User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Pretty good value
These speakers are my 3rd attempt at finding something I’m happy with. For the price, I would recommend these. They’re not perfect, but I am happy with them. They are weatherproof and have decent sound quality and decent volume. They have a/c adapters and they take 12 C batteries and this can get expensive I suppose. I like the auto-off and auto-on feature. I’m not happy with the remote; it doesn’t always turn the speaker on after they’ve been off for a period of time. I also wish it had a “mute” button. Anyway, good value.

5 Stars Pretty cool. Great value.
This speaker system works. Set up was easy. The sound is good. I added a third speaker to the two that come with the system, and it worked without issues. I have not tried the speakers out on battery, nor have I tested the waterproofness of them. Recommended.

5 Stars GREAT, but weak bass.
If you have your own or separate woofer, then these add ons work excellently as portable speakers.

5 Stars Happy camper
I have music playlists from Napster on my computer that I want to listen to in other rooms but running speaker wires would be impossible. These wireless speakers solve the problem very nicely.

I connected the transmitter to the computer, plugged the speakers into an AC outlet and turned on the music. Real easy. I’m no audiophile but I like what I’m hearing.

The only problem I’m finding is that the transmitter doesn’t pick up all audio signals. Napster and various online am/fm stations play fine but I can’t get signals from others such as AOL Radio or Pandora.

Still, a thumbs up from me

5 Stars great addition to the garage
I am able to listen to on-line music in the garage. I was able to hang the speaker high up out of the way.

4 Stars Simple, Sturdy, Great Deal
I’d also like to say that this withstood a wash & dry cycle–two actually–with the cap on of course. It’s still running like a champ with no dings and no errors. I prefer the cap to the other methods of covering the USB port (slide-out, rotate, etc). It’s sturdy and simple, nothing fancy here, and it doesn’t include a brand-spattered lanyard or whatnot to make you look like a computer-geek… Which, by the way, I am, and I have to say that the big review about the “slow write-speeds for small files” does NOT affect the average user, because most people are not doing that. Anyway, I’m rambling.. The point is, Kingston & Sandisk are probably the 2 top flash-drive makers, along with the other memory companies (A-Data, Corsair, PNY), so pick the one you like (for whatever aesthetic reason, or for the inclusion/lack-of ‘U3′ software) and go with it.

2 Stars Not very reliable
I just received this in the mail and within the first couple of uses it keeps freezing up. I’m trying to use it to transfer mp3 files. I’ve found that it works fine if you do it 1 file at a time. I haven’t really used it for much else yet. Although it’s a big 4gb drive it does not seem to handle a large amount of info at 1 time.

5 Stars Awesome deal for so much space with the Kingston DataTraveler 8 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive DTI/8GB
I bought this USB Flash drive because it was the best price I have found anywhere for 8 GB and I needed someplace to keep all the files that I do not access regularly. I plugged it in to my computer and within 5 minutes I had transferred all those files onto it, about 1 GB worth. They vary from photos to music to documents and emails. It took no more than a blip for each one to transfer, even the larger ones. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a way to store their files, or at 8 GB, to back up your entire system. These things sell for $50 and up in retail stores so this is a tremendous deal.

4 Stars Great Product
Receive on time and in excellent condition (brand new!!). I am pleased and would buy from seller again anytime.

5 Stars Flash Card
All the reviews I read on this product was correct. I would recommend this flash card for anyone whose need one. I find it easy to use and the price is so much better then the stores where i live and you get more storage space

1 Star Very Disappointing
I received this as a birthday present just shy of one year ago. The speaker sounded good, a bit hollow, but not bad for a single speaker. We used this for four months, then I put it away in the basement for the winter (to keep the battery from draining).

Pulled this out over the weekend, charged it overnight, and then…nothing. The battery would not hold the charge. I contacted Cables Unlimited and was told they do not make a replacement battery for this. Also, since it was 5 days over the one-year warranty period, they would not replace the speaker. So basically, we have a very plastic-looking rock that now works only when plugged into a power outlet.

I highly recommend everyone stay away from this product, unless they want to throw their money away for something with far-too short of a lifespan.

2 Stars Good sound, VERY inconvenient.
I bought two of these speakers for the area around my pool, thinking “Oh Boy! No more carrying a boom box out!” They are driven by a radio that is on my deck…a perfect setup, I thought.

The sound is ok (for a wireless rock, I guess).

But, the user manual states in the specs that they are auto on/off, and in another place in the manual it states that they will turn off after four minutes of getting no signal in order to conserve power, but it also states that they will turn on again when they get a signal again. So both spots in the manual agree that they are AUTO ON/OFF.

They do turn off automatically, but they do NOT turn back on automatically. Even if they are plugged into AC power 24/7, which mine are.

So, every time I want to listen to music I must turn on the radio on the deck, and then go down to EACH rock speaker individually and turn it on, and then go back and forth between the various rocks until I think the balance is correct. (They don’t retain your last volume setting, so I have to turn them on and then adjust the volumes again among the various rocks that I have).

If you only wanted to use these on special occasions and kept them in a closet charging the rest of the time, then turning them on manually is no big deal as you would have to visit each rock speaker as you carried it to its location anyway. But for someone who wants to leave them out most of the time (as I do), then they are not useful.

5 Stars Better Than Expected
After reading the previous reviews, I was ready for anything. How surprised I was at the great sound quality, especially the bass. The speaker is about 35ft from the transmitter. Setup was easy. Recevied it UPS in two days. I just ordered an “add-on” speaker. The only question mark will be durability since it’s outside. But only time will tell.

5 Stars Much better than expected.
I expected this speaker to be good, but it was much better than even my high expectations. Having had several sets of outdoor speakers, this one beats them all. Very clear sound wherever you take it.

The best thing is the rechargeable batteries! Can place it virtually anywhere. Guests are amazed.

4 Stars Satisfied
I bought this rock speaker based on other reviews. I had to send the first one back because it broke when installing it the first time. Things got better with the second one. Amazon made a quick exchange and I was back in business. The reviewers did not lie. Speaker has crisp, clear reception even when not in clear view of transmitter. Sound is about what I expected for a single speaker. Not great, but more than adequate for what we need it for which is piped in stereo sound on our deck. As long as you don’t expect bose type sound, you should be satisfied.
