Frequently Asked Questions
Here is a set of questions and answers we have put together as a result of things which pop up time and time again.
How good is the sound quality of the portable MP3 speakers? It varies between systems, however they are never as good as full sound systems, such as the home cinema kit you may have in your front room. The quality is still good though on higher end players. If you are on a tight budget and getting the cheapest available then the quality won’t be great – at the end of the day you get what you pay for.
How long will they last? If you look after them then expect to get a good few years problem free use out of them. If you are worried about quality always look at guarantees, or perhaps a warranty you can take out. This will give you a bit of piece of mind that even if something does go wrong you won’t have to splash out for another one.
How big and heavy are they? This obviously varies between products. But they are normally much smaller then a full sound system or boombox. Often fitting nicely on tables, windowsills or in fairly small bedrooms.
Are the players on this page all that is available? No, not at all, we simply try to find the best, but we don’t show everything available on the market. So if none of these tickle your fancy then keep researching and eventually you should be able to find the real bit of kit for your needs.
