Exactly what I wanted,
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.

|Talk about bang for the buck!,
Very nice to find a product that is “as-advertised”. Quality build, professionally presented in very nice, well-designed case with holders for everything (nothing falls out when you open it.) Definitely created by guys who use cool toys like this. But its more than a toy. It’s a tool.
Read other reviews and you’ll get some cool ideas of how to maximize it: put it on an inner tube at the beach, or a closed toilet seat lid in a hotel room (!), or a bedside table, or use the Wowee Pad to attach it to a window or sliding door (with AMAZING results.) Or do like one person and carry a small Tupperware container and set it on that. (I tried that on a small one and it resonated very well– Led Zeppelin sounded excellent!)
I’ve tried and owned several smaller, portable speaker systems and none compare to the Wowee One. They just don’t have the capacity for bass so you never get the full-throated range of the music that the artist intended you to have. Wowee One delivers what other systems can’t: serious bass. And also: serious volume. It is VERY loud when you want it to be. Considering the size and weight (and price, for that matter), it is a serious achievement in entertainment technology.
Without question the best travel speaker for your iPod or MP3 players. I can also see myself using it with my laptop on location and when editing… beats the built-in speakers hands-down. I work in the film/TV business and I see a lot of applications for this. Am referring a lot of my soundman buddies to the Wowee One.
I love this thing.
I mean, how often do you use a new piece of technology that puts a big grin on your face and makes you say outloud, “WOW!” ?
Or even, “WOWee!”
