Remarkable sound quality from speakers only about the size of a CD case Foldable design for easy carrying Neodymium magnets produce great sound accuracy Magnetically shielded speakers Uses 4 AA batteries Folded: 5 5/8"W x 5"H x 1 1/8"D, Open: 8 3/4"W x 5"H x 4 19/32"DIncludes world voltage AC adaptor 100-240V
With their single chassis and compact, foldable design, Sony's 2-watts-per-channel SRS-T88 speakers will travel easily, wherever you go. A supplied world-voltage AC/DC power adapter even lets you take the speakers overseas without worrying about excessive battery consumption. The speakers' 1.3-inch (34 mm) neodymium magnets produce high energy output for impressive speaker movement, power, and sonic accuracy, giving you remarkably good sound from speakers occupying little more space than a CD case. A dynamic sound duct (bass port) uses space within the housing--plus additional space within the battery compartment--to maximize low-frequency output for reasonably full bass reproduction. Not enough? Kick in the unit's Mega Bass circuit for a boost.
The SRS-T88 is magnetically shielded to avoid interference when placed near or atop a TV, laptop computer, or monitor. The speakers' two-way power supply permits operation using 4 AA batteries (not included) or the supplied world-voltage adapter (compatible with AC 100V to 240V). The unit weighs approximately 9 ounces (without batteries) or 12 ounces (including batteries).

1 where's the bass?
i suppose i expected too much from sony on this 1. i am a loyal sony consumer because of their high quality and true to their word advertising. sony really missed the mark on this product however. the quality is good, but the bass is missing!
2 great sound in such a small package
i usually take my boombox/radio to work and listen to my cd's but i have to lug it around in a backpack and then there's carrying all my cd's, it's getting old so a few days ago,
i got on amazon and started browsing through mobile speakers.
i bought these and a smaller sony version that says(blue) attached to the end of the name, those were about $40 dollars, not to bad I thought, but i work in a cooler with a many large fans blowing, so the sound quality/volume were not enough for me. I was lucky and came across these at a local furniture/electronics store. there were about $80 there so it is wiser to get these at amazon.com.
I love these, i plug it into my sony hd mini-discman nh600d, and now instead of carring around a backpack and a 128 cd case, i can take about 70% of my cd collection which is alot more then what is in that single 128 case to work in the palm of my hand or in a few extra HD 1gig discs.
there are others complaing about sound quality, you do lose a little but come on people that is to be expected, this thing is about as long as DVD case and half as wide and about 1 1/2 inches deep, so yes the sound quality is never gonna be the same as a $80 or $200 radio/boombox. the sound quality in my opinion is amazing for the size of this thing. you are always going to lose something to gain a little something, and I for one do not mind this very little loss in quality, now almost all of my music can go with my anywhere.
Great space saver,
great sound.
i would recommend these to anyone looking for a great portable speaker.
3 Lacking Bass
Little disappointed in the unit, hoped it might have a bit more bass. BTW, there is no "Mega Bass" circuit you can "kick-in", as the product description says; there is a Power switch and a Volume control, and that is it. I have to think you can do better for $60. They are easily portable, however, and far better than most laptop's speakers (though that is really not saying much).
