AT THIS PRICE - YOU CAN'T GO WRONG
 
Review Date: March 4, 2005
Reviewer: Jeffrey Eldredge, HONOLULU, HI USA
I bought these speakers to use with my HP Pavilion Laptop computer to by-pass the tinny sounding laptop speakers. I just got them today and I am very pleased! They arrived in 2 days by UPS.

All you do is plug one USP plug into your laptop and the other end into the speakers. That's it! The 5 step installation process for Windows XP users, is simple and fast. In fact, if you just wait a few minutes, Windows XP may install it automatically for you. There are no power cords or anything else to bother with. Each speaker is about the size of a music cassette, so opened up it would be like 2 cassettes side by side.

I am very pleased with the sound since it picks up nuances in the music that the laptop speakers miss. I think most people will be pleased with the quality, unless you are an audiophile. There is an occasional, SLIGHT distortion with some sounds, but not enough of a distortion to bother me. The volume range is just right and you can hear it at the other end of the room. (Just don't expect it to be as loud as a boom box.)

Two very cool things about these speakers. 1) The USB cord self retracts into this little spool to make things tidy. 2) The corners of the speakers have these blue LED lights that glow when you've connected the speakers to your laptop. (They look great at night.) A couple of bonus features I didn't expect.

In summary, for this very reasonable price, you can't go wrong. I only wish I had bought these a year ago, instead of waiting so long.

I was using my laptop with Microsoft Maps for navigating in my car but I could not always hear the commands from the tiny speakers on the laptop, even when boosted to max. This small, poratble speaker set allowed me to have a clear and loud voice that I could hear. The speakers may not be the best for listening to music (although they are much better than the built in speakers in the lap top), but they did great for my use.

I bought these speakers for my laptop. They are USB hookup. They were so easy to hookup, and they sound great, now i can watch movies and have no problem listening. The price is a little high, i would still recommend this product. They don't take up any room on your desk, they fold open and then close when not using them, it also have a retractable cord so you can move your speakers around. When the speakers are on they omit a purple light, I love it great investment for me.

These are nice speakers for the money.

Pros: Compact size; decent sound, not symphonic by any stretch, but decent. I like the fact that I can now adjust my laptop audio volume by means of a dial on the speakers themselves without the need to go into my laptop's audio settings. That is a BIG plus.

Cons: The LED display to indicate the speakers are on located on both wings of the speakers is incredibly bright. It reflects off the windows in the house and the TV and anything else reflective. I could probably use it as a night light :). A smaller less obtrusive display would have sufficed.

All in all, I am pleased with these speakers.
Great Speakers!

I purchased these speakers because the ones on my lap top were hard to hear. I got these and they are great. I love the way they light up too!
