Less 'boom' than I'd hoped, but a fun little package

I've come to the conclusion that I had unrealistic expectations of this product, as its actually really well designed, well built and pretty good fun. What it's not, is a serious speaker to amplify music and movies. I had visions of being able to find something cool and innovative, beyond what I'd seen on YouTube videos, to stick this too which would create a sound so loud and clear that the neighbours would complain as I enjoyed my iTunes... This simply isn't going to happen. The reality is that if you find something really good to stick the pocket boom too, you'd be lucky if the volume is much louder than the standard iPad or iPhone speaker. Whilst is is possible to get a louder sound, the quality simply isn't good enough to really enjoy it. Where the pocket boom will come in handy for me, will be for visiting hotels etc. The small size makes it ideal for traveling and whilst the sound really isn't amazing, sometimes movies and TV shows I download to play on my ipad are pretty quiet, and this does seem to have enough juice to make them audible from across the room. If you do choose to buy one then please be aware that it really is more of a novelty item, if you're looking for something you'll use every day then there are much better options for around the same price. However you will have an hour or so of fun walking around every room in the house trying different objects to stick the speaker too! The best result I had was actually sticking it to the outside of a full box of beer bottles, however it wasn't quite good enough to stop me from opening the box and drinking my new speaker. Overall the product is well designed, the cables are plenty long enough and the package does include a USB cable for power, which I don't think was mentioned in the blurb.

Slight Disaapointment

It's a decent novelty gift, however not worth the £20 when i realised that my actual phone speakers are louder than any surface I tested this product on. Also the sound quality is poor. However I did wow a few of my friends when I put it under a cup and they thought the cup was a speaker.

It works

The Pocket Boom Portable Vibration Speaker works but not as well as I expected. However it is worth the price as a novelty and talking point

Additional information

Pocket Boom head turns any surface into a speaker

When you hit a drum with a drumstick, the surface vibrates and causes the air around it to vibrate, which generates a sound. Using this principle, the Pocket Boom can convert any surface into a speaker, with a wide variety of effects. The Pocket Boom head vibrates like a regular speaker, but amplifies these vibrations to allow them to permeate through anything from a desk or window to a cup or cardboard box. This means you get the power of a much larger speaker and amplifier in a portable package. You'll never get tired of trying out new speakers with the Pocket Boom!

Magic sticky pad attaches firmly to wood, glass and more

In order for the Pocket Boom to function, it needs to be stuck to the surface you want to turn into a speaker. To facilitate this, the Pocket Boom features a magic sticky pad that attaches to almost any surface with ease, while also being able to be removed without leaving any residue. If the sticky pad does loose some of it's magical properties, simply wipe it with a damp finger to restore up to 95% of the original stickiness.

Small size means you can take it anywhere

Measuring just 9.5cm long and with a diameter of only 3.5cm, the Pocket Boom really can be taken anywhere. It all folds up into a neat capsule, meaning there's no loose wiring to worry about, while a lanyard eyelet means you can attach it to your keys or carry it round your neck so you're never without your Pocket Boom.

Powered by two AAA batteries for all day, easily replaceable power

The Pocket Boom only requires two standard AAA batteries (not included) which provide several hours of playback and are easy to replace. This also makes it a truly take anywhere replacement for regular, clunky portable speakers. Alternatively, the Pocket Boom can be powered via the included USB cable, to help you save battery power when you're at your desk.
