  These speakers are great, but since they only connect to USB they drain your computer’s power. My Macbook could not take the abuse any longer, the speakers stopped working in less than a year. I was very bummed out and could not get them to work anymore.

  I own a 2007 MacBook and ever since I bought it I have been bemoaning the fact that the speakers can’t project worth crap. I did buy a pair of standard small speakers for computer or stereo use—-the kind you have to also plug into a wall to get power—-but was frustrated by how un-portable they were. One day I was browsing around on Amazon and I found these speakers and thought they would be the perfect solution to all my lame-speaker-problems. However, being the poor starving college student that I was, I didn’t buy them. This Christmas (after two years of living with my computer’s original speakers), I received them as a gift and I cannot believe I lived for so long before without them. They are exactly what I imagined them to be! I should have bought them for myself when I first found them and sacrificed that really cute jacket I wanted to buy instead ;).

  The sound quality is very impressive for such small speakers. The fact they plug directly into the USB port is definitely the #1 point in their favor. Obviously, if you are wanting to blast music loud enough for a party, you should probably use larger speakers but for personal laptop use it doesn’t get much better than this. Everyone I have shown them to has also been amazed by how well they work. If you have lame speakers and you want to improve the quality of your sound-life, I say don’t hesitate and get these now!

  The speakers work great! They are small, light and do just what they were advertised to do. We are very happy with them and use them alot.

  These speakers are absolutely perfect as far as I’ve been able to tell. Most importantly, they’re amazingly loud. I can’t turn the laptop volume past halfway before people start to yell at me. The sound quality seems great, but then, I’ve got pretty bad ears. I’d look to the other reviews for information on the sound quality.

  My only concern, and it may well be unfounded, is the vertical stress on the USB port. Since these speakers curve upwards, the only support they have is the USB port itself. They stay exactly how I position them, but I worry about the stress it puts on the USB connection to the motherboard. Of course, I’ve had these for well over a year and haven’t actually had any problems. Plus, they’re really tiny. They’d probably fit in a laptop ’sleeve’ if you didn’t mind a wee bit of scratching.

  The single greatest reason to buy these, though, has nothing to do with their quality. It’s that they look just like E.T’s head! Seriously, it looks like he’s peering at you from behind the screen.

  My HP zv5000 laptop speakers stopped working AND, the headphone input would not work either!!!! I bought these for use while traveling. Good volume, sound is not good for music, but more than adequate for speech. I use Logitech’s USB for music quality when at home. For the size these work real well.

  Laptop Speakers - USB, Portable, Compact, Travel Speaker for PC and Mac - B-Flex 2 Hi-Fi Stereo USB Speaker (Black)

  Just bought a Sony Vaio 13.1″ Z notebook, and while comparatively speaking, the built-in speakers on my Vaio are better than other small notebooks, they definitely need to be enhanced. I bought the J Lab speaker, easily slid it into a USB port, and what a difference in sound quality & volume! This little speaker really adds a punch, and is perfect for watching videos, movies, etc., without having to put on headphones.
  For us who travel or want top-quality for music, a nice set of headphones don’t hurt, but for everyday use, this little J Lab unit is a perfect alternative–it’s also great-looking & is made-to-order for any laptop.
  To get the best sound from these, turn your notebook volume to 100%, plug these in, and adjust sound manually depending on what you’re watching/listening to. Great sound at a great price!

  when i first saw this product on Amazon, i said: great a speaker that doesn’t need to be plugged in and it can travel with you, the whole nine. when i received it, i was very disappointed, because it was smaller then i imagined and it doesn’t have a volume knob to adjust the sound, the sound quality is very poor, you might as well have no speaker at all. i hate it, it’s not worth the money they are asking for it

  I had this on my wish list for Christmas and my boyfriend bought it for me. I didn’t try it until about a month later and it did not work. It made a buzzing sound and no matter what I did I could not get sound to come out of it. I put it away and then tried again a few weeks later, thinking maybe I had done it wrong. It still did not work. I then emailed the company. I gave them a month to respond. I then emailed again and left a phone message (I am pretty sure they never actually answer the phone). Again, I gave them a month to call. I then emailed and called again and said that I need to have them respond in the next week. I never heard from them and yet, I still gave them about a month before I resorted to posting this.

  How can a company not respond when a product is defective? We just lost that money. I can’t believe a company would do that. Do not buy from this company you will have absolutely no support or anyway of getting your money back if it doesn’t work.

  I am still flabergasted that a company would just completely ignore you. JLAB are complete criminals.
