Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Bulky stereo systems are fast becoming relics of an earlier century, especially with speakers such as Sony's SRS-P11Q on the market. These passive speakers are designed to connect to a portable audio system, such as a CD Walkman or MP3 player, yet still deliver the same clear, vivid tones as much larger speakers. In the meantime, the 2-1/4-inch speaker bodies fit unobtrusively on a bookshelf, dresser, or desk, and also store compactly in a backpack or suitcase when on the move. The speakers are lightweight and distinctive, with circular shapes and small bulbous feet that keep them from tipping over. Listeners with a flair for accessorizing will appreciate the interchangeable white and silver faceplates, which lets people match the speakers to their players.

The speakers' audio derives from the 57 mm damper-less neodymium magnets, which produce a frequency response between 200 Hz to 10 kHz. The passive speakers also require no batteries, making them ideal for traveling or tailgating. The system comes with a stereo mini plug input and features 4 watts of maximum input power (2 watts x 2).

What's in the Box
2 speakers, white and silver faceplates, user's manual.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good external stereo speakers for laptop, September 25, 2005

I was hoping to find a set of compact powered stereo speakers for my laptop, but I wasn't particularly successful. I did however find these passive speakers from Sony. They work pretty much as I expected them to work. In a more general product rating forum, someone complained that they were not loud enough. These speakers are not designed to be used out-doors at poolside parties or anything like that. They are quite adequate to the task of producing stereo sound in a quiet office or home environment. They have interchangeable bezels one set which is translucent and the other set is snow white. This suggests that they were designed to be used with the Apple Macintosh iBook line of laptop computers. In general, I am very happy with them. I am giving them four stars instead of five because of the difficulty in transporting them. The two speakers are inseparable. They are joined by their audio cable and are of irregular physical design. The problem would have been partially solved if Sony had included a drawstring bag to hold them while they are being transported.

I've bought lots of stuff from Amazon but this is my first time to write a review of something. That's how pleased and excited I am about this purchase! I bought these little speakers so that I (and my co-workers) could listen to my iPod at work. These are going to be perfect! Great design and compact enough for my desk. And I love the low price since it's just something for work. Note: There is no seperate volume control on the speakers. They plug directly into your iPod and you must use iPod's volume control. This means the sound won't go up high so don't buy these if you're looking to play music really loud. It's perfect for me though since I'm using these in a work environment. Another note: No outside power is required for these speakers. You don't have to deal with batteries or outlets. It draws it's power from your device.

This Sony speaker system, which plugs into your audio device, works like a headset that you don't have to wear in or on your ears, and it doesn't rock down the house. Neither does it require batteries, a bonus for your wallet and the environment. Despite my moderate hearing loss, with this set I find the spoken word distinct and the tone excellent. The silver face plates even enhance the unit's appearance. Small price, big quality, great product!
