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!

I wanted to like these speaks but despite plenty of positive reviews I still had realistic expectations. Well, they are OK. But JUST OK. The sound is not very loud and there is ZERO low and middle range, (I suppose it is better than nothing at all, though). In my opinion, not worth making room for in your luggage.

Personally I am going to return mine and pay a little more money for hopfully a little more quality.

These cute little speakers are as nice as it gets for portable speakers with no external power source. They sound a little "small" but the quality of the sound is not bad. I wouldn't recommend them to play live performances where the sound isn't super crisp, but on most music recordings, I think they are more than adequate. Not too expensive, and they have a normal headphone jack, so they might be used with many different music players. They are a little bigger than I expected, but they do have a small footprint, so they fit well on a desk or counter.

Regardless of the price, which is very reasonable, these little speakers put out respectable sound quality. They just used the signal from your headphone. The quality of sound is as good as the headphone output. So if your headphone isn't pushing out distortion, then these little speakers won't either. It is essentially a 2" speaker enclosed in a spherical cabinet with a small sound port in the back to improve bass response. They are better than lap top speakers and they work greate with my HP Ipaq PDA. I bought 2 additional pairs to add to my model railroad.

sony's speakers works really well with the ipod but the sound does not go really loud. very convient to carry around and they are really cute.

Depending on what you're looking for, these speakers are great. I was looking for a way to play my ipod at work (my computer doesn't have speakers). They can actually be too loud for a work environment. They don't have alot of mid-range or bass, but they certainly fulfill their purpose. I love that they are light weight, and don't need batteries. They can be put in my suitcase for travel, or used on the beach!!

Good price, good speakers for a small room. Don't try them for a party! The volume is low, but useful for camping or taking a bath!

I hooked this up to my iPod shuffle. It works great indoors, but outside it does not get very loud. If you turn the volume above middle range on the shuffle the audio starts to cut in and out. Sounds like a cd skipping. If you turn the volume back down, it works fine. Basically, you're getting what you pay for in size and sound.
