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

• Lots of power in a small package

  
  By A2Z4V8VZ4GZ6C8 on 2007-01-18
  I really thought the reviews for this item were probably a little over-blown, but the speakers have proven me wrong. As someone who primarily uses their laptop on the go, I have been looking for a set of small, easily transportable, decent sounding speakers. These fit into all three categories. I am pleasantly surprised by the fullness of the sound that they put out. If you're strictly an audiophile, you'd be better off investing in a good set of Bose headphones, but if you need something to quickly and efficeintly plug and play so other people can hear what is on your laptop, then you won't find a better buy for your money.
  
  

• IF YOU CAN'T HEAR YOUR LAPTOP SPEAKER GET ONE OF THESE!

  SOLVED MY PROBLEM TO A 'T'. WOULD HAVE RATED IT 5 STARS IF THEY SUPPLIED A LITTLE LEG TO SNAP ONTO THE BOTTOM OF THE FLEX WIRE TO KEEP IT FROM STRESSING THE USB PORT. WOULD HAVE RATED IT 10 STARS HAD THEY PUT AN ON/OFF VOLUME CONTROL ON IT!
  
  

• Amazing USB powered speaker

  
  By A921JOUKG5MQ0 on 2006-12-18
  The built-in speakers on laptops stink.
  This speaker is the first light, portable speaker to give your audio a bigger blast. Plus, the real beauty is it's powered by your computer's USB port. AMAZING - NO WIRES GOING TO A POWER OUTLET. I work in the media business, so i'm constantly screening stuff off my laptop. I bought one, but my clients kept borrowing it - so we decided to give them away this year as a holiday present. One of the best gifts ever! Love this thing.
  
  

• Average sound

  
  By A2SRPQSFNBWM50 on 2007-03-21
  Unless your laptop's soundcard is not working, or your speakers are barely hearable I wouldn't recommend this. Odds are your laptop does as much as these speakers.
  
  It is well built, looks resistant and it does a decent job. Do not expect very good quality.
  
  

• my macbook speaker woes are over!!

  
  By A2B73DK91HGJ5Q on 2006-12-16
  WOW! This product has totally boosted my macbook's speakers! I could just barely hear them before. Can hear all my music loud and clear now and the sound quality is super good. My girlfriend tried it on her dell and loved the sound, so I got her one for Chanukah. Great product!
  
  
• The Best "Little" Speaker
  By A17JIW72VV7O0J on 2007-01-12
  I didn't think this speaker would be anywhere near as good as it is. I was looking for a speaker(s) for my daughters new laptop and found this speaker. It seemed perfect. My daughter is thrilled with it! We all can't believe how good the sound is and how "cool" it looks! And very easy to pack away and take it with you!
  
  
• Pretty incredible sound quality
  By A187JOKO4RH6IU on 2008-05-11
  I bought these after reading all of the positive reviews and they lived up to the hype. I have a macbook and the b-flex really blows the stock speakers away. Now I can watch movies on my laptop without headphones. This is a really cool product if you want sound on the go and dont want to setup big clunky speakers.
  
  
• Cool!
  By AAA38Y14SZAHZ on 2007-01-13
  It was a gift to my daughter and she was thrilled! We were all amazed at
  the "out of the box" design and think that the folks at JLab need to expand and create a whole lot of new "out of the box" stuff to make life
  easier and more efficient! And, the speaker sounds GREAT!
  
  
• love it
  By A1PEHCWNGK1XA8 on 2007-01-11
  got it for my father for Christmas. It has traveled from Wisconsin to New Zealand and back. he loves it.
  
  
• Cheerfully solicited
  By A141EC671SIB4T on 2007-01-11
  Disclaimer: this is a solicited review. JLab asked nicely if I could post a note that I liked their gadget. Oddly enough, I _do_ like their gadget. Good sound quality, good volume, and awfully easy to throw into a laptop case with the laptop.
  
  
• Works perfectly.
  By A1P1I3OW52ZQVL on 2007-01-30
  Speakers quit working on my laptop and needed something decent and easy - and this is better than that. Good quality considering size and price.
  
  
• Like it so much bought it for a friend.
  By A1EEPW9LYGBORC on 2007-03-08
  I like the sound of mine so much I bought one fo my friend for his birthday. It's not super loud but you can listen to music from your mac, with good quality. Just plug it into your USB port. My friend loves his too. He uses his all the time. Great for travel.
  
  
• Are you kidding me?
  By A3IWAB0TG9WA4Y on 2008-08-12
  I read the luke warm and negative reviews for this speaker but ordered one anyway.
  This is one cool device. Those writing negative reviews: get real.
  Sure the sound is not studio quality.
  However, it greatly surpasses computer built-in speakers and now makes listening to music at my desk enjoyable rather than a chore.
  For the price, you can't really go wrong.
  
  
  
• Unbelievable!
  By A2HYAO5TPBED6W on 2008-08-23
  I was terribly disappointed with the lousy sound on my new laptop. so I searched Amazon for speakers. They arrived today (13 days after I ordered them?), but I believe it was worth the wait. Fabulous! I agree with another reviewer that if you're an audiophile these might not be for you, but I was truly amazed at the difference. Do not hesitate to order if you hate that tinny sound on your laptop.
  
  
• Love this Product
  By A1CNCJYQ6YFQDN on 2008-08-24
  I saw this at a Sony showroom in Singapore while I was travelling there on my honemoon trip. I loved this product, but it was not for sale there. They did not know where they bought it from, and I kept looking for this at every small/big computer accessories store, but could not find it. One day, my friend Sumit found it for me from Amazon, and I bought it. Thanks Amazon and thanks b-Flex, I love this product. It is so convenient and works great.
  
  
• I Love These Speakers!
  By A1D2MMV7FN3R6B on 2006-12-15
  I recieved a b-flex speaker as a gift not too long ago and I love it! It doesn't require a power cord, it instantly installs itself (I'm running windows XP), and it sounds great! It's a clever idea and a well built device. I haven't had any problems with it at all and I highly recommend it! I just bought the JLab J-Buds as well for my iPod.
  
  
• portable laptop speakers
  By A1L003EKUAZPFA on 2006-12-20
  What incredible speakers! They bring out the best audio a dvd/cd can provide. Genius idea!
  
  
• Just plain awful!
  By A2M7JY8ULFEWBA on 2007-01-11
  Bought this speker for my G4 ibook. Should have save my $$$. Spealers are not much better than internal ibook speakers.
  
  
• Great Gift Idea
  By A20SZOZ42PW199 on 2007-01-11
  This is a great gift idea and an awsome solution for laptops with so so speakers! I bought one for myself and loved it so much that I bought 3 more for christmas gifts. All were well recieved!
  
  
• Does what it promises
  By AGFUXSQA6220M on 2008-11-20
  The B-flex will make up for the poor speakers on your laptop. It is great for meetings, movies, and music.
