Logitech AudioHub Notebook Speakers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These "notebook" speakers are designed for those who use their laptops in the same place, day after day.They weigh almost as much as my MacBook and, because they come in a long, solid piece, are more awkward to carry.If you are looking for portable speakers to take with you on vacation or on business trips, skip this product.If you're looking for rich audio at home or at school, read on.

This unit is truly plug-and-play, with no installation disks and a minimal manual.Simply plug the power cord into an outlet (these speakers cannot run on battery power) and plug the USB cable into your computer.The end speakers can slide about two inches wider on both sides to keep various size screens from blocking the sound.The speaker unit comes with a USB cable, a USB cable extender (especially important if your USB slots are on the left side of your notebook), a bracket for holding a webcam above the laptop screen, and a 100-240 V power adaptor.Three USB ports are located behind the right speaker, although the topmost slot is too tight for fatter devices/plugs.These ports are essential since the speakers themselves take a USB slot on your notebook, and you probably have a mouse attached to another.

The sound is rich and without annoying hum at both the loudest and softest volumes.While many portable speaker units sound tinny when the volume is cranked up, the Logitech AudioHub sounds surprisingly steady.Yeah, you're not getting the highest end audio here, but you'll definitely get quality sound for the money. The volume knob on the side glows orange, making it easy to locate even at night.

The AudioHub is perfect for college students who don't have the space for larger speakers but who don't want to sacrifice sound quality as well as for people who use their notebooks in the same place every day. Although the speakers would work fine with a desktop computer, their single-unit construction makes them less than ideal.The only real advantage of this unit over similar sounding speakers is the ability to unplug it and move everything to the side with one action.

HP USB Mini Speakers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After listening to all I could possibly stand from my cheap acer built-in speakers, I broke down and bought these mini speakers. My expectations were not too high because they retail at only $40.

The packaging is durable. The instructions were clear and easy to understand. The housing on the speakers is plastic, but finished smoothly without any rough edges. They feel pretty solid, like the parts tolerances were tight and it was well put together even if it was plastic.The connectors are color coded so that you cannot mess this up and they are a decent quality. Plug the blue tipped cord into the blue tipped sockets and the green cord into the green socket. Then just plug the USB power cord into any USB port and the green cord into the speaker output of your device and you are done.

There is a handy little zipper case that makes this easy for travel or putting into a backpack/brief case or laptop case.

The sound is advertised as 'Clearer Sound'.Honestly that is an understatement. I would call it fantastic sound for little plastic speakers!Far better in every range (high, mid and lows) than my heftier desktop speaker kits for any of my other machines. With a pretty rich stereo sound.

I heard no crackle, static or any background noise. The signal to noise is 78 dB (not bad for the price). My first test was with a digital recording of a harp playing classical music like Fur Elise.You could hear every string with clarity and beauty. It stopped a group of kids nearby who started talking about the songs I was playing. The quality was just amazing for mini-speakers.

So, I may be purchasing another set of these.I heartily recommend them!

GOgroove Panda Pal Ultra Portable Speaker! FUN, COMPACT, and POWERFUL - Hi-Fidelity Speaker with for all Laptops and Desktop Computers - PLUG-N-PLAY - Includes SD / SDHC Card Reader Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)While searching for a way to get better sound from my audioably pathetic Sony Vaio VPC-EB15FX, which I love except for the weak and tinny sound, I found this USB speaker.I went to Best Buy to test theirs and borrowed some friends mini laptop speakers...some clamp to the screen, some plug into the headphone jack and some plug into the USB jack but none sound as full and complete as this speaker.Yes you are unable to "center" the speaker to top-dead-center of the screen to give a nice semi stereo effect but thats OK.This speaker is worlds above any I have found to date. It just sits on the left or right, whereever your USB jack is or even in the back if you have a jack in the back.

I believe it was originally designed for the Apple Mac but is simply USB and simply plugs into any USB jack.I plays perfectly on any PC and installs within a couple seconds. It increased my available volume by 3-4X easily, I had to turn down the laptops main volume level.Freq range is far superior to the laptops with the bass beginning around 100Hz compared to the laptops of probably 1000 HZ. Comprised of two small (1.5") speakers (3W x 2) and a 4 inch or so passive radiator on top.The whole contraption runs on 6W powered by the USB outlet.

The speaker comes with a small stand/strain relief thingy that is useless at best. Don't know what that engineer was thinking. Won't even consider the stand as a con because its a totally stupid attempt and best forgotten. Overall five (5) stars easily based on sound improvement alone.

PRO:USB connectors fits in nice and snug, well constructed, great sound. Nice oval shaped resonance chamber delivers surprising bass response. I can hear some symbols and that's something as I have a hearing loss to high frequencies and need to wear hearing aids so the freq response is probably actually near the advertised 100Hz-20KHz. Volume level can fill the whole room if needed.

CON:Kinda chunky.Doesn't allow to move around much, as will have to disconnect and reconnect each time.Not a light weight item.It may give stereo but the design doesn't allow that effect to work well.
