Nimzy Vibro MAX

Fascinating concept, Works surprisingly well

Limited output, Mono only

Attractive and unobtrusive design, remote control, easily portable, non-directional sound, available in black or silver

Sound quality is disappointing no matter where you put it, pricey

The Nimzy's virtue is its tiny footprint and easy portability. However, you can't run it with batteries you have to plug it into the mains. So, what could be a handy option for taking on the road with your MacBook becomes a hassle of wires and plugs.

We're happy to admit that we loved the Vibro Max, partly for its quirky gadget appeal but mainly because the audio quality didn't disappoint. If you think you'll get frustrated by the concept of moving it from surface to surface to experiment with...

novelty value

too bulky for a portable unit. powersupply and wires makes it no better to use than an ordinary portable set of speakers. takes a lot of adjustment to get a good sound out.

easy to use, works well on most surfaces,

getting the setting right!!! you do have to play with if for a bit to make sure that you can the best sound out of it!

Its a nifty little gadget and would be good on holiday as its better than those foldaway speakers. Good quality sound

The remote control doesnt work which is disappointing. It takes a seperate power source to run it. Would have been an even better product if it had been a bit more transportable

Easy to use, compact, great sound given the right surface.

Some glitches when using the controls on the device (e.g. no sound when using the power switch) - works fine when using the remote.

Easy to use and very useful for taking with you.
