"  When I first saw the Brookstone Pop-up Mini Speaker it looked, as you would expect, small. My first thought was that this mini-device couldn&amp;#039;t possibly produce enough high quality sound to be worth its $29.95 pricetag. I plugged it into my smart phone and surprisingly it got quite loud and still sounded good. Still skeptical, I used it with my MP3 player and was still happy with the results. My only gripe: You&amp;#039;re supposed to be able to &amp;quot;pop up&amp;quot; the silver cap to enjoy deep full bass but when I &amp;quot;popped up&amp;quot; I only discerned a slight difference in bass level. Next I tried using it with my laptop to watch TV shows online and I was elated to find that it really pumped up the volume, which is sometimes problematic for me. I also liked the convenience of the retractable cord that made it easy to put it away quickly without a tangled mess of wires. Even though the speaker doesn&amp;#039;t get great bass, I was still happy with its sound quality and recommend it if you&amp;#039;re looking for a small speaker to use with a portable device.
