Product Description
At last - a micro speaker that delivers maximum sound! The SoundTraveller speaker delivers dynamic, crystal-clear audio reproduction from a unit small enough to fit in your pocket. Made from the highest quality materials with precision engineering, this micro speaker delivers a massive 3 watts of total music power from just 1 x AA battery. One battery will provide 12 hours of continuous playback - more than enough for even the most hardened of party fiends! The SoundTraveller features an on/off switch and an adjustable volume control, so you can have your music as loud or as quiet as you want, whilst the 5 volt mains-in socket allows you to power the unit from the mains or from your computer via USB. The SoundTraveller will work with any iPods with a dock connector but also has the added benefit of having an audio-in socket, so you can use it with other MP3 players, PDAs, PSPs, CD & DVD players and more! The sleek metal front and rear is complimented by the luxuriously soft silicon skin which wraps around the speaker unit, making this unit stylish and coveted. The SoundTraveller is available in Black, Blue, Pink, Red and Silver - so you can match your speaker to your mood! With the SoundTraveller, you have no excuse for being without music in your hotel room, apartment or even your tent! Small, compact and ultra-portable, this fantastic gadget will fit neatly into your hand luggage without taking up masses of space and you can watch others go green with envy when you crank up the volume! SoundTraveller is the ONLY micro speaker system to be seen with. Colors: Black, Blue, Pink, Red and Silver. Battery: 1xAA.

This isn't especially cheap but it is nicely packaged. The coloured parts of the 'cabinet' are soft touch. It has squashy rubberised feet on the bottom that stop it vibrating or wobbling if you put it down on a hard surface.
There's a tiny power switch on the back, along with a volume wheel, a line-in and a power-in connector. The supplied USB cable plugs into the power-in socket to power the speaker as an alternative to the battery. There's also a little cable to connect the device to anything with a headphone socket - i.e. something that's not an iPod. You get an AA battery too. For travel there's a slightly utilitarian semi-transparent plastic box that the speaker and its accessories fit neatly into.
The Soundtraveller is very neatly made and attractive. It looks cute with an iPod nano on top, especially if the colour matches. But I use it with my iPod Touch too and it's stable enough. Not so good for video with an iPod Touch or iPhone since you have to turn it on its side.
The iPod dock means you can plug your iPod straight onto it and you're ready to go. Using the dock connector bypasses the iPod's internal amplifier so the iPod volume control no longer works. The advantage is that your iPod battery should last longer than when you use headphones.
But how does it sound? Well, for a tiny speaker (actually there are two speakers, giving a slight stereo effect) powered by 1 AA battery, it sounds surprisingly good. The sound is quite crisp and undistorted at decent volumes (the LED on the front is supposed to flash if you've got the volume too high for it but I couldn't get it to do this - probably only happens when you use the line-in from an amplified source). Vocals sound pretty good. Everything else sounds detailed but of course there's no bass to speak of, so if you listen to bass-heavy music, forget it. Great for podcasts though. Volume goes more than high enough if you're in a fairly quiet place.
On the whole, I like it. It's a nice object that almost matches the style and quality of an iPod, while giving you the chance to let your friends hear your music without headphones. It's also highly portable and fully equipped with accessories, if a little bit pricey. You don't need an iPod to use it, but you are paying for that dock connector...

Really wonderful. It is really portable; charges your iPod; can be used with any other MP3 player (via a supplied lead); acts as a portable speaker for laptop.
I have had SoundTraveller speakers before, which lasted a good few years of being carted around the world. When they gave up, I waited a good 2 seconds before deciding to buy SoundTraveller again.
There is also a nice "geek" option - a solar panel as part of a bundle (which also includes a main adapter) - also available from Amazon. Soundtraveller Solar Powered K3000ST Bundle (Includes Solar Monkey) Music on the move! If you are a true techie or geek, then how can you refuse this little extra :-)

I bought this for my partner for Christmas and it is great. I have to admit I was a bit unsure about it when buying it as I thought with the size of it the sound quality would be bad but its the absolute opposite. It is so easy to use and a really handy size. Really good value also. I would recommend this to anyone and it is fab for holidays or traveling. The battery lasts forever too. 5*

cheap, good quality
Cheap with good quality.
I can't believe it's just 6 pound!
the speaker can be used in your room, e.g for a laptop.
not just for 'travel'

A great product for taking on holiday to enable the iphone/pod to play and be charged. It is small enough to put in the hand luggage. Recommended

What a pleasant surprise. I have many power traveller products but shied away from this one because of the cost. Bought one at £6.99 to try. So impressed just bought three more. Read more

Almost but not quite!
Not a bad sound from such a small unit. Probably sounds better with chill out music due to the lack of base. Read more
