The virtual surround sound is impressive for such small speakers, although it definitely leans toward the high end, making some sounds too shrill or tinny. The sound improves drastically with headphones. It strikes us as a good choice to take to a friend's house to watch DVDs or to use with hotel TVs on trips. You can also use it as a portable CD player, with or without headphones. The picture is good, a little light on the reds but not bad for a unit this size.
Sound quality is also decent.
Overall, a well put-together package, but I just don't see the point. I will not travel without it. This little device makes a long flight seem like minutes. Worth every cent. A must for those who travel This is one great travel companion.
