Eric Worden - Consumer Guinea Pig - stars in “Does It Work?”

My friend Sandra Parker has been a media pal for nearly 20 years. Her work on WVEC 13 News is known the region over (though if you didn't know, she whips up a mean crepe when working at Baker's Crust each year for Prevent Child Abuse Hampton Roads Celebrity Night). I love gizmos, so when she asked me to try out a new product called the "Music Bullet" you know this consumer was game!

You see the segment each week on 13 News. It's called "Does It Work." Sandra asks folks like you and me to test an item, and short of being asked to review the Popiel Pocket Fisherman or the latest-greatest Ginsu knives assortment, the "Music Bullet" was right up my alley. Basically it is a rather small cone-shaped item that plugs into your PDA. Just use the earphone or ear-bud jack and you are set. This thing is barely bigger than a large Grada A egg, but when you push a couple of catch-releases around the base, boing!...you really can hear the BASS! A mini-vertical woofer floats your favorite Frank, Fun or Fleetwood Mac to your ears. I even pulled up my Bob-FM app on my iPhone and Holly, Jay and the music sounded awesome. It's got plenty of high end and honestly, for it's size, it puts off some pretty full tunage. It's no Pocket Bose system, but it doesn't put you back 500 bills either. Plus, it has this nifty spring-loaded retractable plug line. SWEET! I'd love it more if it came with its own protective case, but at under $15, I gotta say...Yes, it DOES work! I'm gonna go get my own at Bed, Bath and Bob-FM
