Customer Reviews

easy to use, high quality usb device
This is a plug n' play USB Speaker with excellent sound compared to other speakers of it's size. I've tested it in Windows 7 and Kubuntu 9.10. It works great in both, though in linux you have to bump up the audio device preference in the sound manager; it's very easy to use :). One thing I should note, is that higher pitch sounds do sound a bit tinny, but voices come across very clearly. The built in 52mm bass is also quite powerful for it's speaker class. Unfortunately, this speaker does not have a built in mic, otherwise it would perfect as a portable skype conference phone. The speaker can get quite loud as well, without noticeable distortion until the upper threshold. The speaker itself is probably a little less than 3 inches in diameter.

Obviously, it's a little more expensive than it's predecessor the TR-UA211. This new version appears to be black, without the folding 2x28mm speakers, and more aesthetically pleasing in general. An added plus is that it comes with nice black carrying pouch.

A thing to note is that the USB cord length is quite short, a little more than one feet. If you plan on plugging this in for a desktop or something a little farther away, I recommend you bundle this with a USB extender cable.

This speaker is a little on the expensive-side but it's obvious you are paying for the quality, aesthetic finish, and decent sound quality compared to other USB sound devices of this size.

I've had it for a little more than two weeks now, and quality has been consistent... barring the unforeseen, I think this speaker will make a nice addition to my on-the-go portable devices.

Nice Addition for a Dell Studio Laptop
Unfortunately, my Studio 15 laptop has such bad speakers that this is a noticeable upgrade. If a friend went to a concert, called you on their cell phone, then held the phone up in the air so you could listen, you would probably get better fidelity than my built-in laptop speakers. I don't require perfect sound reproduction, but I do want to be able to watch a youtube video or TV show and be able to tell what is being said. This unit meets that need. The unit is quite sturdy and provides adequate sound for me and other people in the same room. No worries about damaging this unit when you put it in your bag. The USB cable wraps up neatly inside the bottom for transport. The price is higher than you would pay for similar sound quality from regular desktop speakers, but you gain the portability, durable construction and compact size.

it's not plug and play.....
I could not get it to work with my laptop, but was able to get it to work with a desktop (that had good speakers). Consequently, I returned it for credit.
