5 out of 5 stars Almost perfect. Definitely worth a look.......2007-06-07

The good:
Speakers are awesome for their size. Decent bass and the stereo enhancement is a nice touch that widens the soundstage somewhat (needed for any speaker where the left and right channels are so close together)

Battery life is excellent. I have been running for hours on the first set, so I have no idea how long they really last but so far, so good.

The power adapter includes both US and European plugs, and is compatible with worldwide voltage.

Has a "Line-In" port so you can use a portable DVD player, laptop, etc. These speakers sound better than almost every laptop and portable DVD player I've ever used, so this is an ideal second use for them. Also has a "Subwoofer Out" port (i doubt anyone will ever use this), and an AV Out port so you can plug your iPod Video into a TV with the included cables.

The power switch is in fact a switch and is flush with the top of the unit so it's very hard to accidentally turn the speakers on while they're bouncing around your luggage. You will also find volume, mute, and sound enhancement buttons on the top of the TravelSound. It will stand upright on a desk thanks to a retractable support.

The remote is a nice touch, and gives you volume, mute, play/pause, prev/next track and full navigational control over the iPod (using up/down buttons in place of the click wheel).

The Bad:
Cloth speaker grilles were a very poor choice for a travel speaker. I see these getting torn or otherwise damaged very quickly. Metal mesh would have been more appropriate for better durability, given the product's intended use. The cloth provides absolutely no protection against something in your bag stabbing the speaker drivers. Stupid move, Creative. If you're worried about damage, I'd strongly suggest placing a piece of cardboard in front of the speakers while they're in the travel bag.

While the unit uses the standard iPod dock connector, the USB pass-through connector on the back is standard mini-USB. Would have been nice of them to use a female iPod dock connector instead (like the Apple docking stations) so I don't have to carry around yet another cable.

There's nowhere to store the credit-card remote. A clip, slot, or SOMETHING on the TravelSound itself to stash the remote would have been nice. I recommend using some adhesive Velcro to attach the remote to the back of the TravelSound so you don't lose it.

The prongs on the power adapter are removable so you can attach the European plug, but they are not retractable and take up a lot of space. The power adapter itself is somewhat large given its purpose.

Summary:
The TravelSound i is a great set of portable iPod speakers, but they are mostly suited to light travel use due to the fragile cloth speaker covers. They would be perfectly at home in an office or for occasional use at the beach, picnic, boat, etc. I would not recommend these for heavy outdoor use at all.

5 out of 5 stars Small package, big sound!.......2007-05-22

I'm not really a techy person but I just wanted to share my opinion on this awesome little product from Cambridge SoundWorks. The TravelSound i is everything you'd expect from a portable travel speaker for your iPod: it's small, light and the sound is plenty big enough to fill a hotel room. It's extremely easy to use. I didn't even have to consult the manual (and coming from me, that's saying a lot!) The battery life is incredible and I love that it charges my iPod while it's running on AC power. Overall, this is a very nice product. I highly recommend it to anyone considering a portable speaker for the iPod!

        5 out of 5 stars Works great!.......2007-11-30

        We had this installed above an LCD tv which is hung on a sunroom wall. It looks good and keeps the cable box up out of the way and the cords are hidden. It needs to be installed into a stud so you need to be aware of that. We are very pleased.

        4 out of 5 stars Modern.......2007-08-23

        We purchased two of these wall mount shelves to support the components under the Plasma. The problem is side by side mounted into the 16 inch center studs they do not allow the components to set properly. One 10 inch by 4 foot glass shelve across the mounts gives you a very nice modern looking component shelve. Worked out great. They might work better as a stack if you have the room and your plasma is high enough.
