To be filed under One of Those Things I Never Thought I'd Want or Need Until I Had One:
I bought one of these for Ben for Christmas, and liked the sound so much I went out yesterday and bought one for myself. Until now I'd been (quietly—open cubes, don'cha know) listening to streaming audio at work through my Air's speakers to try and drown out some of the inane chatter that comes from the pre-cert nurses on the other side of the cube walls. The sound from the Air was okay and did what it needed to, but once I heard this little beast I knew what I'd been missing. I don't know what manner of black magic is being invoked to achieve it, but even at the low volumes I'm forced to listen to at work, this speaker puts out a good amount of bass that makes music sound so much better.
