Exelente speakers , an even greater price!!! 2008-06-07
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3RGY63AY4RLAD These speakers regularly priced at over $100, but now only $12 are the best bargain out there. They get louder than the speakers that come with most new computers, they look and sound good and they have great battery life.

Good speakers for the price 
2008-04-23
I feel that this is a decent product for some people. I've tried to use it multiple times outdoors to watch movies on my laptop and it has to be turned up all the way and the sound isn't that great. however, it is extremely portable which is very nice. also, if you are using it inside the volume is plenty loud enough and has good sound.
Excellent product 2008-04-08
This is an amazing product with such a small price but such a big sound. I am very impressed with it!
Great Portable Speakers 2008-03-29
I am a traveling music teacher and really don't want to lug a boombox around with me. Further, I prefer to use my Creative Stone Plus to store my music, rather than a multitude of CDs.
Enter the Creative 250 portable speaker. I can have my elementary school bands play along with the recordings...something they couldn't do with a typical boombox (volume couldn't compete).
I had my reservations, but ordered 3 systems online (one for two different schools, and one for home) and figured it was worth the gamble for the price.
Overall, I am immensely pleased with this purchase.
Now, for some ideas for improvement...
1. The line in cord SHOULD be longer. Yes, you can buy one on your own, but I don't see the purpose for such a short cord (other than cost-cutting).
2. Have a digital volume readout.
3. (This is for the seller, not the product:) Don't raise the price by $5 in one week. I know, I know, it's STILL an amazing deal. You have a right to make a profit.... Sigh.
Pretty good 2008-02-14
Play your music out loud, anywhere with Creative TravelSound 250. Sporting a chic, minimalist design, TravelSound 250 thrills as much with its looks as well as its audio quality. Two premium NeoTitanium micro drivers deliver good detail and midrange, and the Wide Stereo Effect feature creates a wider soundstage that belies TravelSound 250's small footprint. Most notably, TravelSound 250 features an innovative dual-angle swivel enclosure, which gives you the freedom to adjust for an optimum audio projection.
Fantastic value for money, but... 2008-02-14
For $8.70 you cant get better than this. the sound is loud enough for a room, its clear and crisp upto a level, then distorts (acceptable). the controls on the speaker for on/off and volume work ok. sound is better than the logitech mm28 which i hav used and that was good too, but had to gift it to a relative.
the wide sound effect is good though not any exciting
unit looks good and size of the unit is small - a lil bigger than a whiteboard duster/wiper.
though i havent exactly measured it, batteries last a good amount of time, more than 3-4 hours.
Cons:
the connecting cord is not very long, though enough for me (heard u can get a longer one for $1-2 or so from radioshack)
u got to have 4 AAA (preferably rechargeable and a charger) - i have a charger that can charge only 2 AAAs at a time, so takes me some time to get it running once the charge is drained out.
the wall charger is not easily available in the market or is crazily costlier than the unit itself.
the tilting stand that the speaker sits, isnt any use, i beleive it is not required and the unit wud be smaller and cuter if it wasnt there.
Finally, i hate to pay shipping as much as the unit price ($8)... check other place, i saw a $12 deal with free shipping at some website.
Overall, there arent much better options in this price range... i resrched quite enough... this product is sure worth its price, if not more.
Great value, perfect sound 2008-02-08
I wasn't expecting too much from the price but I was amazed by this
speaker. It has all the volume I could ask for and the sound quality is
outstanding. Battery life is excellent and the carry bag has plenty
of room for my mp3 player, too. Couldn't be happier.
Small yet Powerful 2007-07-01
I bought this speaker for the days I'm home and cleaning or whatever without using my headphones (especially when the 'Rents will be calling me for some task or other.) I was a bit weary at first because of the disappointed reviews with distortion of the sound but bought it anyhow because i like the company!
Well i wasn't disappointed with the speakers and if i don't try to put the volume up too loud on my Mp3 or on the speakers its loud enough to hear without distortion another reviewer said it best i think "people want a tall drink in a short glass" or something of that nature. So honestly for its size don't expect boom box/ surround sound quality and you'll be just fine!
Louder than I could wish, and it sounds much fuller than it looks 2007-03-11
I bought this at Wal-Mart for [...] after reading about many different portable speakers. I hadn't encountered this model in my search, however. With every intention of taking advantage of the return policy, I brought it home and tested it immediately. It sounded quite good. I turned it up; it still sounded good. I turned it up such that it hurt my ears and there was no distortion. It even maintained its modest, but audible bass. I began to compare it to my 2.1 THX approved computer speakers at similar volume. Naturally, its bass didn't compete with a sub-woofer, but the important thing is that you can HEAR the bass. Instruments and vocals at the low end of the spectrum are not lost at any volume. I was so pleased with the clarity and breadth of sound that I forgot that it was powered by batteries. I was shocked, actually, that it was putting out such volume on four AAA batteries.
Now, to be a bit less sensational, I'm very pleased with these speakers and I'm confident that they'll provide more than adequate enjoyment, even as I consider myself an audiophile. It's a perfect solution for those parts of the house where I want my music without headphones: the kitchen while I'm cooking, the garage. The speakers are quite light. Not tiny in comparison with my iPod Shuffle, but miniscule in contrast with the sound they produce. I also appreciate that the provided line-in cable is very minimal without any bulk around the plug, like most cheap 3.5mm plugs have. It comes with a felt pouch which I will definitely use, as the speakers are not protected by any kind of mesh or screen.
Finally, I discovered a switch on the back when I was putting in the batteries. It activates the "Wide Sound" feature which makes the speakers sound further apart. I'll have to spend more time with this feature to judge for certain, but so far it's effective and subtle.
