!
 big sound in a little package March 3, 2010
Katydid (Texas)
I bought this to use with my mp3 and cd player.
The cord is very short but for $4 (s&h included) I bought a 6' extension cord thru Amazon.
The sound is good for what the product is. Of course, there are no sound adjustment options as are available on bigger units, but that is ok with me. I was wanting something to use while I am camping, on the patio, in the car (my car's cd player is broken), etc.
As others have said, the case is a very tight fit. I really have to work at it to get the unit into the case. I don't have a problem with the unit being turned on (accidentally) while in the case though. However, most of the time I don't use the case. I can wrap my extension cord around the unit when not in use. Since I am using an extension cord I don't feel the need to completely unwrap the unit's cord, thereby solving the concern that the pressure on the short cord might over time make the wires break up close to the unit.
I would suggest removing the batteries when not in use. I don't find the batteries hard to install or uninstall. This would prevent something which happened to me. While I was sleeping, the unit (which was on my nightstand) started buzzing very loudly (a rude awakening I can assure you!) because the batteries had run down. I have not tracked how long the batteries last. I use rechargeables. As I keep AAA rechargeables on hand for other items, I am not disturbed that it uses them instead of the AA batteries.
Overall a nice product.
Good all purpose speaker March 3, 2010
Thomas Shumaker (Wheaton, IL USA)
I purchased the iM237 to play voice files on my laptop computer. For this purpose, the small speaker preforms well and can even serve for IPOD play back in a pinch. Overall, sound is lacking in bass and it will distort at high volumes. However, its small size makes it a good companion for mobile use. Recommended.
Great things come in small packages March 3, 2010
F. Wantuch (Cypress, CA, US)
I purchased this portable speaker to go along with my Mp3 player, the first thing that I noticed was it has great sound for it's size it will fill an average room up with some good clear music, the batery life is very good also for 3 AAA batteries, so far everyone that has listened to it they were impressed with it's sound quality.
Great Sound with interesting side effects March 2, 2010
John Rawkon (City of Angles)
This portable speaker is really fantastic. Not like the cheap 'tinty' speakers from other companies- this speaker is portable enough for easy storage, but packs a solid full sound. But for anyone who has already purchased this speaker, try this test out for size. Play The Beastie Boys "Time for Livin'" off of the "Check Your Head" album on this speaker and somehow you have a flawless instrumental version of the song. No joke. I assume some of the 'noise filtering' technology actually removes the vocal track from the song. Other than this anomaly, this really is a great little speaker. Highly Recommend! Good Times!
