As far as mini, portable speakers go, from a technical standpoint alone this MyTunes MP3 Amp may not boast an especially impressive range of features but what it lacks in terms of specification it more than makes up for in terms of exquisite (some would say kitsch) styling.
Powered either by 3xAAA batteries or via a USB connection – the MP3 Amp can also be used as a computer speaker – this mono speaker, in sporting a standard audio in socket, can be hooked up to just about any device that comes with an earphone socket, from MP3 players to portable radios, cell phones to handheld consoles, though its hardly going to blow you away in offering a mere 5w output.
That said, the MP3 Amp does have working treble and bass dials which the product site rightly states is ‘an element lacking in a lot of mp3 speakers currently on the market’ and the detailing is exquisite with the front grill, corner protectors all present and correct.
At the time of writing the MP3 Amp, which will set you back a mere $20, is expected to become available mid June though pre-orders are already being accepted.
