 Terrible, thin, bassless soundSep 06, 2009
The only reason I give these speakers one star is because there's no 'zero' option. The sound is actually worse than the integral speakers on my laptop - 75% top, 25% middle and no discernible bass end. The USB dongle is badly engineered - it was loose in the USB slot, and the mini jack was loose in the dongle. On a friends say-so, I've now tried the Logitech X-140, and I can recommend these speakers without hesitation.
 DisappointingAug 15, 2009
A few things they dont tell you
1) the speakers have a standard mini audio connector with a 5mm->USB adapter which is about an inch and a bit in length. This is disappointing because i wanted to plug the speakers into my keyboard or monitor which have USB outlets and this is too large and unsightly for that.
2) The cable is a nasty tangly sticky clear wire style very thin wire, im sure youve seen this kind before it is contributes to a wire rats nest very easily.
3) Sound quality is poor, overpoweringly strong sound in the high ranges with weak mid-range obviously almost no bass (considering the price and size you would have to expect the bass problem). The simulated 7.1 is a gimmick.
If you intend to listen to any music at all, dont buy it.
Decent sound, cheap priceAug 03, 2009
Nothing spectacular about the sound. It's adequate. can't expect too much bass from such a small size.
It uses USB cable, so no power cord is needed.

 Awesome Speakers, Great Sound Quality and VolumeFeb 11, 2009
These speakers are great. They are nice looking and compact, and they offer great sound quality. I bought them mainly for volume, since my laptop's speakers aren't very loud. They add a great deal of volume while maintaining a high level of sound quality.
 For the price point, I can not complain.Jan 31, 2009
These speakers are just what they claim to be. A small portable speaker, at a very low price. These are not hi fi speakers. A little painful to the ears for long listening, turn these down real low while studying for background music. They kind of make you cring after a while. The speakers come with a usb dongle, its a usb sound card. I connected my speakers to a ubuntu linux os; no problems, after a few setting adjustments. Unbuntu apps used the usb sound card. If you want better sound I would suggest a 2.1 system with full range. I have a set of other speakers that are thx certified for good solid flat response across the full frequency range, but they cost a lot more money are are not portable. Regardless of the quality of sound, these speaker met my expectations:cheap, portable, durable, and they emit noise.
Cons: only mids or higher range, no sound stage, no lows; nothing below 80 hz.
