Customer Reviews of Pillowsonic Stereo Pillow Speaker
Customer Review: Fell apart after 4 months
Summary: 2 Stars
Admittedly, I accidentally stepped on the speaker getting out of bed (during the night I had pulled it out from my pillow as it was uncomfortable.) But the speaker shouldn't have collapsed so easily, rendering that side useless. This was after the wires in the headphone jack loosened and rarely had a good connection - I used a rubberband for 3 months to keep it working and eventually had to replace the jack altogether. I loved these speakers but they just weren't as comfortable or durable as I would have wanted.
I have since bought the Sound Oasis Sleep Therapy Pillow Speakers and found the build quality to be superior; they're even more convenient because the left and right can be separated by as much as two feet. I would recommend skipping this one and trying those out for the same price.
Customer Review: Good product, good price
Summary: 5 Stars
After the latest in a long string of earbuds stopped working, I looked for an alternative. This one had the best reviews and I took a chance. It has a heavy duty cord which should last much longer than the ultra-thin earbud wire. Ofcourse it works fine as an under the pillow speaker, but I've found it is more functional and comfortable to wrap it in a small pillow case and use it as a combination eye shade/speaker. The fidelity is better that way, too. The volume range is very good: from so low only I can hear to loud enough to be heard across the room. At the low level the sound is good for both voice and music; at the high level a bit tinny. Also, if something annoying is being broadcast on the radio it's easy to slide the speaker away from the ear slightly till it's over. At first I thought only one speaker was working; pulling the plug out slightly fixed that. I like it.Customer Review: PillowSonic Stereo Pillow Speaker Review
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this PillowSonic Stereo Pillow Speaker because I have been looking for a few weeks for a nice pillow speaker. When I placed this speaker under my pillow, I can't hear anything. When I placed the speaker between my ear and the pillow, I must turn the TV volume about ten times higher just to hear the TV. Of course have you ever tried to rest your head on a speaker? I have also found the only way to enjoy (?) this product is by laying the speakers on my ear as I rest on my side. So this becomes a sandwich, (in which you better not move) bed, pillow, my head, and then the speaker on top. This is not what I wanted. I would be better off just putting an ear plug in my ear and listening to the TV that way. Don't waste your money. You can buy mine for just the cost of shipping. One star is the best I could give this product. Sorry, but it just doesn't work.Customer Review: This product didn't work out well for me
Summary: 1 Stars
This pillow speaker didn't work out well for me, I'm sorry to say. I listen to a Rain&Thunder CD every night to help me sleep, and even turned up full volume I couldn't hear it when the speaker was placed under the pillow, as suggested.
So....I tried putting my head directly on to the speaker pad and that hurt my ear! (The round speakers inside the pad are, of course, hard material.) When I put my ear (for comfort)in between the two hard speakers, I didn't hear much of anything.
Hope it works better for you all. It probably works better with ''real'' music instead of my rain and thunder. But it's not my CD's fault either, because I can hear it very clearly with the I-pod's ear buds. Unfortunately, they hurt too. I finally found some other ear buds that are soft...''marshmallow'' it said on the package..from Best Buy.
Customer Review: Too uncomfortable to lie on it
Summary: 2 Stars
The thicker the pillow speaker, the more it hurts my ears to lay on it. This pillow speaker is unsatisfactory because it is very thick and the speakers have sharp edges,so you could never use it without the foam cover. However, the foam cover makes it even thicker and it becomes very uncomfortable to lie on under a pillow. After awhile my ears begin to hurt. I used it for a long time anyway until I found one that really works well, the C. Crane - Pillow Speaker PS2. It also comes with a soft cover on it, but it works best if you remove it from the cover as it makes the speaker much thinner instead of feeling like a lump under your pillow. Because the Crane speaker is saucer shaped and has no sharp edges you can remove the cover from the Crane version, and it is thin and smooth enough to be undetectable under a normal pillow.
