Cheap if you buy from Fry's. Light weight, ok sound quality.Mar 18, 2009 I bought one from Fry's for five bucks. The price here is ridiculous. Overall this is a good product, if you can get one cheap.

It works with any mp3 player and the price is unbeatable.Jan 17, 2009 This is a portable speaker. Although it's designed for Creative Zen Stone, you can use it with any mp3 player with an audio extension cable. I bought the speaker from Fry's for a sale price of $2.99 (regular price is $4.99). It's a steal. Use it with my Zune and my netbook. The quality is a lot better than other small brand portable speakers which normally pricing around $10~$25. Not the greatest speaker in the world, but the greatest with its size and price.

Works with iPod too....sort of.Sep 27, 2008 Frustrated that this thing only works with zen stone products? A simple female to male headphone extension cable will take care of that nicely. (Of coure the ipod doesn't snap snuggly into the unit...it just sits at the end of it's cable next to the speakers.) Works with any player that has a standard headphone jack.

Good for the office, Bad for those of us who like it loudJul 12, 2008 I purchased this on sale directly from creative's online store for 11.99 plus shipping 6.99. It arrived quickly and I was excited to use it, especially since I've really enjoyed my Creative TravelDock 900 speaker.
Pro's include, that it fits the zen stone plus player perfectly, that it only requires two AAA batteries (the TravelDock 900 uses four), it's small, and it looks good/pretty.
Con's include, it's not very loud (which is only good if you plan to use this for work, while sitting in a cube/office and don't want to disturb others). My TravelDock 900 is much louder and can be used outdoors or indoors. Also, there's no volume control on the speaker dock, you can only control the volume with your zen stone plus. The TravelDock 900 has volume controls in addition to volume control access you have to your player. Keep in mind, these are travel speakers, the TravelDock 900 is by no means a replacement for a stereo system, but it comes close for those of us who need something small for our computers or mp3 players. Also, while you have access to the front controls, you cannot turn the player off without pulling it out of the dock. You also need to remove the silicone skin (if you use one) to get it to fit/work properly (with the TravelDock 900, you don't need to remove the skin). Also, it does not get FM reception (so the zen stone plus' radio feature will not work with travel speakers). Lastly, unlike the TravelDock 900, it does not have the capability to charge your player. The TravelDock 900 has a USB connection in the back which does.
In sum, this speaker system is about half the size of the TravelDock 900 so if you need something smaller than the TravelDock and you plan on using it for your office then this is the speaker dock for you.
All others, buy a TravelDock 900 instead while you still can.
