Customer Reviews

Okay but not a real solution
Let's face it, laptop speakers are terrible. We can all agree on that! But is this small USB laptop speaker system really the solution? Yes and no. On the plus side, the USB plug is easy to use - just plug and play! It works on both Mac and PCs. (I have a Mac.) The flexible gooseneck allows for quick directional adjustment and it's sturdy enough to easily support the speaker unit.

Also on the plus side, the speakers generate a hefty sound level. At the max volume setting on my computer, these little speakers were loud enough to be heard several feet away. If you want to use your laptop to play something for someone else, this is the way to go.

However, on the minus side... the sound quality is harsh and tinny, and there is very little bottom end. There are USB speakers available for the same price that have reasonably smooth high end and decent bottom end response (at least they give you an idea of what's happening in the bass), however they lack the convenience of this product. My overall assesment: this product is a good idea that hasn't been realized well. The gooseneck is sturdy enough to support a larger speaker unit that would allow for reasonable sound reproduction. The product feels and sounds more like a toy than an actual speaker. I doubt that I'll be using it for much.

Poor Customer Service
I ordered one of these in December and it did and still does work great. I ordered another one for a friend a week ago and it arrived defective. I have been unable to contact the company either by phone or by email. I finally just sent it back without talking to anyone since no one responded to my calls or emails. This was by far the worst customer service ever. No one responded at all. Very strange. I think they have an 800 number just to make it look like you can talk with someone. There is a recording but that's about it. I would never order from them again nor would I recommend them to anyone. If I could give a rating of zero I would.

I am thrilled with this item - Better than I thought they'd be!
My laptop speakers are pitiful - sometimes I even had trouble hearing with the headphones. (I do also have a slight hearing problem.) I didn't know there was a product like this until recently. I read the reviews from the other colors, and really wasn't expecting much, but they are GREAT!

I used to have to have my speakers turned up to 100 to hear anything (without headphones). Now 20 OR 30 does it, and it's LOUD. I didn't buy them for quality of sound, but the quality seems quite good, too. I bought them just to be able to HEAR videos and music. I didn't want regular speakers - I already have that with my desktop pc, and these are small and easy to store, but they have big, big, sound.

I will be buying them for my two kids as soon as I can afford to, because they both have the same type of laptop I do, and we have all complained to each other about the sound problem. I am just amazed at the sound that comes out of these little speakers.

There is no installation required - I just plugged them into a USB port, my pc recognized them immediately - it was plug and play and HEAR! I highly recommend these to anyone who has the same problem with their laptop or notebook.
