Product Reviews of Pillowsonic Stereo Pillow Speaker
Product Review: A step up from the old Radio Shack offering
Summary: 5 Stars
So, I have used pillow speakers for over 20 years. Mostly used various Radio Shack speakers. After a year or two the wires would break and I would have to buy another one. No big deal when they are under $10.
This speaker is really two stereo speakers in a enclosure. The enclosure keeps it from sliding which I find very useful. My only speakers would be on the floor in the morning on occasion. Also when it would slide it would stress the cable.
With this speaker, I tuck about 1 ft of cord into the enclosure to releave stress at the speaker and so far the cable stays put. This should help with the wire breakage. Time will tell.
The sound is also much better than the Radio Shack version.
Overall, worth it. A+
Product Review: Ahhhh! What a lovely way to relax.
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this item. Placing it under my pillow at night enables me to listen to relaxing and/or meditative CDs and fall asleep easily. I have also used it in the hospital while recovering from surgery.Product Review: At last!
Summary: 5 Stars
At last, I can go to sleep to my favorite music and not have to worry about ear phones.. just wrap my head in sound.. I love this product. And the CD that comes with it has beautiful, soothing music.Product Review: Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
It's a great product. Very comfortable. When I roll over sometimes I roll onto a speaker, it's noticeable, but not uncomfortable. The only things I'd do differently are space out the speakers just a little more and make them a tad smaller.Product Review: Best so Far
Summary: 5 Stars
Pillow speakers.... what a great idea!
Especially for self help, subliminal tapes etc. Even for sunbathing !
I've tried several pillow speakers in the quest for better sound quality AND comfort.
Apparently a difficult combination to attain for many manufacturers.
I began my quest by purchasing one of the first offerings, a standard size bed pillow, in which the speakers were embedded. A cord was attached to the pillow to connect to your device (walkman, in my case).
Afer several uses, (not that many) the speakers would cut out & crackle when I moved the cord.
Ended up as spare pillow sans speaker :o(
Next, I tried the standard $6 radio shack pillow speaker, which was actually rather sturdy, round & had a handy volume control (similar to the Sharper Image pillow speaker). Excellent for travel, but the sound quality really sucked, really tiny AND really tinny AND it really feels like there is a rock under your pillow.
After much searching, I came across the PillowSonic digital stereo pillow speaker insert, purchased for $19 from the manufacturer's website.
I received a free relaxation CD as they were running a promo at the time
I think PillowSonic has nailed it.
The cushioned pillow insert contains TWO speakers providing stereo sound (from both sides of the pillow). Surprisingly clear, quite adequate, although we are not talking Bose quality. Not too shabby.
The pillow sleeve itself is rather soft & cushioned well enough where the metal edges of the speakers are not annoying to your ears through your pillow. Unlike the hard plastic radio shack unit... (aka little rock);
PillowSonic is quite comfortable; you can barely feel the speakers.
I slide it into my pillowcase, underneath my pillow & cannot feel it.
Easy to pack & travel as well.
The only disadvantage I encountered was the lack of volume control on the cord or unit. You must use the volume control on your audio device, which is kind of a pain. However, the cord is approx 6', so your device should be close enough to adjust the volume.
Each of the pillow speakers I tried had disadvantages.
Personally, I'd rather have the better sound quality, so I'll sacrifice the volume control.
Of course, my puppy promptly chewed up the connection wire, so I guess I'll be purchasing another... Dare I hope the designers have upgraded the unit & included volume controls?
