 Great Product May 15, 2008
I'm so happy with this product, It was cheaper than other places, It provides good sound, Easy to carry because the wheels.Also uses it for my drums.
I recommend this item.
 Great unit. March 28, 2008
Main question: is it loud enough? Answer: yes.
While it wont host a party for 200 at the beach (open air)... it's plenty for house parties, pool/jacuzzi parties, etc.
The XLR mic attachment is great for a wireless mic setup. I tossed the included mic and cable, and used my own wireless mic. The iPod doc is great. The battery life if superb. It rolls. It's solid. and it fit in the overhead bin of a Continental airlines plane :)
Cons: no case, no cover, no protection for the buttons. the expandable handle arrived with a kink in it, which made it difficult to open/close, but i was able to adjust that with a pair of pliers. The expandable handle is a bit weak, and since it's on the outside of the unit, it makes it a bit more difficult to stick under the seat on an airplane.
You probably guessed i bought this unit to travel... i did. I'm fairly happy with it's portability, but it was not made for flights... its a nice coincidence that the measurements, weight, and roller capabilities match airline restrictions. I'd be happier if it were airline portable, and had a case or protective covering (for when it needs to be checked).
All in all, I've found the unit to be very useful, and I'm happy enough with it to buy another, recommend it, and write this review.

This item works better as an iPod dock than as a PA system. Although it comes with a serious mic (not a toy), the amp and speakers do not clearly project high fidelity the purported half a football field in either use. Otherwise, it meets all other claims. The case and hardware are solidly built; the autonomous rechargeable feature is great for picnics, camping, yard work, etc. and its strong point is its flexibility for a unit this size. This is a fine system for casual use; however, I would not recommend it for professional musicians or karaoke-ers.

This PA system works well and the battery lasted as long as advertised,about 6 hours. The volume carried clearly across an open field. The music also sounds pretty good when played on high volume. With the extra input options, my son also uses it as a portable amp for his guitar.
One small complaint...It would be handy if it had a remote for the ipod player like other ipod speakers. This would allow me pause the player during baseball practice when we need to stop for verbal instructions.

I am using this item as a PA system for wedding ceremonies and it had been ideal. I own a DJ service and many times I am asked to provide music for the ceremony and reception. This is perfect for ceremony and rehearsals without having to set up a complete outfit. It ran on a charge at medium volume(master and ipod vol)for nearly 48 hours. Good value
