Product Description
Looking for an amazingly cool and portable speaker system for your iPod or Mp3 player? This genius gizmo is the answer... One of the best looking mini Mp3 speakers we've come across... The front grill, corner protectors, and leather-esque finish make it extremely authentic. If you're looking to crank your music up to 11, then this is your best bet. The Mp3 Amp can be used with any Mp3 player (with a standard earphone socket) or as a computer speaker. It comes with a USB lead, so can be powered directly from your computer or by 3 x AA batteries. This versatile amp-style Mp3 speaker contains a premium grade speaker unit, so your music is crystal clear and loud enough to rock any party. The three control knobs adjust the volume, treble and bass to suit your tastes - the first Mp3 amp we've seen that allows you to adjust treble, middle and bass.

Little amp goes a long way

Well, I'm going to keep it short: I originally saw this on play.com and thaught "yea, that'll be cool around the house and for the summer'. At some point over xmas, I mentioned it, and the rest you can guess.

The first thing that hit me was the authenticity of it! From the metal grill on the front to the texture and the protected corners, it looks every bit the real amplifier (this is coming from a guitarist / bassist). It is clear with effective bass and treble control. It's 5 watts, which is perfect for camping, festivals or just student digs.

I would recomend it to any one who asked me about it. The one gribble I have with it is the lack of mains power. It can be powered through USB or by 3 x AA batterys. Still, you can buy usb to mains adapters damn cheap these days, so i'm not knocking marks off for that.
You should totally get one of these, like

This ampy thingie is fantastically cool. It really does look like a wee amp, and when people see it, they invariably give a whispered "ooooh" before grinning happily. Really, this thing makes people smile.

It has Bass, Treble and Volume dials, and you can also adjust your volume via yer actual MP3, also, so if you're looking to rattle windows, crank it up to 11 (metaphorically... it's awesome, but it's not ironic) on both MP3 and amp and away you go. The top volume really does pack a punch, though, so you may want to experiment a little. Equally, the Bass and Treble dials aren't just there for decoration - they completely alter the sound quality, and increasing the Bass really does increase the bass. It comes with 2 cables - one to attach to your MP3, and another so you can attach it to your pooter via USB.

It runs on AA batteries and you have to use a mini screw-driver (or spoon) to un-do the battery lid so I was a little worried about having to change them a lot. You never know with gadgetry whether it's a battery-killer or a battery-camel. This is a camel. Duracel Ultra batteries went in mid-way through last December and after at least 80 hours of play, it's still going strong. It was so long ago I can't even remember if it took 3 or 4 AAs... but I remember thinking it was a jolly silly number, so I suspect it was 3. (Bit like Bill Bryson's ire at the way hot-dogs come in packets of 8, while the hot-dog buns come in packets of 6...)

But, you know, that's barely a concern when everything else about this is so super fantastico. One of the large supermarket chains that Jamie Oliver hawks things for (actually, does that narrow it down?) was selling them before Christmas, and if you're lucky, you may still find them there. But it would have to be very expensive indeed for this to not be a bargain.

This little speaker is amazing! I use this to play BBC dance podcasts to my class in a school hall and we can it hear it clearly wherever we are. It is lightweight and works really well with my lap top as well as my MP3 player. Highly recommended.
Brilliant

I bought this as a secret santa present for one of my colleagues who loves music. This went down a storm, looks like a mini guitar amp, the treble, bass and volume controls actually work, and also can be powered by batteries or your usb port. The sound reproduction is also very good, no tinny sounds here!
Comes with a 3.5mm stereo jack for connecting to anything that has a headphone socket. Also comes with a usb cable for power. Well worth it.
wow.

Reviewer: Edward Ludlow,
Got this amp off a freind. I plugged it in, and at full volume this thing literally blew me away. This is easily the most powerfull thing i have seen for its size. It also looks great, sounds great and has nice bass and treble options. A must buy
