Gave my daughter for Christmas, the chain is plenty of "noise" to his room !! Good agreement, it is not a high fidelity chain, but still, I was pleasantly surprised by the sound it produces and power. The bass is deep and well controlled high notes. This is perfect for listening to contemporary music via radio, CD, USB stick or an iPod / iPhone. Ipod dock and USB slot every 2 accessible on the top of the chain. A flap hides the ipod dock when not in use and a small automatic return drawer hides the USB connection. The drawer may seem a bit fragile. What to see in the long run. The chain like the ipod are steered using the remote control. Very good.
Small flat for its glossy black finish, which is very beautiful but lets see fingerprints and dust fairly quickly. One must keep a small cloth to wear hand ...
In summary, a beautifully crafted string that will delight teens or parents looking apoint a mini chain. And this is the Philips! +++
