Pros: Small and compact music player. Great if you want to meditate on the train or in a hotel room or otherwise on a travel as it can be slipped into your purse or bag easy. The design is cute. It is easy to use. The sound quality is not exceptional, but it is not bad for such a small speaker.
Cons: It is a bit hard to get the batteries into the unit, there is to little place for them, I had to ask for my boyfriend to help me get the batteries in. The sound quality is not exceptional, but what do you expect from those tiny speakers.
Other Thoughts: I originally got this music player because I collect tools and objects used for religion and Spirituality and as I have never seen one of these in Norway I decided to get it. I did not have high expectations. But surprisingly the juke box is rather functional. I will be using this with head phones at times if I want to meditate on the train as it is small enough just to slip in my bag. The design is cute to. I think it would make a nice gift to someone who is into meditation, Buddhism, Asian music or generally someone you might wish to give a cute, inexpensive gift to. This is the kind of product I like to see at Deal Extreme, chap, unusual and useful little gadgets.
Bottomline: This is a cute, unusual Spiritual tool gadget. It is because of stuff like this I use Deal Extreme. Off course I could have put chants on my MP3 players and probably got better sound, however this item is just cute and with it's little Buddha figure on the front it just have allot of charm. I loved this item.
Great for Buddhism practitioners!

Pros: This unit is SMALL! It only measures 2"x 1 3/4"x 3/4" and can easily fit in your pocket or purse. The lanyard hole also allows you to attach a lanyard or nylon strap to wear around your neck or carry. The sound quality is a little fuzzy but has no distortion. The volume
quality is also incredible. For such a small device, the volume can be very loud. This is perfect for Buddhist practitioners! A detachable lanyard strap is also included so you don't need to go buy one. This jukebox also has volume control and a headphone jack for private listening. In case you don't have batteries, it also uses an AC adaptor (not included).
Cons: The springs in the battery compartment were a bit too big so the AAA batteries could not be installed at all. I had to use wire cutters and shorten the battery contacts so that the batteries could fit. Also, there's no digital display or LED indicator to let you know which song is playing. To play a specific song, you need to turn the unit off and then on again and it will start at the first song. You can then press the button to choose the song you like. The unit will only play one song and will not shuffle or cycle through each song. To hear a specific song, you need to press the button to skip through the other songs.
Other Thoughts: Includes a detachable lanyard strap so you can wear around your neck. I bought this jukebox for my mother and the lanyard strap broken in 10 minutes. :( Item is packaged in a small box (see photo section).
Bottomline: For the price, this is a nice Buddhist jukebox. The audio quality is excellent and the size is perfect. It's small, easily portable and the sound is clear enough to understand. The device required a very minor modification (see "Cons") but now it works perfectly.
Great product for Buddhists

Pros: 12 different chants / music. Will put you into a trance. Fantastic stuff. Sound quality is excellent... for how big it is. It REALLY pumps!
Cons: Tight quarters mean regular AAA batteries only.. rechargables, which are just a teeny bit bigger, just don't fit.
Other Thoughts: Fantastic in every way. I'm going to get a few more of these as gifts.
Bottomline: Buy it now!!
It's worth the 500 characters to buy it now. Completely. This one had the most songs of all the similar products so... yeah :)
