Pros: The Diamond MSP100R Mini Rockers are very compact, and really good for when you would like tiny speaker on the go..
- All cables reel into the speakers themselves accept USB charging cable.

Cons: -Well the power it receives via USB cable is not enough to properly charge and power the speakers when at full volume over a continuous time. (The Speakers will just die out)
-Interference (Medium pitched humming noise) can be heard through the speakers when in use and charging.
-A little too small, almost gimmick like.
-Speaker to speaker cable barely long enough to travel across a 17" Laptop.

Other Thoughts: Practical use of these would be for a Ipod or a portable music device.. Though you would still need USB for recharging.

Pros: Very small. Very Loud. Magnetic base that holds the speakers together can also double as a mounting magnet, strong enough to hold the speakers upside down. You will never have to worry about these speakers not being loud enough, I never have to use full volume with these speakers. Battery seems to last all day for me at work(10 Hours) but they arent playing music 100% of the time. I've used them at a party already and other various get together with friends and they are plenty loud.
The Carrying bag is perfect also, its slightly larger than it needs to be but that works out perferct for keeping my Jabra BT3030 Bluetooth headset in the same bag. With said headset, i can make these "Rechargable Portable Speakers" into "Rechargable Wireless Speakers."

Cons: The retractable cords on both speakers are just a little too short. About 3 inches is lost due to poorly quality retractors. Although rare, they ccasionally make weird noises when charging, weither its playing music or not. The charging indicator light that is supposed to be Red when Dying/In Use and Blue when completed charging, does not function properly, its a little confusing to tell the charge state of these speakers.

Other Thoughts: The speakers dont like being played full blast on almost every device ive hooked them up to, they start to crackle. This is not really a bad thing because the by the time they start to peak they are already very very loud. The only reason why i get tempted to turn it up more is for more Bass response, which these speakers are already decent at providing.

Pros: Small and nice looking, innovative design.

Cons: I'm still not sure whether the battery, which is permanent and cannot be replaced is faulty or whether I am making the right connections to charge them. I tried several different ways and when it seemed they were charged, I disconnected and they immediately lost the charge. There is no indicator light to confirm that it is charging. The little manual that is included is ambiguous at best. I also always felt that the retractable cords were going to break of I pulled a little more than I should.

Other Thoughts: It's frustrating because right out of the box, they worked pretty well for what I intended...until the charge ran out.
