Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

The slim mono-body of the SBA290 portable speaker system slips easily into your pocket or bag. Share the powerful and realistic stereo sound stage with friends wherever you are, and experience amazing rich bass quality even at low volume.

Enjoy dynamic sound and powerful bass performance from your ShoqBox with XSL Acoustics. Impressive sound is produced by combining bright, brisk treble and mid range sound with elastic, powerful bass. Innovative use of high-tech materials like titanium cone and neodymium magnet deliver sound output that's nearly double the power of a traditional speaker driver of the same size. Precise tuning between the speaker driver, the small acoustic architecture and the circuitry ensures superbly dynamic sound and optimises bass performance from the smallest sound enclosure.

Activate the Dynamic Bass Boost (DBB), and the low end bass frequencies are electronically enhanced to achieve consistent sound reproduction, especially when the speaker volume is set at a low level. You hear impressive bass at all times.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Sexy Black Mp3 Philips Portable Speaker for your Sony MP3!, 4 Jan 2006
    I was a bit nervous about buying this portable speaker, as no-one had reviewed it, but I'm so glad I did is it it such a gorgeous little thing with great sound!

    Not only is it sleek, shiney and black on the front panel (silver on its behind), with a minamilist look, but it matches my black sony NW-A1000 an absolute dream! It has a little stand bit at the back to pull out, so that it stands on its own. It is fully compatable with the sony NW-A1000 and I'm sure many other MP3's as you only have to plug it into where your headphones would normally go. I was thinking about getting one of the speakers with a dock, but sony's one is mega expensive and the other so-called compatable speakers are really only for ipods, as sony's ones tend to fall out of the docking port.

    Looks aside, the sound is great, and easy to use, with 4 buttons on the top which all seem to pump the bass up - for such a little thing , I really didn't expect much sound, but you can blast this baby up to party volume! If you do have a sony MP3 like the NW-A1000/A3000, then I would advise that you find the code sequence off the internet to unlock the volume , so that you can turn up the sound on your MP3 player and the speaker set - really loud!

    The case for it looks nice too - only down side is, that I don't think you can fit the adapter into it too. I got it so there are some great deals around for it - espcially good for peeps who don't like the Ipod and have a different MP3 player.

    A fab portable system to slip into your bag, or carry room to room in your house (great for girls on getting ready to go out!)

    5.0 out of 5 stars OMG!!! This thing is ace!, 30 Jan 2006
    Well, i have just opened up this puppy and it is immense. First off, it looks the business. Its very sleek, and looks and feels durable and well built. It is perfect size, not too big that it is chunky, and not too small that it is pointless. Comes with a very nice carry case too.

    The best thing though (and the reason why you have to buy this) is the incredible sound! I was sceptical about what this could really do in reality but i am amazed. It sounds just as good as my Logitech Z3 speaker system (which has a huge sub) and im not joking! I have no idea how it does it.

    Can be powered by battery (6 AAA's - which is quite a lot really!) or by AC/DC input using the supplied adaptor.

    For £24.99 i guarantee you wont be dissapointed...i am thoroughly satisfied.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great!, 23 Aug 2006
    Was having a difficult time searching for some reliable portable speakers to go with my non-apple mp3 player. read user reviews on Amazon and ordered it. I can say i've not been let down by the sound coming out of them considering what I paid. Took them on holiday and my mates couldn't believe the sound that was coming out of such small speakers. nice and lightweight - the only drawback is you have to choose between filling it up with something like 6-8 AAA batteries or take the heavy AC adaptor with you.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed - but better than average for a bad bunch
    Max volume was not so great and I'm not a volume junkie. I've had JBL Ontour's (which went faulty) so I know little speakers are capable of a much better output. Read more
