 Love 'em long time Jul 16, 2010
I've had one of these for going on three or four years now, and they haven't failed me yet. Got them on the bargain rack at Walmart for $10, so I wasn't expecting much from them, but they've lasted longer then any of the other portable speaker system's I've tried. These are slim and light, so easy to pack if your going to bring them anywhere with you, and they have a standard 3.5 mm jack, so you can plug them into anything that a pair of headphones would.
One of the things I love, which I've found pretty difficult to find on portable speakers, is the passive mode. Almost all the other portable speakers I buy or fix up have to use batteries of some kind in order to work. With the passive mode, it won't be too loud, but you'll still have speakers that work. And I find that the speakers actually have a pretty good volume without batteries, although obviously they are much louder when in "active mode", and running on batteries.
If you want something to travel with that won't take up much room, will be sturdy enough to handle being bumped dropped and hit, and still never have to worry if you have extra batteries, then go with these speakers.
cute and handy, but not much for sound Jun 04, 2010
It's a good little extension for an iPod or a week laptop sound system. But at high volume it does what any cheep little speaker system does and distorts everything.
Pro's: It's small and it's controlled by the volume on your devise....
Con's: It's small and it's controlled by the volume on your devise....think about it.

 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.
