I bought these mini speakers a few months after I bought my first generation iPod Touch. For such a small pair of speakers, these mini speakers are amazing! For $15.00 I haven't found any other speakers that could beat these. Now, I'm not saying these are the best speakers out there, I'm saying they're the best ones for $15.00 that I could find.
These mini portable speakers work with or without a case which makes these speakers very unique. I have always used a case for my iPods and I don't like taking the case off and these speakers allow me not to have to. The mini speakers don't clip in as tight as they do without the case on, but they work just fine while a case is on.
