Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I got mine for about $20 at Fry's electronics but they have sound quality of something I would expect for $40-$50 so they retail appropriately if a bit high for someone who doesn't care if the sound is great. These things can get pretty darn loud without losing sound quality. As a trucker I travel a lot and use these with my netbook I travel with, and I must say these speakers are EXTREMELY convenient. They have a magnetic rim or something that lets them clip together face to face so they look like an egg when pressed together, they sound interesting when you play music with them face to face like that! The cords are then removed from both the computer and the speakers themselves and with a little twist-tie you are good to go! They're about the same size as a Iphone or wallet. They don't have a lot of 'bulk' to their weight so they're nice and light.
I haven't dropped mine yet so I can't tell you how strong they are, they're solid so they're fine for small drops off a table but I wouldn't suggest throwing them out of a moving vehicle at freeway speeds.
My only wish is the company didn't make them quite as flat, or made the rims come out a little more. That way you could wrap the cords up nicely and keep them between the speakers as their own box and never have to worry about misplacing them.
I've gone through a lot of these type of small speakers over the past 6 years, and I have to say I'll only buy these from now on whenever I am buying small light duty speakers for whatever reason.
As of right now I am a consistent buyer of Sony MDR-J10 h.ear Headphones, and these SIIG speakers to meet my low budget auditory needs. When I make some good money or companies lend their equipment to me to review I'll be happy to share my thoughts on high end equipment like Bose.
