Summary: These speakers produce great sound. I would advise placing the auto volume control, if available on your MP3 player, in the ON position. This will help eliminate distortion at high volume levels. Otherwise, do not run your player's volume and the Creative 250's volume both at full level. I made the mistake of doing this when I initially hooked both up together, and I feared I had destroyed the speakers, but apparently they're built to take mistakes like that.
With the "Wide Stereo Effect" button switched on, the speakers really sound fine. I'm listening to the Bizet "L'Arlesienne Suite No. 1" and it's like being at a little concert. As a "baby boomer" who grew up with vinyl records then 8-track tapes followed by cassettes, the sound produced by an MP3 played through these small speakers is truly amazing. I'm looking forward to taking these on trips so I'll have my favorite music played decently while away from home.

The little gummy pads on the base of the unit help hold it in place on most surfaces

Pros: Compact, comes with carrying case, durable, EXCELLENT sound output given the speaker size, Excellent battery life
Cons: Easy to accidentally switch on while transporting & drains batteries...but I use rechargeables so no matter anyway.

Summary: I'm so sick of dam proprietary speaker systems...made for iPod...Zen, etc. This was a perfect set up for me. I'm an Archos fan and have been for many years. The 250 was a vast improvement over its predecessor. It had a sever cracking problem and was prone to loose plug syndrome. This speaker set has been over hill and dell with me and never missed a beat. The battery life is phenomenal and I just keep an extra charged set with me so I never go without. I paid 45.00 for these and now they're going for $14. Creative doesn't even carry this line....oops, well, let's just say they have morphed into a DAM proprietary speaker for the ZEN. I like the compactness and considered the 400 but the dimensions increased as they put the controls built into the base. I may just buy another unit just to keep for when this set eventually craps out as I've just not found another set of speakers that compare. I would recommend these to anyone....I also use them with my iRiver Clix 4gb.
Hope this helps,
-J

Summary: picked this up when looking for some portable speakers for my ipod. worked great for a while - very well indeed - then one night just POP the batteries exploded. this has happened twice now. not sure why, it has been suggested they pull too much power on the 4 triple aaa's it uses. maybe been better served using c batteries
