Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The Diamond MSP100R Mini Rockers Mobile Speakers are capsule speakers that fit together magnetically. If you twist the top of each speaker it will expand, thus increasing bass. The speakers connect to one another via a retractable cord that's hidden in the base of one of the speakers. On the other speaker there is another retractable cord that will plug into your music player. A third cable that comes with the set is used for charging the speakers when their battery is low (as indicated via a blue/red light on one of the speakers). This cord plugs into a USB port on one end and one of the speakers on the other end. (You can still play music while charging the speakers.)
If this sounds confusing, it sort of is. There are at least two cords to deal with every time you want to hook the speakers up, and a third cable that you're responsible for not losing. In theory, having retractable cables fitting snugly into the base of the speakers seems like a good idea. However: (1) It increases the height of the speakers; (2) the cords may be perfectly strong, but they seem worryingly insubstantial, as if a good tug might break them; and (3) I worry that with repeated use the plastic pull things that cover the cables when they're retracted will break.
I'd like to contrast these speakers with another pair to which I have access, the IHOME Rechargeable Mini Speakers for iPods (Black), which are very similar in design:
-- The most significant difference for me between the iHome and the Diamond speakers has to do with the cords. As described above, the Diamond speakers require three cords to do their job, two of which are retractable. By contrast, the iHome speakers come with a single, cleverly designed cord that (1) connects the speakers to one another, (2) connects them to your music player, and (3) plugs into your computer's USB when needed. Thus there's no fiddling with multiple cords and no worries about breakable parts.
-- To my ear the speakers sound very similar to one another, though the Diamond speakers may have a bit more bass. More discerning listeners may have a problem with either or both speakers, but both sound fine to me.
-- Both the iHome and the Diamond speakers are small and elegant, with a silky feel to their exteriors. The Diamond speakers are taller than the iHome speakers, however, and to my mind slightly less aesthetically appealing (because there are more inputs on their sides and more writing), though this is a wholly subjective assessment.
-- The Diamond speakers come with a volume control while the iHome speakers do not. This may not matter to a lot of people, but it could be an added convenience for the Diamond speakers.
-- The Diamond speakers, at least as currently priced, are about $13.00 cheaper than the iHome.
-- The Diamond speakers come with a nicer carrying case than the iHome speakers.
