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 .

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…

I was going to post a video review but it took too long to upload and was larger than the 100mb Amazon says is the max. So here is my written review: The HP notebook speakers have great sound, and are very tiny (about three inches) and easy to carry on a trip-with one exception (see negatives). I compared these speakers to GE usb speakers (bad sound very muddled) logitech V-20 which are about twice as large as the HP’s (and more expensive) and would not be great travel speakers.

I tested the Logitech’s at a large box store with the initials B. B however I could not get them up as loud as the HP’s. It might have been the pair I tried or because of other noise in the store. They are also more expensive then the HP’s.

Ok here is the negative for the HP speakers. There are three cables for the HP’s, one goes from…

Springy Cables, September 1, 2009

Small light weight speakers with a travel case. The sound is ok for the small size but they don’t have much bass, which is to be expected. The only real problem I have is the very stiff, springy connection wires combined with the slick, light weight plastic speaker cases made them very difficult to position as they keep moving around.

Had I known this, I wouldn’t have bought them.
