First time a note: What do I expect actually, if I such a small Mono! Speaker buy? I do not expect sound quality as it comes out of my system with 5.1 speakers. It can not afford such a little dwarf well. I have bought this dwarf to replace the road or in the office to my speaker iPads. And that makes the dwarf really good. I can hear my music at my desk or my audio books in a quality that I had this little sound ball not really have expected in spite of the previous positive reviews. In addition, the included pouch provides adequate protection during transport, also this is also "misused" by me as a cleaning cloth for my iPad. All in all I am very satisfied and therefore awarded 5 stars.
