@DJP519 their killing me. What trickery. I thought that with the usb keychain we had evaded the dreaded speaker dock Friday. I don't know what's right anymore. Never coming back here again! Who am I kidding... See you tomorrow, meh.
@joshaw My first thought at seeing them was, oh, someone got the front end of one of those! So that's what it was! Maybe you got the one in the final picture?
@dashcloud They took it apart without me! When I'm in tomorrow I could go over the components, but it's pretty similar to the JBL. Just better speakers and some neat contact buttons in the ears.
@CowboyDann According to the Price Check link when you click it, the iPup says it has 5 speakers also. Im gonna go for it. EDIT: Trade says I can trade up to two so I ordered two and ill renew my trade in if it cancels before I get these ugly things.
@CowboyDann UPDATE: Sent both out the day they arrived. One box looked like it had been kicked pretty good. They rejected that one completely. The other one was in perfect condition and I got $50something in Amazon GC. When the other one comes back, im gonna toss out the original packaging and send it back as Good condition to see if I can get $48 for it.
This looks remarkably like the iPig speaker dock reviewed by Ashens. (The best Tat reveiwer around!) I'm not sure what the box for this says, the one he reviewed says "Cartoon series hi-fi speaker" on it. If it is in fact the same thing, apparently the sound is actually quite good.
(Also, based on the positive reviews about their sound quality, in for two. It's probably the stupidest thing I've purchased here ... since the last thing I bought here?)
Anyone want to Describe what they look like? Are they plush or hard plastic? What color is a pig, what color is the dog? Someone said the dog looked like a fat pig? So does it look more like a Labrador?
I bought one of these Speakal Pink Pigs from Amazon almost four years ago for about $70. It has an auxillary plug which I use to plug in my Android phone and it actually sounds decent. Even though it lacks treble on the high end and earth shaking bass, I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better sounding speaker dock for $17. At the very least, you could use it as a nice unique gift.
The build quality is decent, as it's made of a thick hard plastic. The one downfall is that the shielding of the wires is rather poor. There is an electrical hum until I plug in my phone or music player into the auxillary.
@mmurano So the pig is pink? How big are the animals? Are they sitting or standing? What is the countertop footprint? The dog is black, so does it look more like a lab? Or bulldog?
@silverqueen Pig is pink. They are "standing" on their 4 legs. Not sure about the dog, check the pictures. Footprint is small. 6" x 5" x 6" and weighs less than 4 pounds. Has some weight due to sub.
@silverqueen both are more cute, cartoony than realistic looking. They are mostly the spherical body on four short, stubby, tapered legs with no feet. The ears/volume control are round, horizontal disc-shaped coming up out of the top- to me, they look more like alien antennae, but compact. They have big, round, black eyes that are the two speakers and little cut-out smiles that apparently light up when power is on (according to another post, not Meh) Up to this point, they are both completely identical. The pig is pink and has a round pig nose. The dog is black and has a rounded, inverted triangle dog nose. The dog's eyes have a bit of white highlighting to give it "puppy dog eyes." While I look at the pig and instantly know it's a pig, I probably would never have guessed the dog is a dog, but they are both cute if you like that style. Not a perfect description, but I hope that helps!
@Kleineleh, @ChadP Thank you both for the description of the Pig and the Pup. I thought I would like to have the pup if I could make it look like mine! But… alas that was not going to work. I used to know someone who was pig crazy and would have snatched it for her but that won’t work either. I couldn’t find anyone else who was pig crazy to gift it to. Dog crazy people I know plenty of but not a pig lookalike pup! Thank you both again for the helpful descriptions. @ardgedee Thank you for educating me about the adaptor. Is that a special item? Where do you find one? And can it be done the other way? Mini or micro to thirty pin?

How COULD you! Foisting speaker docks onto innocent children...
pass
NOOOOOO. They made us think #SDF was over!! It was just delayed! They got us...
Holy crap! I have half of one of these from my fukuburo! I hope it was the one in the picture. And can I buy the rest for $6?
@joshaw My first thought at seeing them was, oh, someone got the front end of one of those! So that's what it was! Maybe you got the one in the final picture?
@harrison Any hope of tearing these apart for "science"?
@dashcloud
@Zebra bacon.
@katylava: Bacon with a side of bacon?
@dashcloud They took it apart without me! When I'm in tomorrow I could go over the components, but it's pretty similar to the JBL. Just better speakers and some neat contact buttons in the ears.
I'm afraid the speakers would squeal. I'd be disgruntled.
Meh....where speaker docks go to die.
One of Amazon's listings for this says "Trade in your item Get up to a $55.10 Gift Card." Seriously?
@mickeysweb LOL. I noticed that too. Gee, I wonder if I should buy one and then trade it into Amazon for an awesome $55.10?
@mickeysweb I might be wrong but i think that is for the special edition one with five speakers. it shows 25 cents. Am i mistaken?

@ChicagoTed1 oh you're right the subwoofer would be the 5th speaker derp

@ChicagoTed1 LOL~ I bought two and sent them in as well. I got my $51.45 each for them today. Now I have a nice gift card balance! Yay! :)

@Tiamat114 this guy dedicated over 20 mins to this review,
@somf69 No he didn't. Only 10. He reviews other shitty products.
Can't sleep sd will kill me!!!!!
Are these kosher?
Apparently not. Also try reframing from sending any Police friends this as a gift.
Ahh nightmarish spooky pig! Kill it, kill it now!
You folks are EEEEEEVVVIL, meh. What's next - Speaker Dock Monday? Two docks Tuesday? Aaaargh!
(Also, based on the positive reviews about their sound quality, in for two. It's probably the stupidest thing I've purchased here ... since the last thing I bought here?)
@narfcake stop giving meh ideas!!! Get it? I enjoy it at least.
The pup does not look like a pup. It looks like a black pig.
@katbyter Missing its nose.
@katbyter More like a fat Badger
Oh my gaawwwwwwwwddddd.
Disaster!
Speaker Pig Saturday?
It's a Toy, It's a Speaker Dock, It's a Toy, It's a Speaker Dock, It's a Toy, It's a Speaker Dock, It's a Toy, It's a Speaker Dock, It's a Toy,
I would absolutely have bought this if I could put my iPad on it. Getting closer! Next week let's have a 30-pin iPad dock.
@SSteve it has an aux in you can run your iPad into.
JBL OnBeat Micro, please. ;-)

What functions are available on the remote control?
@silverqueen I honestly couldn't tell you because I never use the remote. The Pig is on my desk at work within arm reach of where I sit.
Gordian? I think you meant Gordonan.
Is there such a thing as a 30 pin converter? That way it could be used for multiple devices?
@silverqueen Yes.
there are not enough mehs to describe how I'm feeling right now.....
WHERE THE FUCK DO YOU PEOPLE KEEP GETTING THESE THINGS
...we don't want 'em.

@silverqueen Glad you found that helpful. And even happier to know your dog does not look like a speaker dock that looks like a pig
