It decreased the loudness!!

(2 out of 5) by Suong Nguyen on May 2, 2009 (San Jose, CA)
I bought these SRS-P7 Sony speakers for about 9 dollars and knew it was going to be nothing special. When I plugged them into my laptop, I expected the speakers to amplify a louder volume of music compared to the stock laptop speakers and it turned out...the laptop won by a wide margin. I tuned the volume up to max on the laptop and the sound was just too low coming out from the speakers. The product is just sad in every way in terms of quality and highly recommend that you do not waste your hard earned money on this.

These speaker are not as powerful as I had hoped but definitely get the job done. They are great speakers for the price. Shipping was quick and got here on time. No complaints.

Great for quiet spaces

(4 out of 5) by Steven Saus on Apr 28, 2008 (Dayton, OH)
I use these every day at my place of work. They're easily audible (run from an iPod) in the quiet room. I am getting another pair for listening to audio from my Palm when I'm at home.

In. A. Quiet. Room.

These speakers are *not* amplified in any way (which is why they have no plug, which is great when you've got to be really portable). That means they are practically useless in average noise environments. For example, a car. They're not much good outside unless you're right on top of them.

But for indoor use in quiet areas, they're small and low-profile.

Okay for iPod, LOUSY for laptop

When they say "Passive," they're not kidding -- As many of the 1-star reviews have stated, these are actually quieter (read: barely audible) than laptop internal speakers. Although they did kick out a little more sound from an iPod Nano than if you plugged in headphones and cranked to to eleven. Moral of the story: if you plan on listening in a fixed location, get a set of powered speakers; if you plan on listening to an mp3 player on the go, these will do a mediocre job for just ten bucks. There is likely a better bargain speaker out there though.
