Reviews from others gave me a green light to buy this small speaker if only to see for myself what they were talking about. When I received the speaker, I was surprise how small it really is! But, it speaks volumes! It works well with my ipod, my laptop and my friends were all impress that the small speaker was giving out regular speaker quality sounds! They all wanted to know where to get one! Fantastic buy!

When I received this I was a bit disappointed by its size – on the basis that nothing this small could be much excellent. Boy was I incorrect! It is TINY but has a fantastic sound quality, clarity, ease of use etc etc. Highly recommended and I’m buying another one.

I bought this speaker when it was called BYTECH from Best Buy. I had read that this was a excellent item on line before locating a merchant. The item is so small that I can nearly enclose it entirely in my hand so that it is barely visible. This speaker can open up so that the bass producing baffles is set. A small wire with a headphone jack is embedded in the indentation made just for the jack. i have to peel it out with my finger nails or something else if my nails are too small which they usually are. This is the only aspect that makes the device less than really ease of use. The unit comes with a nice USB with self winding wire. This wire stretches out to plug into the other side of my laptop to recharge the battery when need be. The speaker seems to require very small recharge time and even if the unit goes dead you can recharge while playing straight away. By the time you pack up, you have a recharged unit excellent for a few long sessions without charging! It is so simple to just throw the speaker in with your laptop bag. The device easily screws into a ball and does not open in transit.

The sound quality is excellent for this smallness of size but please don’t expect it to sound like it would if it was some sort of desk top speaker system. Just expect if to be better than most laptop speakers (the only one I would not expect it to be better than is a SRS type speaker common on the better HP laptops). As for my laptop (a Dell Studio) the external speaker is way better and much more efficient. The sound is more natural and clear. My laptop without this speaker is barely audible for nearly all You Tube clips. Some laptop manufacturer might reckon about installing this speaker into a laptop design which includes its battery and the screw open baffle. I would buy one of these laptops even with a one speaker design. Who needs stereo unless listening through headphones or a desktop speaker system? What is the point of listening to two mediocre speakers when one is better?

no need to write much..with this cool design..small size..perfect quality even at high sound..

if this mini speaker doesnt get a 5 stars rate…nothing else will!an brilliant deal..only if it had less wires..may be a direct usb or direct plug attached to it would have been better..still perfet though!

Mine came with static noise. After jiggling with connector sound cleared but returned after moving the wire slightly. Had to return.
