Cable breakage at the weak point and was gone the listening !!!

That is why I would refer to my picture, on which I have pointed out the fundamental flaw of MOBI: The cable outlet of the housing at the bottom of the speaker.

Because the cable is necessarily bent and the mechanical stress has led us to the fact that it is broken. And now we must again look for a new mobile speaker, after only 10 months (Purchase Date: 7.1.2011).

Key points!

What we (my wife and I) used the speaker?

- Exclusively for listening to audio books
- Music for the speakers compared to our old (iPhonic A100) was much too quiet and bassarm

Advantages of MOBI:

- Very compact, especially by the "folding mechanism" in order to reduce the height of the speaker again can
- Very long battery life (for days listening to 3-4 hours each); given here for 8 hours of listening can be achieved at least
- Very slight speakers (especially because of the internal battery)
- Very robust housing (as is all fixed and nothing creaks)
- Audiobook (human language) suitable
- On-off switch
- Very low power consumption when the loudspeaker is on, but no signal from an MP3 player comes (the speaker iPhonic A100 was in such a case always fast empty)

DISADVANTAGES of MOBI:

- No automatic switch-off during charging (not discernible at least for me)
- Only conditionally recommended for music (compared to speakers iPhonic A100 definitely)
- Extremely poor positioning of the cable outlet or too thin and not shatter-proof cable
- Rubber nubs on the three stand feet are attached (danger of losing it, is great, and then the speaker will vibrate on hard, smooth surfaces at high volumes)

Who has counted, will recognize that I have enumerated more advantages than disadvantages for the speaker. Why he gets yet only 2 stars is due to the not only existing abstract danger of a cable break. Since I can not repair, the money is gone for me and I may make one more time to the search for an ideal audio book speaker thus. The remaining two stars are due to the fact that you may well have a lot of fun with it with the right treatment speaker.

From us there is still not advise.

EDIT:. As always, the mobilization regarding the Amazon service of the faulty speaker was absolutely exemplary. To this end, I can only recommend everyone buys the item, unless an election is made, whenever possible through Amazon. Ll really is no longer now.

By the way: We have now opted for a RAIKKO XL and thus have the "jack of all trades" found. All the benefits of MOBI and so far no disadvantages. (Indicated by red LED on when he is charged; also music sounds good on him; the rubber studs are glued and can if necessary be replaced simple because the contact surface is flat)

EDIT: (22.02.2012) Interesting. I am only just noticed that my photo has been "cleared". I can hardly believe it. Well: The fact remains that this speaker is not recommended. Meanwhile, we still bought the active RAIKKO Dance Mini to where even a separate charger is included. And this speaker trumps the XL Vacuum yet by far. Who the few euros more investment is not afraid, who gets a really great overall package and is guaranteed to have more fun than with the Wave Master.
