Was great for 7 months then it stopped working.
I loved my iBall. The sound quality and range was excellent for a relatively modest price. I say "loved" because after 7 months the product stopped working. Now I have to pay to ship the item back to the manufacturer in order to get it fixed or receive a replacement.
To add insult to injury I found the customer service representative I spoke to on the phone rather rude and disinterested in my problem. He rattled through the warranty-return-address so quickly I could not write it down even after asking him repeatedly to speak more slowly. He demanded my contact information rather than asking politely for it without the use please's, thank you's and any apologies.
I would recommend purchasing from a brand with higher quality and better customer service.

Where's my Nano adaptor?
Beware this does not come with an adaptor for a Nano. (And it is NOT noted in the technical details.) The manufacturer says it will provide one, but 6 weeks after I requested one via the Web, I've yet to get it. Worse yet, customer service has been totally unresponsive. Negative stars for backing up their product.

iBall a great deal
I bought this to use with my PC and not an Ipod. It works great. I can use it anywhere in the house or on the deck. It was easy to set up and has great sound.

Very Nice system
This is a very nice system. It comes with everything you need and set up is simple (although there are about a million parts in the box...). The sound quality is good - but not great. But it is sleek and simple and very portable system. It's not clear from the description - but it runs on both AC and batteries and it comes with 6 rechargeable batteries that recharge automatically when you plug in the speaker. The range is good within my house - even through my thick brick walls. I haven't had it outside yet. Overall - very nice. If the sound quality was a little better it would be a 5.

It really is "all that"!
Great product with lots of features. As an example of it's range, I was able to go across the street and about half a house up before losing signal. Sound quality is fine for what it is-obviously won't compare with the Hi-Fi in the living room, but you can't set the Hi-fi up on the patio table out back while BBQing. Two-way connectivity is great, for those of us who still listen to music on something other than an iPod-as it also acts as an iPod dock for the home stereo inside. Would definitley recommend this gadget. Oregon Scientific has been making great quality wireless weather stations for years, its nice to see them venture into home audio technology.
