Buy a different solution

Desired Performance:

I bought the Gomadic Portable Speaker to adapt my HTC EVO 4G smartphone. I wanted an audio solution that was simple, portable, and didn't cost me an arm and a leg. It needed to be able to play well with my laptop, in the car hooked to my smartphone, and provide music at the shop. I wanted reasonable audio quality, frequency response, good volume/power, and durability.

Actual Performance:

The sound quality was adequate. Good frequency response for what I wanted. Not a lot of bass, but to be expected I suppose. When hooked to my laptop in a quiet environment I had enough power. In the car with the windows down the power was inadequate to fill the space with audio. I tried to point the speaker directly at me and the volume was still too low. I was disappointed because I like my music pretty loud and bought the speaker primarily for the car. Overall, for what I wanted, it was inadequate. Perhaps I asked too much of it, and so it might meet your specific needs, it just didn't meet mine.

It was portable and simple to use. I bought a dual adapter for the car and had a power cable to the speaker, as well as my phone. I found that neither was necessary. The battery held its charge for my hour long morning commute, throughout the day while at work, and then for the commute back home. The battery life was good. No problem. The power options available for the car were also good.

It was simple and I carried it with me everywhere I went. And here is where its weakness showed. Its case is from something like particle board, and the construction is of the same quality. I never dropped the speaker, but the particle board wore quickly. Corners of the box chipped/broke off. I left it in the car on a few hot days and the glue that held one of the internal components failed. Shortly thereafter the leads broke off the component. I was still able to use the power adapter and battery, so the speaker was only partially disabled. For my use it was not durable and deteriorated quickly (1 1/2 months).

Would I buy this product again for what I needed? No.

In summary it was a simple solution that did not cost and arm and a leg. It was portable but not durable for the use I put it to. Finally, the power output was not what I wanted.
