Customer Rating:      Summary: Didn't last long! Comment: I bought these speakers some months ago. I found the volume buttons sluggish and eventually stopped working altogether. Speakers no longer work at all. Waste of money.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Fantastic Comment: These speakers are expensive. There, I said it. You can get a Logitech 2.1 set for less that shakes your whole house and turns the room into a chamber of bass. But these speakers are perfect for me.
My laptop, whilst being nearly perfect, has gutless 'Realtek High Definition Sound'. Linking it to my stereo, the sound is flat and weak. It just sound horrible through any output, really only suitable for sound effects and Youtube videos.
Then I stumbled across these. They are USB, thus poweredby the laptop, but they also act as their own audio source (i.e they are selected by Windows as the sound source, rather than the onboard sound), resulting in much, much better sound!
The trebles are very clear and crisp, and they have a very surprising amount of bass for their small size. They can easily fill my bedroom with great quality sound; they are the perfect companion for my laptop and now I can finally use it to listen to music properly!
My only complaints are that they have a tendency to vibrate against whatever surface they are on- resting on something soft this is eliminated. I would have liked a headphone socket or line out but I can appreciate this wasn't part of their purpose, which is to have fantastic, portable sound for your laptop. They certainly succeed at that.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Good things come in small packages Comment: I was thoroughly surprised by the impressive sound quality of these small and practical speakers. As a student who travels between uni and home frequently, they were the ideal choice. The only problem that I have encountered is that speakers move around when the volume is turned up, but nothing a bit of blue-tac can't solve.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Nice speakers, some problems Comment: Very nice, compact speakers with good sound, very fast delivery. A couple of problems though. They don't switch off the PC speakers when you plug them in, as you might expect (e.g. with headphones in the audio jack). You have to restart the audio application. Even then they sometimes don't work (no sound, or no control via the multimedia buttons) and you have to switch audio preferences manually (and then switch back when you unplug them). The multimedia buttons themselves are unpleasant to use - hard and unyielding, with absolutely no tactile feedback - you can't tell if they are working or not. According to the manual only the mute button and volume controls work with all applications - the others may or may not be supported.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Don't know what Neil Patterson is on. Comment: These speakers are excellent for what they are - laptop speakers - i think Neil Patterson expected an orchestra along with his laptop!! Seriously, you won't find any better speakers in this price range to add to your laptop.
As for Neil, If you want lots of sound you need to spend lots of money....this is bargain basement here!

The Sony T500 is the biggest camera announcement at IFA so far, a 10-megapixel compact with a 5x zoom that shoots 720p high definition video.
Samsung is always keen to be on the bleeding edge, so it was no surprise to hear it announce OLED TVs, 200Hz picture modes and even a new ultra-high definition TV
Despite all the awful shopping channels, there's a wealth of great TV to record on Freeview. For maximum flexibility you'll want a DVD recorder and PVR with plenty of storage space, and that can record cable or satellite from a number of inputs.
