WOWee One Power Bass (White with Silver) Review by
B. Davis (USA)
I saw this item reviewed on a news program and had to have one. I was looking at stereo shelf systems to hook up to my iPod because the sound you get out of the iPod is no better than a transistor radio. I thought this item might be a nice alternative to a bigger system. I hooked up the Wowee and have tried several surfaces. I would NOT recommend vertical surfaces such as walls or windows. Mine fell off twice within 30 seconds or so. Although the news program showed it vertcal, I won't trust it again. There's a good bit of vibration coming off the bottom. The best sounding, secure spots I found so far is my kitchen countertop, the smooth glass stovetop and the washing machine, which is a top load with a metal lid. The bass and overall range sounds much better when the Wowee vibrates down through something hollow below. There is a lot of treble, just like with the iPod by itself. The treble seems a little distorted and tinny once in a while when you crank up the volume. I would prefer a little less treble. I tried different equalizer settings in the iPod and it seems the dance setting works about the best for my preferences. Like I said, the Wowee is certainly better than nothing at all but I guess I expected something just a little better. I want to believe that small, portable devices can provide big, spatial sound but I don't think technology is fully there yet. The device is built well (it survived two vertical drops) The price could be a little lower though for what you are getting and in comparison to what else is out there like this device.

Unlike the other reviews, I've bought this on Amazon and actually use it for a while. The built quality is pretty decent - feels solid, plastic surrounding with gel like surface at the bottom. The device is automatically powered on as soon as you plug in the 3.5mm plug and turns off when you unplug it. The sound quality is mediocre at best, the power bass as advertised is near non-existence. It's supposed to vibrate the surface to give you the feeling of a subwoofer but you can't really hear it. If you place it on a hollow or thin surface such as a glass tabletop, you'll feel the vibration, but if you use it rock solid office desk like myself, you won't feel a thing. Obviously it sounded better than the built-in computer speaker but the retail price tag is unjustifiable for its sound quality. I would say the device is probably worth less than half of its retail price.
I forgot to mention that there is a fairly loud hissing noise as soon as you plug in the 3.5mm jack so you'll have to turn up the volume to overcome that. In a total quiet room, its very noticeable. Not sure if it's only my unit that's causing it but it is somewhat a nuisance

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.
