I just opened my new Marware UpSurge and am streaming from my Amazon Cloud Player through my iPhone. I've been looking for a small speaker for this and my Kindle and decided to take a chance on this since it was offered as a lighting deal.
This little speaker has better quality sound than the Skullcandy Pipe (sounded like a tin can, no bass), which I returned, and better sound than just the iPhone's speaker alone. There is a little static/noise from my computer while hooked up to my computer but you can charge the speaker up (USB) and use it without the power source. Plus, my computer is a piece of junk!
I am so happy with this purchase that I dropped everything to write this review. Take a chance on this one!

The Marware UpSurge Recharable Mini Speaker for Kindle Fire is a good buy if you watch a great deal of movies and videos on the Kindle Fire. It tripled the sound volume of my Kindle Fire. It used to be that I could not hear the sound from a movie on Kindle Fire when there were people talking in the room. With this Marware speaker, I can now listen to movies on the Kindle with no problem even when people are talking around me. When no one is in the room, I can listen to the movie from across the room with this speaker, but who would ever watch a movie from across the room when Kindle is of a personal size. The volume on this speaker is what the Kindle Fire should have had on the system, but I guess Amazon wanted to sell accessories to make a few extra bucks or to keep the cost of the Kindle lower. The good thing about this speaker is that it has an on/off switch that allows you to save the battery life when not in use. Another good thing is that it's small and portable to take with your Kindle Fire. It also comes with a rechargeable cord, but the inconvenience is that you cannot recharge through a wall; instead, you have to recharge it through a computer or laptop that has a USB port. If you don't have a computer/laptop, you should not buy this or you will be screwed when it comes to recharging this speaker. However, once charged, the speaker last quite a while as long as you remember to switch the speaker off when you disconnect. Another inconvenience is that the apeaker has no volume control. Thus, you must continue to control the volume through the Kindle Fire's volume control, which as we all have experienced, can freeze a movie or cause a connection error while changing the volume. The wire that connects to the Kindle's headset jack is about a foot long, so the speaker has to stay close to the Kindle. Overall, I'm happy with it even though the functionality of it can be improved. To summarize, it triples the sound level of the Kindle,has on/off switch, is portable, and can be recharged without the need for batteries; but it requires a computer/laptop to recharge and wires are short.Buy Marware UpSurge Rechargable Mini Speaker with 3.5mm Headphone/Audio Jack, Blue Now
I am very happy with this speaker as I can use it to listen to music from MP3 player, my Kindle fire, or my smart phone. Many times I am not it the mood to use headphones and this application works great as it travels well, and can work a long while off the battery.I thought that the battery charge cable was a little on the short side and seemed a little bit frail. This charge cable & plug size is not very well identified, but if you want a better cable to use with this, I have purchased and verified that the following cable does work well to charge this 5-volt speaker:
USB Port Power Cable with 3 Extra Popular Connector Tips
This cable is a much better cable than what comes with the speaker & gives you three other adapters to boot.
However, this review is about the speaker, and I am very happy with the purchase.
Nice quality, of course it's not super high audio quality, but the speaker seems well made and solid. I have a few different tablets, and with the exception of the new Kidle Fire HDwhich has awesome soundI often find myself straining to hear the volume when watching video playback. This little speaker makes al the difference. It has worked with a Kindle Fire, Google Nexus 7 and an Elocity A 7+ tablet. No regrets; great price.

I really liked this product, it works well and is very easy to transport while traveling. However I bought it as an accessory with my new Kindle fire and it does not work when in the amazon leather cases. I had thought since they were both marketed as kindle fire accessories that they would work together. It is not easy to remove the fire from the case, so using it with the fire is very inconvenient. So if you are looking for a device like this, do not buy it if your using the amazon leather kindle fire case.
