Pretty good

I like these speakers, technically they are good - loud and nice. Especially, like me if you busted your inner sound card by pouring hot coffee on your laptop :) It saved me a ton of money by not having to buy a new mother-board or a new laptop!

Great little speakers! They put out quite a punch for their size and I really like the fold up size of 4.25 x 1.75 x 1.25! The usb cord reels into the speakers with the touch of a botton and you close the lid to completely hide the cord away for storage. Fits great in a note book carry case side pocket.

These speakers solved an audio malfunction with my laptop. They are convient and put out much better sound quality than the original laptop speakers.

Nice Design, Loud, ok sound

I bought these speakers for my MacBook.
1) The design is great, with the retractable USB cord that can be hidden totally inside. They're very light & seem sturdy.
2) The volume is very good. The internal speakers at full volume are the same as these at 1/4 volume.
3) Sound quality is ok. The internal speakers sound slightly better at the same volume. These are fine for casual listening but they sound a little more tinny than the internals. That said, the extra volume more than makes up for this. With these speakers one can hear music right across the house.
4) Mute key & volume controls on the speaker are good. Curiously, on the MacBook they work even when the built-in speakers are selected.

Also, after selecting these speakers, unplugging them reverts to the internal speakers, then reconnect the USB and they're again automatically selected which is nice - rather than having to go to System Preferences every time. Also very nice, the Mac remembers volume and mute separately for the internal & USB speakers, so re-connect them and the volume is where you left it for these speakers, not where you had the internal speakers set.

Bottom line: not for audiophiles, but for casual music, Skype/iChat, etc. these things are great and provide all the volume, portability and convenience one could want.

A great solution for a blown audio circuit on a laptop motherboard!

The audio went out on my son's laptop (Dell Inspiron 5100) and since audio circuit is integrated with the motherboard, the only solution at first seemed a complete motherboard replacement. Fortunately, I found these USB speakers that provide a workable solution. Beware - many *other* "USB" speakers are only USB-powered and you still have to plug an audio cable into the analog audio output jack of your computer. That was not a solution in our case because the audio output was fried. However, *these* speakers are purely USB connected, incorporating a USB-interfaced digital to analog audio circuit right in the speaker housing. The speakers were automatically recognized as an external USB audio device by Windows XP as soon as we plugged them in, and he once again has sound output from his laptop!
