  Good enough for listening voice

  by Peter_Chua on October 27, 2010

  Pros: Voice sounds clear enough. Good and handy for those who want to listen to a lot of speech/sermon/audiobooks.

  Cons: - Too bulky for light travellers. About the size of 2-3 mugs, slightly longer.

  Summary: I owned an Altec Lansing 2.1 speaker before, so I know what to expect. I also owned Edifier USB al-cheapo speaker before tossing it away. I can say it sounds much better than Edifier, but not as good as my notebook speaker (Compaq, JBL speakers). I didnt factor the size when thinking of travelling, now I regret of buying this. I should have opted the one-speaker version, the ultraportable.
  
  As for USB connector, I got myself a USB-4AA battery holder, which can be used to power the speakers while on the go, so USB is a useful thing to me.
  
  As for music listening, I must say it isnot going to give you full pleasure listening coz the sound lacks "power". Can't and shouldnt' expect much music power ("punch/kick") from a USB powered speaker.

  Summary: Good speakers for laptops. Those who want low budget desktop speakers with good sound quality can buy these speakers too. USB powered so there is no need for A/C outlet, avoids clutter. Power on/off button. The only con is the lack of bass. But the overall sound quality is very good.
