it's very small and sits nicely on top of the computer - makes for a little less clutter.
these speakers are great.they really blast my small room and i am very happy about this buy.easy to install and compact in size.wouldn't imagine a great sound effect out of these lil once.i would
didnt get from this site but got rest on comp here but these things are nice sound great and not to heavy on the pocket its not gonna shake the pics off the wall but i was surrised i didnt expect it
when i finally received the speaker system i was a bit skeptical, the subwoofer was the bulk of the set in both size and weight, so i assumed the satellite speakers wouldn't be worth much.
it's ideal for a mid sized room and perfect for your bedroom.
great for games, music, and movies.
these sound better than my 5.1 surround sound speakers home theater system i bought from circuit city
this product is amazing, the kind of surround sound it gives worth a lot more than its price.
wires on speakers are pretty cheap, might fray easily, but if you're planning to keep them relatively stationary, which you should because it's a large set of speakers, then you'll be just fine.
i was quite impressed, and am still impressed with these speakers, they're not super high quality so don't expect them to be, but they give you 5.1 surround sound with decent bass for a great price.
they don’t get as loud as some larger systems we’ve auditioned lately, but they’re easily the speakers to beat at this price point.
these speakers don’t get as loud as some larger systems we’ve auditioned lately, but that’s the only thing that holds us back...
i narrowed my search by eliminating big companies that produced many products because i knew they would not give attention to detail to any one product.
after those several hours of break in the speaker system sounded impressive for their size.
i don't think there is a better solution for computer music listening if small size and simplicity is critical.
actually it improve the sound from the internal speaker from the laptop that having too small and sound better with this hook up external usb port.
the smaller size would make this speaker a much "bigger" success by making it more feasable to use it for its intended portable purpose.
when playing a movie on my laptop, i literally feel like i'm sitting in a surround sound theater - i know it's hard to believe - but it's true!!
this is a pretty good device, although it is larger than it appears to be on the images (and quote heavy as well).
i loved the design,size and was blown away by the sound quality as soon as i played my itunes on it!
i decided to try it on my computer and they blow away anything i've used so far, without even having a huge subwoofer!

i tried turning them full blast and they never got damaged even playing bass heavy music.
i wanted some basic speakers these are great and easy to use.
you cannot expect much bass response for this size and price of speaker.
an excellent set of small speaker and don't even need a external power adapter.
small speakers with big sound.
the speakers are small enough to fit on any desk.
the sound is great and it handles bass well too plus they are very compact and fit easily on my desk.
if you are like me and just want to give the kids some sound for their video games these are great.
i absolutely love the small form factor as it goes with the small computer area that is setup for my small 7 year olds and the sound is good to boot (note: you audiophiles will have different
these speakers are great, especially if you're looking for an easily portable product.
these speakers were much smaller than i had pictured.
you can use this product with your flat screen tvs (19"), portable players, and computers--a very compatible product and easy to set up.
it is hard to believe that such sound, including the bass ranges, could eminate from such small speakers, and at this great price.
heavy enough to prevent tipping over easily but light enough to move.
the speakers are basically the same sizeas the cheapos they replaced.
design concerni agree with the prior review....a mesh to cover the basxport™ on top of the speakers would be a great idea....to keep small particles from falling in.
i have a new gen "small lap-top" which is cool for portability, but the built-in speakers are a joke.
one big knob control and the aux in are nice, too.
the sound is great and plenty big enough to fill the room.
very portable if you move around a lot.
along with great sound they are portable and light enough to take along on a flight.
i tested these out last night, and the amount of volume output is pretty amazing for how small these speakers are.
like another reviewer said, there's no real low-end base, but i don't think anyone expects that in self powered sub-compact usb notebook speakers.
the sound is crisp and is slightly distorted at full blast bass, but its not a non issue for the price or size.
i purchased these speakers for a pc that i was building for my small business.
i am very happy with the product, good sound, good asthetic, just one point to be noted is that the speakers in size are little smaller than usual computer speakers
one speaker is enough to fill a room - you just won't get the surround sound effect.
i purchased the speakers to use as surround sound for my flat screen tv.
would be nice if you could use the remote to turn them on, but that's not a huge issue.
we are considering buying two more, whether or not the four will use the same wireless frequency or not, the ability to place the wireless speakers into the dead spots in a large room, or in areas
they are not as big as i thought they would be but the sound is plenty loud for my needs - so check their height - for some reason i thought they were bigger - actually they worked out better for me
i am using them in my bedroom with my second media computer and i see that i don't need to add rear speakers to get great surround sound.
the quality is excellent especially with the hd surround sound on.
the speakers do simulate a full surround sound for the pc only....
date: july 23, 2008 prosgreat surround sound with only 3 speakers!
there huge!
i have my computer setup for surround sound, so i hooked up these speakers in the subwoofer port, which gives me more bass and more control of the bass with the built-in bass volume control, but
it replaced a 5.1 surround system costing double the cost of this compact system.
i especially love the compact size.
huge upgrade from stock desktop jbl speakers.
what a big difference.
it resembles regular small computer speakers from the old desktops with a subwoofer.
great sound for my small office, works for mp3 player too.
volume knob is large and works well.
more than likely you will not turn the volume half way up for everyday use.
i have enjoyed movies/games a lot more since hooking these up.
my use...listening to music on cds or the windows media player playlist and dvd movies or shows; plus, game sounds are very good or they can be shut off and you can listen to your own music instead.
i wish the buttons were coated with rubber.the speakers themselves are very lightweight and not balanced well...they easily tip over to the front due to the design.
this problem creates a balance (weight) problem,speakers tip forward easily.
the sound quality isn't what i expected and the satellites tip over easily as they don't have a good base and/or not weighted.
windows media player is where i put all my cds and the quality of my music couldn't be better for this size sound system.
i've been running them non-stop now for 2 days with my zen and some heavy music and they still sound fantastic.
prosgreat package, great sound for games.
duration of product use: less than a week level of expertise: good title: small but strong date:?january 5, 2008 prosive only had these lest than a week.
prosi bought this system for my dorm room and it is the perfect size for a dorm.

unless you want some surround sound speakers or want something with a heck of a lot of power, these will delight just about anyone who needs quality computer speakers.
these speakers are large enough to provide ample speaker size without being overly bulky.
their construction is heavy duty - they're not lightweight, and they're not made from cheap materials.
they are very heavy, which indicates a nice sized magnet inside.
these speakers provided rich, full, and surprisingly loud sound for their 26 watts- definitely loud enough to fill a medium size room for a party.
additional thoughtsbuy this if you're considering it and want something small.
prosthis item is so small , that i was actually disapointed when i recieved it, but then i plugged it into my laptop and heard it, this speaker is better then the larger speakers i bought.
i don't use it for a portable music player speaker (it's not very portable given that it doesn't have batteries), but i do use it for my laptop, and i'm very happy with its small size and sound
this product is ideal if ure looking for compact and good quality sound.
for college students, who have a limited amount of space, this is a great way to enjoy your music without taking large speakers.
the presentation of this set is tough to beat if you're looking for portable, usb powered amplifier speakers.
the usb just plugs into the docking station.
just plug into any usb port and the computer will install the drivers for it (windows vista).
they will travel well in your laptop case, as long as it's big enough.
very acceptable quality for such small speakers.
oustanding surround sound and bass quality.
"pros:- nice, simple design- wireless remote control is nice to have- usb functionalitycons:- weight...
the are a llittle heavy but i but once in my backpack i can transport with no issues.
i also have a desktop computer with 5.1 surround sound speakers and these speakers are as clear as those.
i had all sorts of computer speakers over the years , including my phillips surround sound home stereo hooked up to my computer,and these computer speakers by logitech deliever some of the best
