Philips Portable Speaker System

We here at Wootaholic like to think we have a dual purpose for our readers. We’ll give you a quick rundown of our thoughts on that day’s Woot item and then provide you with alternative suggestions or accessories for this products. This is one of those really tempting items to buy that will just end up stuck in a box in storage within a week after you get it. This would be a great pickup for children (especially if you picked up those cheap MP3 players a little while ago). This just isn’t to be bought by anybody who is really worried about sound quality or little things like that. Sure you can pick them up to take them to beach or someplace that you wouldn’t mind losing them, but I would try to use them in a situation where you are looking for quality sound. It looks like they run on 6 (!?) AAA batteries or with an AC source. Phillips has been nice to enough to leave that up to you. That’s right, these don’t come with an AC adapter.

So please, just go ahead and skip this unless you have very low hopes. Take a look at some of the better alternatives out there. Sure, you’re going to have to spend a bit more money, but it’s better in the long run than going through dozens of these. Have a good one Wootaholics! I’ll be working on our Woot shirt backorder page. Lots of cool stuff coming!
