Oustanding!!
(5 out of 5) by E. J. McMonagle on May 24, 2007 (Glasgow, UK)These speakers are only small in appearance as they pack a powerful punch. I like my music but when I am away from home or on the move the speakers built into the laptop were inadequate. Now, I can rock away to my favourite music but I have to ensure that the volume level is at 50% such is the power of these speakers. They speakers come in a hardened protective case. Well worth the money!

Nice speakers, some problems
(4 out of 5) by Edmund Rooney on Mar 14, 2008 (Scotland)Very nice, compact speakers with good sound, very fast delivery. A couple of problems though. They don't switch off the PC speakers when you plug them in, as you might expect (e.g. with headphones in the audio jack). You have to restart the audio application. Even then they sometimes don't work (no sound, or no control via the multimedia buttons) and you have to switch audio preferences manually (and then switch back when you unplug them). The multimedia buttons themselves are unpleasant to use - hard and unyielding, with absolutely no tactile feedback - you can't tell if they are working or not. According to the manual only the mute button and volume controls work with all applications - the others may or may not be supported.

Really Good Speakers
(5 out of 5) by Incognito on Aug 7, 2007These are great speakers and have excellent sound quality. They are small enough to remain portable and also look really good with their simple design. They can be be very loud and have very good bass. Instillation is very simple and fast and basically these are great speakers and if you need new ones these are a pretty solid choice for the price.

Fantastic
(5 out of 5) by Mr. A. Randall on Apr 8, 2008 (Suffolk, England)These speakers are expensive. There, I said it. You can get a Logitech 2.1 set for less that shakes your whole house and turns the room into a chamber of bass. But these speakers are perfect for me.
My laptop, whilst being nearly perfect, has gutless 'Realtek High Definition Sound'. Linking it to my stereo, the sound is flat and weak. It just sound horrible through any output, really only suitable for sound effects and Youtube videos.
Then I stumbled across these. They are USB, thus poweredby the laptop, but they also act as their own audio source (i.e they are selected by Windows as the sound source, rather than the onboard sound), resulting in much, much better sound!
The trebles are very clear and crisp, and they have a very surprising amount of bass for their small size. They can easily fill my bedroom with great quality sound; they are the perfect companion for my laptop and now I can finally use it to listen to music properly!
My only complaints are that they have a tendency to vibrate against whatever surface they are on- resting on something soft this is eliminated. I would have liked a headphone socket or line out but I can appreciate this wasn't part of their purpose, which is to have fantastic, portable sound for your laptop. They certainly succeed at that.

Excellent portable speakers
(5 out of 5) by W. Du on Feb 9, 2008 (Hertfordshire, UK)These speakers are deceptively powerful for their size and the fact that they are USB powered as well as looking very nice. The bass is reasonable and the sound quality is generally very good. Obviously it is not as powerful as mains powered speakers but the media player control buttons on the top are very useful. One thing is that as the music gets louder the vibrations of the speaker cause both parts to slowly move across the table in small steps.
