What I Say

Our daughters used the Microsound on their shuffles and promptly returned both the black and white units back to me, saying they would stay with their earbuds. Why?

Tinny and anemic sound quality – like no bass or midrange. So it is named correctly – Micro – Sound.

I don’t think this will be a boombox killer. Nor should it be. My thinking is that iPods were meant for private listening. Each speaker is independently controlled and there is an on/off switch – Thank you! And the stereo 1/8” miniplug plug can fit any device that has a headphone jack so this isn’t limited to “just shuffles and iPod nanos”.

If for whatever reason you need an external speaker for your Shuffle or iPod, just be aware that this unit is not for audiophiles. But then again, Audiophiles would be wearing professional stereo headsets, right?
