I am very happy with these speakers. They provide good sound for the size of the speakers, have fairly long run time on batteries, and are very convenient. For those who did not rate this high, I offer the following. Know what you're buying. These speakers will work with any mp3 player and are not specific to a particular creative player, so no there is no specific place to dock your player. No, these will not fill a room with sound, unless the room is as big as a closet. If you want giant Klipsch speakers, then buy those, but I dare you to try and fit them in your briefcase and backpack and cart them along with you. These speakers allow you to listen to your tunes with good sound in a small environment, such as a small office, an office cubicle, a small dorm room, etc. The sound is very pleasant for their size and the current price is just right. You will need to buy an ac adapter, if you want one as it is not provided. Highly recommended for small portable speakers.
