2 day delivery?! Oh yeah! The case fits perfectly except I have an aux cord in my car that doesn't fit with this case. It's not a deal breaker but I have to take off my case in order to plug my aux cord in. I like the opening for the speaker so music still sounds clear and loud. There are coverings over the lock button and volume buttons and it's still easy to use them. I hope it protects my phone in the future!

I bought this based on the reviews and also based on the dimensions.
I have a South Shore City Life Wall-Mounted Media Console and my previous speaker was 1/4 too wide to fit in it.
After reading reviews I settled with the TL2. that's the right size for me.
I am pleased with the sound it produces. I found that the vocal might be a little clearer than my previous Technics SBC-500A.
I think the trebles are more pronounced than before.

All-in-all, I think the speaker is passable. I got it because I travel quite a bit for work and I was getting tired of bringing my larger bluetooth speaker with me, only to be asked by TSA to move to the side so they could test it for explosive materials. This speaker is significantly smaller than my current bluetooth speaker and I'm hoping it won't give me any problems at the airport.

Anyhow, at max volume it's not overly loud ... except for the guy's voice who speaks to you. It's a little annoying because he's really loud, regardless of what the volume setting is for your music. It would've been nice to have the option to turn it off or at least had his voice adjust to the current volume of your music. Also, since we have to listen to the guy talk, it would've been nice if they gave Rocketman a cooler sounding voice. It seems like they just asked some random guy, sitting in a cubicle jungle at Malektronic to record his voice. Yes, I know I'm being nitpickey. Aside from that, it's easy to operate, the sound quality is decent for the price range, and it's cute looking.

I gave this product 4 stars instead of 5 because I think the description and photos make the speaker seem smaller than it really is and because I think the natural tone of the sound is too high for someone to use these as all 5 (or 7) of their speakers.  For my purposes, which is that I wanted rear speakers that disappeared into the walls, I'd give it a 4.5 because the sound is good for surround speakers, the white color helps it disappear, and even though the size is larger than expected, it has a cool shape.

SOUND:  I am using these speakers as my rear surround speakers in a home theater setup (5.1) that I also use to play music sometimes.  The sound is very clear and the white color makes them blend into my walls nicely.  The speakers tend to transmit more treble than bass - this is fine for surround speakers, but I am not sure that I would like to use these speakers for my fronts - it might depend on the subwoofer I use and what bass/treble adjustments I can make at the receiver/amplifier level - and I am almost positive that I would not want to use this as my center-channel speaker.

SIZE:  The shape of the speakers are really interesting and allows you to lay it on a surface at different angles, which is useful if this will be used as a bookshelf speaker.  The attachments make installing the speakers very easy (I installed mine on the wall).  These speakers are small, but I was surprised that they weren't even smaller - the photos make them seem smaller than they really are.  The title calls them 4.5" speakers, but that refers to the main speaker driver (the larger circle under the grill that gives the mid and bass sound - the grill is not removable, by-the-way), not the size of the speaker casing.  I cannot securely hold the speaker with 1 hand, but it should still be considered as one of the smaller speakers on the market.  It is just not amazingly small.

SIDE NOTES:  This speaker comes in many colors.  For those of you (like me) with white walls, if the speaker wire is going to show, it is worthwhile to spend a little more money to get "in wall" speaker wire even if the wires will not go in the wall.  Most "in wall" wire that I have seen only costs a little more and the wire casing is white, so it looks better.  You can still differentiate the positive and negative wires by patterned markings that are only noticeable close up.

Don't know if this matters to anyone, but on this setup, I am using Klipsch Quintents as my center and front speakers.  I also have a Klipsch powered subwoofer.  The reason I didn't use the Klipsch speakers for my rears is that they are black.  I took the 2 Klipsch rears that came in the package to upgrade my speakers in another room.  The Klipsches are better speakers than the boston acoustics - the sound is richer and fuller and the size is similar.

The sound is fine. The only problem is the limited opening on the clip. It only opens about 3/4" max.

It doesnt get as loud as I would like, but the sound is rich, the bass if strong enough, over all good speaker. Also, you can change the cover on it.

I bought this speaker for $60 and I am pretty surprised how good the music sounds from this speaker. It easily connected with my Iphone 4 and the connection has been very good. My main purpose for the speaker is to be able to listen to music on my iphone (stream music using Pandora) while I am studying/relaxing in my room. It serves the purpose so for me it's worth the money.

The sound is good. A little awkward to join because of the Bluetooth button location.

The sound quality is good, I like the size. It is heavier than I thought it would be, but I do like that. It feels very sturdy, not very likely to tip over.
I wish it would hold a charge longer. I haven't timed how long it lasts, but it doesn't last as long as my JBL blue tooth speaker, which lasts at least four hours. My JBL is smaller, lighter than the TDK, and it doesn't weigh near as much.

Even though it doesn't hold a long charge, I would by it again.

The speaker looks great, sounds great, and I've never had an issue with battery life. It is pretty narrow though so it falling is a thing that happens if the surface is a bit uneven or tilted. I also wish the buttons were physical but the fact that they can be locked reduces my issue here.

My main concern is that when I turn it on, everyone has to know that I did. When I bought it, I tried using the radio at the lowest volume but it turning on is so loud that it didn't make sense.

There is a delay in audio but I think you'd get that with any speaker or device using this Bluetooth standard.

The bluetooth speaker works fine, but I would like to see the MP3 resume feature implemented in the microSD slot. Everytime I power on the speaker, it always start playing the 1st song from the beginning. Hope the manufacturer can issue a firmware update to solve this issue. Otherwise, every other feature is perfect.

I purchased this Bluetooth speaker a couple of weeks ago and it is pretty good. I would have given it 5 stars if the volume was a little higher on it. in a big room it gives off a good quality sound. I bought this with the intentions of using it for my laptop and iPhone at home a also to bring it on one of my monthly camping trips but it doesn't get high enough to really make it worth using at the camp site. but again, for the price you cant go wrong as long as its indoors or for a small BBQ in the backyard. If I had the chance to buy this again or pass, I would still buy it since my main purpose was for the laptop and iPhone. I hope this helps in you decision making.

Got this to replace a $9 speaker that died. This one provides louder sound that is pretty clear. I use it primarily for audiobooks and its plently loud for most of them. (A few books have inherently low sound.)

I say mostly clear because speaking sound frequencies come out fine but with some books, the initial phoneme gets clipped, particularly with some library mp3 files that I listen to at 1.25X Speed. This is most common after longer pauses so most of the text in apter enty two comes through. Since I don't know how much of this is from the mp3 source, blutooth sender, or blutooth receiver, I won't dock a star. (I could use the headphone jack to test but I don't use that setup much. I like that I have the option tho.)

I like that there are flashing/dancing led light options including no lights for when I listen at bedtime.

I mostly keep the speaker plugged in. It seems to last about 2 hours when unplugged. An earlier low power warning wouldnt hurt but for the price.

Works fine also for radio/itunes music. If you're a bit of a sound quality geek, this reviewer cant help you - volume seems to be the only setting control. I put nail polish on/near the buttons to help is which is which. I find the urpower speaker sufficient to my tasks for reasonable cost (~$20).

The speaker works well, connects no problem.  Volume is decent for the size of the speaker, but sound is not rich.

Overall I'm happy with this speaker, the pairing was easy, the material is durable and the sound is decent for the small size. The sound does however lack much base, which is inline with what I would have expected given the small size.

Just a note for anyone that skips reading instructions like me; the volume buttons server dual purpose, a single click advance the song, a long hold turns up the volume.

This product was provided at a discounted price in exchange for my honest review.

I also want to stand up for this item and I've never written reviews on amazon before, though I used to do them for the gaming media.  Anyway I'll keep it very brief.  It works, and while some say you get what you pay for, I think it works a bit better than the $10 price of admission.  The device seems to be solidly built and it has a decent speaker for what it is.  The timer on it works like a charm for 3 different time settings or it can just be left on.  The four different sound effects it has loop well and sound pretty solid and mostly unique (dockside and ocean are pretty similar.)  I'd have given it a five star rating but it does appear to suffer from being capable of having the volume cranked up louder than the speaker can handle.  If you go more than 3/4 of the way up it gets very very loud for the size and to the point it almost drowns out the clarity of the sound effect ruining the soothing effect.

If you want a simple sound device that's small, battery powered, has a decent selection and speaker this should be good for you.  Personally reading the other reviews here I'm suspicious that they got defective items out of the box and instead of realizing that ran here to complain instead as the internet is the breeding ground for the negative vocal minority.

I bought this unit reading through all the reviews and setting my expectations accordingly. I have no specific comments or complaints on the delivery or the packaging (which were good as per the stated / unstated standards set by vendors these days).

The music played well with this speaker and though the amplification wasn't much, I could say it was a necessary and a useful addition to my Lenovo laptop. This was noticeably better than the laptop speakers and I enjoyed watching movies and youtube videos much more. I think this speaker will be more useful to those looking to get a sound output from a music device like ipod without having to plug in a headphone all the time. But if you were looking for a speaker that amplifies the sound output (like from a tablet, which have reasonably good speakers themselves) then you may want to pass on this product and look for others.

There's one grudge though: When I try to charge the unit and also play music in parallel (using the supplied combination cable) the unit emits an eerie static that cannot be neglected. its quite loud. The noise goes off when I either disconnect the USB power socket or the 3.5mm adaptor from my laptop. Which effectively means that I can either charge the device or play it, but not both. I don't know if this is a defect in my piece alone or a noted feature of the device. I am going to try and get an answer to this from iHome and based on that will decide whether to keep or return the product.
