 great speakers for some uses Sep 29, 2007
I needed a set of very portable speakers that would fit into my laptop bag that would also improve the sound over the built-in speakers. I am very happy with these speakers.
The Pro's: 1) These speakers provide much more solid and direct sound than my built-in laptop speakers. 2) They perform surprising well in passive mode, but I believe they sound slightly better when powered by batteries. 3) Very portable, no extra adapter to lug around, speakers cannot fall over if sitting on an unstable surface. Will sit on most laptop computers out of the way above the keyboard if desk space is really limited or unavailable. However, music sounds better if the speaker is sitting on the desk next to the computer. 4) Seem durable and well built to last. Nothing sticking out to break off. Power switch not likely to get bumped and turned on while riding in your pack.
The Con's: 1) No built in volume control. You must use your computers mixer/volume control. 2) Audio is a little compressed sounding. This is ok for movies because you can hear the dialog better. But for music, if you have a graphic equalizer on your music player you can make them sound a LOT better than just feeding them flat audio. 3) No auto power off -- If you don't switch off the power the batteries will run down when not in use.
Just to summarize. Don't think that your're going to listen to music through these while your raking leaves in the back yard. These are small speakers! If your unhappy with the sound quality and level from your laptop speakers and you want a boost without the typical hassels of exernal speakers then you will be happy with these.
 Has extremely limited uses. Sep 27, 2007
These speakers sound about as good as my 5 year old laptop speakers. I bought them for watching movies on my laptop thinking they would enhance the experience. I actually prefer watching my movies without them because my own laptop sounds a little crisper. Very disappointing.

big sound for small speakers Jan 26, 2006
considering the size of these speakers, they put out good sound. the speakers i was using before these had to be plugged into an AC outlet, no option of batteries.
i use music for dance practices after school, and since i can't carry heavy equiptment with me, i just carry these and my ipod. i like that they punch out loud sound, unlike some other speakers i've seen. my friend has a portable speaker system that is the same size as mine, but hers isn't loud enough.
the speakers are about the same weight as my cell phone. i also love that it has the option of running on either batteries or passive mode (gets its power from the music player it's plugged into). i don't ever have to worry about finding an AC outlet.
these are a great choice for portable speakers!

too expensive for the crappy sound Jun 05, 2004
these speakers are not very good. first of all, they are not magnetically sheilded cuz i put them close to my monitor and it turned green. the cord is very short and there is no bass. the ad says it can handle mega bass, but it doesn't. i am very disappointed with this product from sony. i am a sony guy and this is one that they should of never put out. i returned it the very next day.
