They can easily fit in a backpack or large purse.The only negative atribute I can find in these speakers is that they reproduce low volume when being used outdoors or in large open spaces away from the listener,(ie. These tiny speakers are just what you need for listening to your mp3's from your SE phone. I highly recommend to anyone with a Sony Ericsson Walkman phone. at the beach), but that's understandable given their size and the fact that they're passive speakers.Good sound quality, small, stylish accessory. They are small, lightweight, stylish and quite robust. Sound quality is surprisingly rich and full for such small speakers.Storing and carrying is easy with the included carrying case.
The radio funtion in my cellphone K-750i requires an antenna, which is apparently only available in a hands free. I am generally satisfied with these speakers, however there is one thing that was quite disappointing. I cannot use them to listen to the radio.
In fact, they are surprisingly robust and look very well made.As for sound quality, it is simply mandatory that you hear for yourself. I love being able to toss these into my purse and listen to music at work without headphones(I'm surprised Apple hasn't thought of this). Obviously, you cannot compare tiny phone speakers to full blown audio systems with subwoofers or heaping tower speakers, but I think you'll be surprised at the richness of sound, clarity, and loudness of speakers that are only mere inches in height. That is NOT what you are getting. These little guys stand only about 2" tall by 1" in width and thickness. So you've discovered the joys of being a Walkman owner and are looking to further enhance the joyous experience by also purchasing some "toys" for it. These nifty little speakers are certainly worth your while because they combine impressive sound into a great looking, extremely portable little package.Good things come in small packages. They arrive in their own little hard plastic carrying case which is a semi-transparent light blue.
They do NOT have a cheap plastic look or feel to them. Plus, it's cool enough to own a walkman phone(w810i,)but the sight of all this SE goodness forming this highly stylized and functional mini-unit is just plain awe-inflicting.Side Note: At the time of writing this review, Amazon currently had/has posted a second photo of a white desk stand as well. The sound is not "tinny," like one might expect.Essentially, by purchasing these, you are converting your walkman into a micro sized mp3 boombox that is more portable than any of the "real" things and sounds just as nice. These are the two little box speakers that plug into the bottom of the phone, whereas the desk stand is a completely different product called the MDS-60, NOT the MPS-60. These draw their power from the battery, but I've still gotten several hours of listening time from them at high volume on a full charge. When returned to their case, everything measures about 5"x2" and can EASILY travel with you in a backpack, purse, or perhaps even your pocket if you're wearing loose fitting jeans. You can also still use the radio feature with these plugged in as well. And yes, I do mean small.
It is not far fetched to compare the sound to smaller boom boxes, though I was still shocked at the richness even though I am accustomed to listening to my mp3's through 125W 5.1 satellites. Also, there is nothing toyish about the make and durability of them. They are tastefully designed in charcoal grey with a crisp white front panel and bright orange side stripes and wiring in the color of the SE walkman logo. In fact, they really don't take up much more room than a cell phone in itself.
