I love my Kindle Fire (1st Gen) and it goes everywhere with my. However, the one area where I have the most trouble using it, where I want it the most, is in my kitchen when I'm cooking. The problem is, the moment the cooking noises increase in the kitchen, the less I am able to hear anything from my Kindle Fire's anemic speakers. I had an older pair of wired portable speakers, but they really didn't do much to help the audio and the wires...ugh! It was ridiculous.
Then I found the Logitech Tablet Speaker. It was exactly what I was looking for. A portable speaker system that was reliable, rechargeable, portable, at a reasonable price, and can be used with different devices. (It may say it's for iPad, but if your device uses a 3.5 mm headphone jack, you can use this tablet speaker for your device as well.)
I really like the attractive square tubular design. It allows me to use it as a prop without interfering with the stereo sound. It has rubber anti-skid feet so it doesn't slide around. The power switch is small yet easy to press. The 3.5mm cord easily snugs back into the speaker tube for a clean flat storage. Additionally, this speaker comes with its own storage sleeve. The speaker comes with a USB cord for charging on a PC. (You'll need a USB AC adapter if you want to use AC power to charge. This is not included.) No long speaker cords to fuss with. No batteries to worry about. Charge, go, recharge when necessary.
And the sound! Oh, the sound! Clean, crisp, loud, wonderful! I had no great expectation of larger than life sound from this, but I got exactly what I needed. A much needed audio boost for my Kindle Fire. I can hear my Audible books much better now above all the kitchen noise when I'm cooking. It also sounds wonderful with the variety of music I enjoy listening to - from epic soundtracks like Halo and Warcraft, soft lovely vocals of Jaci Velasquez and Israel K., to the silly craziness of Psy's Gangnam Style.
Logitech has come through for me again with yet another quality device for a decent price. I love this great little speaker system. It gives me exactly what I want without breaking my budget and I can use it with a variety of devices. Thank you so much Logitech!
