 You
may have noticed this new acronym popping up on some of our products.
RoHS stands for Restrictions on Hazardous Substances, and it's a
directive that could have a huge impact on the production and disposal
of consumer electronics. First adopted in Europe in 2006 (and later
adopted in California in 2007), RoHS restricts the use of six dangerous
substances in lots of common electronics. According to the official
RoHS compliance Web site (www.rohs.eu),
the RoHS symbol indicates that "new electrical and electronic
equipment put on the market does not contain any of the six banned
substances: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, poly-brominated
biphenyls (PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), in quantities
exceeding maximum concentration values."
While some military and medical equipment is exempt from RoHS compliance,
the electronics governed by the standard are among the most common
you’ll find in your home, from radios to MP3 players to cell phones
and (increasingly) computers. In practical terms, the standard protects
factory workers at the production level, sharply reducing their
exposure to hazardous substances. The standard also has a profound
impact on the disposal and recycling of electronics, in that disposed
substances will no longer have at least six of the most hazardous
chemicals formerly found in electronics, and recycled electronics
will not expose workers to toxics as they harvest components.

The SoftSpeaker™-2 has an in-line volume control built into the cord. You can use the wheel on the cord to control the volume coming through the speaker without having to adjust the volume on your radio or any other audio device. The SoftSpeaker-2 can sit right on your pillow, closer to your ear, so you can keep the volume where only you can hear it. To create the SoftSpeaker™, we designed a high-quality pillow speaker and encased it in soft, padded foam and put it in a teddy-bear soft cover (which is removable and washable). It's so plush you can rest your ear right on it. Plug the speaker into the headphone jack of any radio, put it on your pillow and enjoy some of the highest music and voice fidelity available in a pillow speaker. It offers the perfect combination of comfort, privacy and quality. We started distributing pillow speakers over 20 years ago and realized they break more often than one would think. So, we took up the quest to design a better, longer lasting Pillow Speaker. In developing this speaker, we also focused on the common wire break point where the cord enters the pillow speaker. Over time the oils and dirt from one’s hands and face can cause the wire (where it enters the pillow speaker) to harden and eventually break. Our design uses a high quality wire and a very flexible rubber protective outer cover to help improve the longevity. To stand behind this design, we offer a one year warranty. This is unheard of in an industry where 30 to 90 days is generally the normal warranty period for a pillow speaker. The SoftSpeaker and SoftSpeaker-2 offer the perfect combination of comfort, privacy and quality. Its durable, high-flex cord and removable, washable cover help ensure longevity. (Pat. #US D466,886 S) Size: 2" Dia., 6.5-foot cord with 1/8" jack. |

The impedance of the SoftSpeaker Pillow Speaker-2 is 32 ohm.
|
Yes, the pillow speaker will work with portable CD players as long as they have a 1/8" headphone jack. You may need a stereo by mono adapter (some headphone jacks are configured a little differently), but most devices don't need this.
|
|
We recommend our SoftSpeaker Pillow Speaker-2 because it has the best fidelity. If it doesnt work well under your pillow, it will also work right on top of your pillow. We made the cover soft enough to be comfortable even when you rest your ear right on it. We haven't had any complaints about any of our pillow speakers disturbing other people whether above or below the pillow.
|
|
No, the SoftSpeaker Pillow Speaker-2 is in a sealed compartment.
|
|
Yes. Simply remove the cover from the speaker and wash.

This only applies to the unit with the volume control. I had the non volume control softspeaker that my dog chewed up so I decided to replace it with the volume control version. The speaker itself is fine, the sound is good and it's nice and flat (I use it under the pillow without the blue padding).
The problem is the volume control. It is about 2 feet away from the speaker! Now the thing is my radio on my nightstand is a little over a foot away, which means the volume control on my radio is CLOSER than the volume control on the speaker. Just plain dumb. Put the volume control next to the speaker please.

If I could give this speaker 3 1/2 stars I would, but it's not good enough to be a 4 or bad enough to be a 3. As someone who has used a radio shack pillow speaker (under ten bucks) for years, I expected a little/lot more from C. Crane. The speaker is tinny, which is usually ok if you just listen to talk. The volume switch is too far from the speaker, you have to follow the cord down to find it - not an easy task in the dark. The speaker, unlike radio shack, has to be facing toward your ear, and the cover is not very comfortable - and also has to be facing your ear with the padded side up.
I would suggest making the volume control much closer to the speaker, a speaker that would sound the same from either side, a speaker that sounded better, and a cover that was more comfortable that could be used on either side. Too expensive for what you get.
Radio Shack does have an upgraded pillow speaker, but I had trouble finding one and got this. Better to shop around first.
On the positive side, the unit seems sturdy. I often pull on the cord to pull the speaker from under my pillow to move it and it feels strong enough.
