What's great about it: Compact size
What's not so great: Not very loud

"As far as cost you get what you pay for and I cant complain due to not having high expectations prior to purchase. Surprisingly they sound pretty decent from the mids to the highs but in the lows dont expect much. They will do well in a quiet environment but if work or play in a noisy one they will be somewhat disappointing. If your looking for deep loud portable speakers spend the extra cash on a set of JBL's. I did like the portability, design and the lack of a pwr supply though. If you want loud these arent the speakers for you."

"I purchased these speakers to use while traveling and made my decision based on price and size. I was not disappointed. The product delivers a decent quality sound for travel speakers, and their ability to be powered by a USB port or battery pack (included) is a plus. Speaking of plusses, their size makes for very easy packing. I would definitely recommend this product."

What's great about it: Better sound than my laptop

"These speakers are great for travel. They play much louder than my Macbook and the audio quality is good. I like the style but wish they were sold in silver color too to match the Mac. I've bought two more sets for some guys in the office who saw mine and wanted some too! I recommend this product"

What's great about it: Volume, size, weight and price

"Some of the rooms in the university, at which I teach, are equipped with data projectors but lack an associated sound system. The speakers in my notebook computer are insufficient for projecting the audio of my lessons in the smallest classroom. My criteria in searching for external speakers were, in order of importance, adequate volume, small size, light weight and inexpensive. These speakers satisfied and exceeded all of the criteria. I can now provide adequate audio in a fifteen hundred square foot classroom loaded with students. Better yet, these inexpensive and rugged little speakers add no discernable weight or bulk to my, already overburdened, notebook bag. I not only recommend this product, I intend to purchase a couple for gifts this coming holiday season."

What's great about it: Portability and uses USB for power
What's not so great: Nothing

"I just purchased a netbook (mini notebook computer) and the speakers are not the greatest. Some websites with audio I could hear clearly, but others, just barely. I found these on the Bestbuy website but went to one of their locations to purchase. I am very happy with these. In fact, I had to turn the volume down in order to listen to the audio on a website that I pulled up."

"I only bought this product based on the really good reviews I read. Believe me, this product is anything but good. The sound quality is very poor. As a matter of fact, the sound coming out of the built in laptop speakers is cleaner and LOUDER than these external speakers. Perhaps I picked up a dud, but I'm not willing the chance it by asking for a replacement. I'll be returning this product. Also the Bestbuy I purchased this from is "Discontinuing" this product. Trust me, I work in product distribution. You don't discontinue products that work. If you chance it and buy it any way, hopefully my experience is isolated to me."

What's great about it: Very Compact and Portable...Great Sound for Small speakers
What's not so great: None

"I've had these speakers for a couple weeks now and they are great. I got them to use with my laptop for movies and music. When i first got them i was skeptical about cheap speakers but these are awsome and definatly recomended for people wanting to get compact and portable speakers for a laptop. The sound is great and they are powered through usb so there are less wires to worry about. The wire from the back of the speakers doubles as a stand as well and works great. You can also hook these up to an ipod or other music player making these very versatile and it comes with an alternative power source so you dont have to have them plugged into your laptop in order to use them. You can plug them into a small power output box powered by AAA batteries. The speakers are magnetic in the corners of each speaker so they stick together when not in use for traveling. Overall this was a well spent $20 when comparing these speakers to other pricier models. Highly reccomended!"

Great Sound & Great Value 09/28/2008
By Nitram from Los Altos, CA

What's great about it: Compact for travel and excellent performance per $
What's not so great: None

"I bought these compact and stylish portable speakers to upgrade the weak speakers on my notebook and also to use with my iPod as they run both from USB port and they also come with a neat portable battery power-pack for use with iPod (and other MP3 players, portable CD player, etc.). They are extremely compact (pocket sized) and clip together magnetically to protect the speaker surfaces in transit. They also come with their own travel bag. The speaker cables when connected also double up as the speaker stands... A fantastic design feature. The speakers perform very well and for a mere $19.99 you can't go wrong. Nothing else at this price point can touch them."
