Got it from Groupon. Sound pretty good for price and size. My biggest complaint is that the sounds keeps cutting out/breaking up. Solutions anyone?

I have only experienced this when either the battery is getting low or my blue tooth is out of range.

The only time this happened to me is when I bought another Roland sound system that was used and returned it shortly to the store. My mobile cube is working fine. You might have interference coming in through that particular location so try another one, otherwise, I think you might have to return it or get it fixed; Yours could be an unfortunate lemon.

In regards to SoundSticks being short-lived, I suspect those speakers are being played at a sustained high volume. Remember, these are supplementary computer speakers. I wish someone who had these speakers stop functioning inside the warranty period would give us feedback on how it was handled by Harman Kardon.Thanks.

I also had an older Creature and I had a similar problem with the new one. I almost returned it before I finally got it to work. Everything seemed to be connected properly but there was no sound. The answer with mine was the connection of the power port on the subwoofer. It isn't as firm as it could be and because of that, it can be difficult to connect properly. And even after it it has been working, if the subwoofer is moved around a bit, the connection can be broken and the sound lost again. When you insert the plug into the port on the sub, try to wiggle it and see if that helps. If it doesn't, remove it, plug it in again and keep trying to move it around. Sooner or later, you should establish contact and get sound. At least, I did. Use of an electronic contact enhancer such as DeoxIt Gold G100L may be of help. This problem is due to a design flaw. If the connection was more solid, this should never occur. Unfortunately, it does. The speakers are so good that it's worth the effort to keep trying to establish a good connection. If you continue to get no results after a while, the problem may lie elsewhere and returning the speakers may be your only option. Please send in a review or comment to this reply and let us know if this has been of help.

I have never had a problem w/mine, it works wonderfully and has a great sound. I am wondering if your speaker is defective, and you need to return for an exchange? I am a trucker, my team mate and I both use it, in the truck and in the rest rooms while showering, and have never had a problem w/sound quality or reception. Either your speaker or the cable you are using to connect may be defective?

Sorry to hear that. The oneI purchased for my daughter are still going strong and my daughter plays it pretty loud. She loves her little speaker. She carries it in her purse when she is visiting with friends and takes it out to listen to her favorite tunes. It was a great investment. There should be a warranty on them. Contact Amazon and ask them for guidance. You must have gotten one that was defective. That happens. No complaints here.

The problem is not just the speakers. There isn't sufficient amplification to product acceptable sound levels.best to get a sound bar or an inexpensive receiver and speakers. YMMV

I have been having a problem with mine. The sound keeps kind of cutting out and cutting back in. It goes to a lower volume with lower sound quality and then goes back to normal. Has anyone else been having this issue or is my headset defective?

Me, too 1005HA, but mine last almost two years before the earphone jack gave out. Now all I hear with earphones is the secondary track . . .music, soundeffects, harmonies. BUT NO DIALOGUE. Ugh. Going to check out the sound card idea. Before the warranty ran out I called the service and they told me to reinstall the system. What? Then the warranty ended. So now, onto sound car shopping. This thing is worth $175 now according Amazon and I neeeeeeed this netbook to get lots of stuff done this fall!

I have one of the speakers and have enjoyed the sound quality and, the overall durability compare to other cheap speakers. The unit is charged VI a micro plug much like your cell phone. therefore you can charge it with an adapter through your wall. You can also use a USB plug to charge to your computer. I find that it's best to charge it off a wall plug overnight and it will run for a long time before it dies from power. I paid about 40 bucks for mine used, and find great success with the speaker, mostly the distance you can take your phone while still having music play through the speaker. I have at least 6 or 7 friends the now packed this speaker around. Good luck.

I haven't had any trouble with mine slowing down had it since July. Recently though the speaker has given out on it. It sounds blown I haven't had a chance to investigate the warranty yet, but it doesn't really bother me as I usually have it plugged into my car stereo or headphones.

We had the same issue and it went away after 2 days. We actually ordered a replacement because we thought there was something wrong with it, but ended up returning the replacement because the sound went away fairly quickly. I contacted the company and they do have a 90 day warranty if it continues or it can be swapped out through Amazon.

Sounds like a faulty unit, my last one only lasted a couple of months. It's just a cheap fun thing so I figured I would just replace them as they gave out... Since it came that way though I would say return it for a replacement.

It sounded very good to me till its worked. After a month it's started giving out clipping noise.it was so bad I stopped using it. Not able to go to loud but impressed me tonally.i loved it till its last .I have a fair home system; an Aragon amp preamp combo, Marantz CD player, Kimber cable connected to Totem Model 1' s speakers. The little 100A did a good job driving the Totems. Far muddier than the Aragons, but for the price they ask? Too bad it's not last long!!

Hmm. Sounds like the bluetooth connection is not solid. Can you try another device, maybe someone else's phone or ipad? If it doesn't skip with the second one then the phone of the first one may be incommpatible. If the second one skips too then the speaker is bad. The one I bought sounds great and there shouldn't be any skipping.

Hey Dano, I have this same issue on the my pair as well. Once the music starts playing its no longer noticeable.
