These speakers produce great sound and are easy to use, just plug them into your USB port. They come with a nice case to carry them or store them with. In my case I use my laptop as an alternative desktop computer, so I don't usually take it anywhere. Therefore I use the case to store the speakers when not needed. The speakers are smaller so that it would not be a problem transporting them along with your computer as long as you had a descent sized bag to carry everything. It is great not having to plug in a separate plug to power the speakers. The speakers are powered through your computer, which will reduce battery time. For the way I use my laptop, almost always plugged in, these speakers are just what I wanted.

I bought these for use with a Mac Mini, and paid about $29.00 for them. They were probably an "open box" or returned item, but arrived in perfect condition and suit my needs 100% -Thanks, Amazon!

One reason I bought these is so I can hear television shows from the Internet better on my laptop. They are good for this application. Another reason I bought these was to mix and edit audio while I'm traveling. They are terrible for this, because the equalization is all out of wack. The mid-low range frequencies come in louder than everything else. Higher frequencies sound distant and tinny. I can get better mixes from headphones. Also, the buttons don't work so well. They're stiff and you have to pick the speaker up to use them. So if you just need a little boost when listening to music or playing video from your laptop, these will do the job. Just don't rely on them for production purposes. This being said, they're a little bit better than Edirol's USB speakers, which have the same problems but in a more extreme way.
