These are very cute and a good idea, however the speaker quality is not good. I was using my new cat speaker when cleaning my kitchen, but the poor quality made the music sound so abrasive, so I ended up getting out my regular speakers. I suppose you could use these animal speakers for background music when you're with a group having a BBQ or something, seeing as how the small size is convenient, but if you ask me, I would rather bring a bigger music player if it provides better quality.
