Rarely do I write negative reviews, but this product was truly horrible. Opening the package it looked promising (a soft plushy pillow insert) but the product simply did not function. It arrived with one of the speakers completely broken (produced no sound what-so-ever) and the speaker that did work did not produce clear sound. While I did not expect the music quality to be great, this really sucked and could hardly be heard with even an ear pressed directly against the pillow. And if you're a back sleeper, you won't hear anything. Overall, I would NOT suggest purchasing this. Perhaps look into a small side-table speaker or headphones designed for sleep (the kind that wear like a plush headband instead of painful ear buds).

I bought the Koss VC20 Volume Control to use along with this item, which does not come with a volume control. The volume control has a clip on it and the Relaxso Pillow Speaker has a long cord that is bundled into an elastic strap attached to the side of the unit. Some product reviews of the Relaxso Pillow Speaker said the cord of the pillow speaker is too thin and easily broken. I clipped the volume control to the elastic of the Relaxso unit. That protects the Relaxso cord from being tugged around, and the volume control is easy to find.The two items together were very affordable and work well together. The only complaint I have is that the Relaxso Pillow Speaker doesn't really get loud enough. I plug the Koss Volume control directly into the radios (one is a Bose Wave, the other is an inexpensive Panasonic stereo clock radio) and I have both the radio and the volume control set at the highest possible volume, and I can just hear the radio over the sound of my air conditioner.

Clear crisp sound from this wonderful pillow speaker. Dual speakers encased securely within fabric, approximately 12" x 5". What I love about this specific pillow speaker is that its flat! No hard bump under your pillow. I have bought other pillow speakers from other companies and although they have worked well, they were extremely uncomfortable under the pillow. No matter how you laid your head, you always could feel the exact spot where the speaker was due to the rise in your pillow. Not so with this brand. Flat, encased nicely in a thick material, and the length of this speaker fits expertly under or within your pillow case. The sound is crisp and the dual speakers sound great. Had I not read a random review myself while searching blindly online for a better pillow speaker, I never would have found or even have heard of this company/brand. I am VERY happy with product. The down side of this item is that the cord is very short. However - its a universal jack plug-in, so I simply lengthened it using my cell phone cord as an extender to my bedside stereo. You will not be disappointed with the comfort and sound of this product.

This is the third pillow-speaker I've owned.The quality of the pillow and the speakers is top notch. There is just enough padding to make the speakers comfortable, but not so much the sound is obscured. The , by comparison, has thin foam padding, and the has none. (The Sangean is a thick plastic rock.)No complaints about sound quality. The nature of the padding allows you to move around quite a bit and still hear the sound. The Pillowsonic and Sangean have a lot of dead zones where the pressure of your head or the pillow mutes the speaker.My only gripe is that the cord is ridiculously short and cheap. It barely reaches my iPhone on the nightstand. Twice now I've snagged the cord as I was rolling over causing the phone to leap into the air and smash into my head. (It's in the drawer, now, but this means another snag will probably pull the cord apart.) The cord itself is extremely thin. and bends 90 degrees at the jack. Higher quality cords have strain relief to make the cord bend in an arc instead of sharp angles. (Sharp angle bends break the wire)If you are handy with wire cutters, I strongly recommend an extension cord: . It will improve usability and may extend the life of the speakers.[UPDATE] I DON'T recommend that you cut into the pillow to completely replace the wire. Inside the pillow is an unexpectedly complicated layering of foam and cloth. You'll never get it back together properly. I completely destroyed one pillow trying this.

I was considering making my own pillow speaker as I had done long ago, but after reading the reviews and comparing to other products, this seemed to be what I was looking for and it is even better. My home-grown solution previously was just a single speaker but this gives you stereo sound (although since my wife is a light sleeper, I can't use that at night due to the extra volume needed).The speakers are fairly comfortable and don't add too much bulk to your pillow. I slide mine under my pillowcase to keep it in place better. I typically listen to just one speaker at a time at low volume at night and it works great for that. I read other reviews about the quality of the cable and plug but I don't see any need for it to be any different. Wearing headphones at night, I would often break the headphones tossing and turning, but with this solution your tossing and turning doesn't tug on anything so there isn't any risk of breaking the cord under normal use. Just put your mp3 player under your pillow and all stays in place. Perhaps the cord could be a little longer, but it is sufficient for most needs. Any extra needed you can just buy an extender.I actually like the simple but ingenious elastic loop for coiling the cord neatly when storing or traveling with the unit as well.
