OrigAudio Rock-IT 2.0 Portable Vibration Speaker with Standard 3.5mm Jack. Model ROCK-IT-WH

Is this a high end sound system? no, if you want that spend hundreds of dollars on a portable bose system.What this is a a fun, innovative, and useful product. When I first received it we spent hours passing it around, sticking it on anything around to see what kind of sound it would make. Found it works really well on Hollow Core doors, Windows, different sounds on different boxes, cooler, garage doors, Styrofoam pieces, and all kinds of miscellaneous items.. That was just the first night.The next night we were headed out camping out in the back acreage, so we settled on a box that amplified and produced decent sound. When my uncle showed up, he drove back to the house and returned with a load of other items he wanted to try! Since then my neighbors have tried (Turns out it works really well and sounds fantastic stuck to the back of a motorcycle helmet with the helmet on)and most I know have bought one for themselves.The sound output really does depend on the type of music, and the object you stick it to, and where you stick it at on the item. Now we use a Styrofoam cooler on it's side when we camp, which serves as a good speaker, and has the added bonus of protecting the speaker and the MP3 player or phone.I highly recommend this unit for background music or general indoor or out door travel. in addition your friends will love it and play with it also!

Not sure if this is worth writing about since it's been so long. I got this many years ago cause the idea of it sounded really cool. It does work when you stick it to hollow walls or materials. Unfortunately, I recall the audio to be atrocious, it runs out of energy fast and it did not stick very well to anything,

I received this today and from all the fun I've had with it over the last 20 minutes it has already paid for itself. In my opinion this is a novelty item but a darn good one. It really works well, especially with empty cardboard boxes, large or small. The sound is far better than I expected, even after reading dozens of positive reviews. Try it on the wall, too, works great. Once I get through showing it off to friends & family I'm not certain how much use I'll have for it, but at least it's here if I ever really *do* need it. The only problem I can foresee is the tiny cable that you have to unwind and then wind up when done...cables this thin that see a lot of action are seldom built to last. But if you can afford one and you're into gadgets, go for it. I love it.

Purchased as a Christmas Gift for my husband. It really looked like a cool gift -- but couldn't get the sound to come on. No problem unwinding it, no problem installing the batteries and no problem hooking it up. Green power light came on -- but no sound. Tried sticking it on 7 different objects. Nothing. Disconnected everything and reconnected even installing new/different batteries. Still no sound. Connected to laptop. Still no sound. Contacted the manufacturer via their website and STILL haven't heard back from them. Telephoned them after waiting a couple of days for the website response -- and had to leave a message. STILL haven't heard back from them via telephone either. No Sound -- No Customer Service response. Now, no Rock-IT, as I returned it to amazon. Too bad, as it did seem like a cool little product.Note: iPod works fine and I had the sound on it turned up all the way and tested putting the sound at different levels. I think it was just a bum one and would have been fine with having it replaced with one that worked -- but without no response from the manufacturer OrigAudio I was leery.

When people say the sound quality isn't amazing it turns out what they really mean is it's awful. It's a fun concept but in practice it just doesn't work very well. Sound is tinny and distorted - I had the best results from attaching it to the back of my laptop's screen but even then it wasn't very good. I needed something because my computer speakers stopped working and this product gives tolerable sound quality for watching a TV show or my yoga videos, but it's pretty awful for music.And please bear in mind, I'm not rating it on a high standard - some people here are saying things like "You can't expect it to be super-high-fidelity" -- true, but I can expect it to be at least tolerably OK. It's not. Sure, maybe at its best it's on par with SOME cheaper USB speakers, but those cheap USB speakers have only one cord, this has three (USB for power, audio cable,and long cord attaching the "microphone" to an object - not to mention the main box - as large as a square coaster and thicker than my smartphone) - it's all bulky and unwieldy.Maybe a neato-gimmick for a kid, but even they would get tired of it soon, I think.

This is a great little gadget. The size makes it very portable and the added feature of using batteries is also very useful. As long as you have something with music on it, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and something that conducts vibration well you have a sound system. The materials I've found that work best with the product are cardboard and foam. Foam seems to be the most affordable and best conductor of sound. I use the device on a university campus for recruitment events and all I use is a Styrofoam cooler. The optimum thickness of foam I've found thus far is 3 inches. The surface area I've been using is 17x18. It's a great alternative to having to carry an actual sound system out. The quality of the sound varies depending on the type of material you use, however as I mentioned before foam seems to provide the greatest clarity. There also tends to be distortion when the volume on the device with music is maxed out. To correct simply bring the volume down a little. If all you need is to provide music to liven up an event and aren't a sound nazi then this is a great product.[...]
