The original idea I had, involved strapping those Nokia speakers (MD-6) to my Nokia phone (N95 8GB) and placing it on the shoulder of some cuddly toy.  Why would I do such a thing?  I thought I could make the pairing look like an "old skool" ghettoblaster.  I was wrong.  What was I trying to achieve?  Umm, just thought it'd make a nice accompaniment to my summary of my review pair before they go back to WOM World (shhh! I think they've forgotten I've got 'em... )

Well fear not, Homersapien came to the rescue!  As did Toy Town, Happy Land and one of Happy Land's finest - Officer Asbo.

Happy Land was a fairly quiet place until Homersapien strolled into town disturbing the peace with his uber-mobile sound system.  Not a moody teenager, hoodie or mp3 playing phone in sight.  Officer Asbo wouldn't stand for that in his town.  However, even he could not imagine what havoc a giant Homer Simpson in robot form could wreak with a mobile phone and an additional ingredient... external speakers!

Actually this is neither a summary or a review at this point, it's late and I'm too tired for that!  Probably down to all the  playing in the garden with my niece and nephew's toys...

If this were a summary or review, I'd say that these speakers are significantly louder than the speakers built-in to any phone I've ever used.  I might then go on to say that it's not just that they're louder - they have a far richer sound than those speakers too.  I'd probably also say that the batteries last for ages and that the unit is very, very portable... so much so that you won't be needing a shoulder to carry them on.

Lets just hope hoodies don't get hold of these - journeys on public transport can be bad enough!  (I should point out that I used these on the train back from Bournemouth a couple of weeks back... I should know better.  In my defence, we were right at the end of the carriage, it was mostly empty and it was late at night)

It's very much the same as a newborn baby: surprisingly, almost impossibly, loud for it's size.  Sound quality is pretty damn good too - far better than the built-in speakers of my Nokia phone.  But more of that in a later post...
