Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Celestron 93985 SkyScout Speaker (Black)
Customer Review: Works pretty well, good value, not quite a perfect fit
Summary: 4 Stars
This speaker makes a fine companion to the SkyScout, especially if more than one user wants to hear the audio narration. USB battery charging is handy and it's very compact with a neck strap if you want to use it that way. By twisting the silver front end it expands like an accordion to noticeably improve bass response, but that's not really necessary for audio spoken word.
My only gripe is that it's a very tight fit if you choose to plug it directly into the SkyScout (which I do, because it's compact with no dangling cords) - it'll pretty much fit only one way and even then it's squished a bit and somewhat awkward, but doesn't interfere with SkyScout operation at all. I think this is an aftermarket product that Celestron found and adopted after the SkyScout was designed, because small changes to the SS molded housing would make it fit perfectly.
This speaker and its cords will fit into the SkyScout carrying case; again a bit squished because the case isn't designed for it and is tight to begin with, but it works and it's great to keep everything together.
It works, though, and is recommended especially for the price. Note: the list price on Amazon's page is WAY off the mark; I think actual list price is only about $35-40.
The SkyScout is a very cool product and this little speaker makes it better.
