The construction of the casing is rugged, you get plugs for all countries…It not only meets, but exceeds expectations…Travelers of all stripes, or any of you looking for a small system for your room or office that can fit in your pocket and go for a good long time on a full charge, this is ultimate gear,” he concluded. “We are honored that Henry Rollins chose foxL as the ultimate speaker for his frequent travels because of its superior sound quality and portability and we are glad that we can help National Public Radio with much needed product donations in this challenging economic environment,” Lee Adams, Vice President, Soundmatters International, Inc. “It’s a huge help to the station.
