You really do get what you pay for in this case
I wanted to like these speaks but despite plenty of positive reviews I still had realistic expectations. Well, they are OK. But JUST OK. The sound is not very loud and there is ZERO low and middle range, (I suppose it is better than nothing at all, though). In my opinion, not worth making room for in your luggage.
Personally I am going to return mine and pay a little more money for hopfully a little more quality.
The most awesome pair of little speakers and so affordable!
I've bought lots of stuff from Amazon but this is my first time to write a review of something. That's how pleased and excited I am about this purchase! I bought these little speakers so that I (and my co-workers) could listen to my iPod at work. These are going to be perfect! Great design and compact enough for my desk. And I love the low price since it's just something for work. Note: There is no seperate volume control on the speakers. They plug directly into your iPod and you must use iPod's volume control. This means the sound won't go up high so don't buy these if you're looking to play music really loud. It's perfect for me though since I'm using these in a work environment. Another note: No outside power is required for these speakers. You don't have to deal with batteries or outlets. It draws it's power from your device.
Good external stereo speakers for laptop
I was hoping to find a set of compact powered stereo speakers for my laptop, but I wasn't particularly successful. I did however find these passive speakers from Sony. They work pretty much as I expected them to work. In a more general product rating forum, someone complained that they were not loud enough. These speakers are not designed to be used out-doors at poolside parties or anything like that. They are quite adequate to the task of producing stereo sound in a quiet office or home environment. They have interchangeable bezels one set which is translucent and the other set is snow white. This suggests that they were designed to be used with the Apple Macintosh iBook line of laptop computers. In general, I am very happy with them. I am giving them four stars instead of five because of the difficulty in transporting them. The two speakers are inseparable. They are joined by their audio cable and are of irregular physical design. The problem would have been partially solved if Sony had included a drawstring bag to hold them while they are being transported.
