iHome iHM3P4 Portable Speaker System for iPod and MP3 Players (Pink) Review

I was very excited about buying this, especially because it is so portable. However, I've owned this for about a month and have not been impressed. I thought I'd found a good, cheap deal on Amazon, but there are very few good things about this. Here's a general synopsis of my views:

Good:
-Ultra compact and portable. I LOVE that this doesn't have cords and doesn't need to be plugged in. It comes with a cute, cushy carrying case and is small enough to fit into just about any bag.
-Extremely simple, easy to navigate. No problems with too much technology here.

Bad:
-Not enough sound. I was looking for something with a little more 'oomph.' I cranked the sound up all the way and it still could barely compete with my laptop speakers.
-As a result, the speakers blew out within a WEEK. I wasn't playing music with particularly heavy bass or loud parts, but now the sound is so bad I can't even use them. I know I probably maxed them out, but it seems a little unreasonable.
-Battery life isn't great. I've used this less than 10 times, and the batteries are gone. Extremely frustrating.

Overall: If you don't need a lot of sound and are looking for something compact with light use, this will be great. If you want ANYTHING above that, go for something with a little better quality.
