 Exactly what I wanted May 18, 2010

I've had the Wowee One for a little while now, and I've used it in every possible situation I can come up with. This is a great little product that gives some heavy duty sound.
I bought the Wowee One after seeing it reviewed on Engadget. I leave all my music/podcasts on my phone, and I'm constantly streaming music from Pandora, so I wanted something extremely portable that would give clear, audiophile quality sound. The Wowee One looked like the perfect solution.
First of all, let me say I couldn't be happier with my purchase. This is one of those products that you can't really appreciate until you see it in person. Every one of my friends has asked to borrow it just to try it out, and every one of them has ordered their own.
When I first opened the Wowee One and connected it to my Palm Pre with Pandora streaming, it sounded very muffled. I was really disappointed, until I realized I hadn't taken off the plastic cover (duh!). Once I took that off, the audio was booming. The first thing you'll want to do is try it out on different surfaces to see how it affects the sound. My glass table produced a clear balanced sound. Then I moved it to my hollow wooden cupboard, and the bass filled the room. I even put it on a large water cooler, and you could feel the vibrations.
Obviously, streaming audio isn't the ideal situation to test the device, so I put a Blu-Ray in my laptop and connected it to the Wowee One to test out something from a lossless audio source. Again, the clarity of sound was incomparable. It literally feels like there are layers upon layers of audio that were completely hidden when listening on my crappy laptop speakers. I've used it hundreds of times, and I still find myself lifting it in the air, and then placing it on different surfaces to hear how each affects the audio.
The packaging is simple - which makes you realize how portable this product is. All you need is the device, and a 3.5mm audio cable. It also comes with a USB cable for charging.
My one qualm with the Wowee One is the battery life. It's not bad by any means, but I found it lasted around 17 or 18 hours on a charge, not the advertised 20 hours. I'm not sure if that's because I was using it so heavily in such a small period of time, but I like knowing how long the batter will last me, and mine lasted around 18 hours. The good news is, all it needs is a standard USB input to charge from - no proprietary charger, so USB is generally easy to find no matter where you are.
The price seems high at $79.99, but so far I feel like I've gotten full value out of it. The sound quality is as good as (if not better than) a pair of $60 computer speakers with a woofer, and the portability alone makes it well worth the difference. If you're on the fence, I'd say pull the trigger - you won't regret the purchase. If you're able to demo one in person, I'm sure you'll be as sold as I was.

I can assure those who think these are fake reviews that i am not a fake! I ordered my wowee one after reading David Pogue's review in the NY Times. It just arrived and I love it! My smart phone is my whole sound system currently (itunes plus pandora) but I hadn't found a speaker I wanted to plop down money for. Glad i waited for this! It's completely portable, sounds amazing, and is everything I need. Plus! It's fun and cool!
Love the wowee! May 17, 2010

I received a Wowee as a gift, and I can tell you that I am astonished with its appearance, portability and above all the sound quality! The sound is full and powerful, with a great bass tone.
I am somewhat cynical about new electronics, allowing myself sufficient time before becoming comfortable. In the case of the Woweee, the ease of use is amazing!
Anyone interested in great sound amplification should own one of these!

This thing is AWESOME!! I love it I put it on a table and sat on it and you could feal the vibrations! It is so fun to play with and see what sound each surface makes. Maybe a little overpriced but still payable!
Great Bass for a little unit! September 3, 2010

First off this product is very good for its size. The best surface i have found is a window, but it works great on many surfaces. Very loud if need be and its built in battery works great. Would buy again, and may get for my tech head friends for x-mas!
