Syba USB Powered 3.5mm Audio Laptop Speaker CL-SPK20138 Clip-On Soundbar - Portable Compact Travel Stereo Speaker Bar Design Uses USB for Power 3.5mm Jack for Audio Black.

THIS THING IS RIDICULOUSLY LOUD!!! It also isn't tinny like I expected. It isn't exactly full of bass or the best speaker ever, but holy moly, this thing does the job.OK, I'm not a fanboy for anything, but I rarely if ever come across a product that actually does what I purchase it to do. Every other desktop or portable speaker I've ever purchased was clearly made of junk and useless bits. They never work like you expect, even when you spend upwards of $50 for a portable speaker. So, I'm about to gush a bit about this Connectland one, deal with it.For a cheap speaker it is LOUD, and the sound is full. I've listened to MLB announcers, and just a few moments ago listened to some varied styles of music. This speaker finds its comfort level in the 50%-65% of full volume range(on the PC of course, there is no adjustment knob or slider on the speaker) . Over 70% of full volume the sound washes out a bit but keeps its fidelity all the way up to 100%. I'm listening to Lamb of God (who remembers 10 years ago eh?) as I type this and while it isn't full and perfectly clean, it is leagues, LEAGUES better than even the desktop set of CA and Logitech speakers I've blown through in the last few years.For someone using a desktop, these would be useful if you don't have the space for a more expensive set, but for the cost you absolutely can't go wrong with these. I'm right now going to order another one to keep in my laptop bag to travel with.To address the main issue in other reviews, yes the way the speakers "sit" on top of the monitor make it fall off onto the keyboard if you tilt the screen past 90° toward you. If the screen is leaning back it sits perfectly. An easy fix, you could just take a couple of the mid to large sized binder clips and clip the thing to your screen. Not optimal I know, but you're also not shelling out the big bucks for a high end speaker here.In regard to the speaker and primarily the SUPER BRIGHT LIGHT BURIED IN THE FRONT OF THE SPEAKER I'm just going to set the speaker behind or under my laptop and let the sound amplify a bit in the room. It's a bit more muffled, but I don't have the bright light in my face and the sound is already so loud that it creates a bit of a surround feel. Seriously, it sounds great.Lastly, if you're the kind to use the cheap style desktop speakers with a cheap subwoofer and two dinky desktop cans, throw those away. Buy this, an audio jack splitter, and a USB hub, and put one on either side. No, they won't be true stereo (unless you buy an R/L splitting jack, wink wink) but the sound is absolutely worth it.All in all, this is absolutely worth the $11 or so I paid for it, and while on a budget, I'm going to buy another right now to ensure I always have one available.Buy this. You won't regret it. It's awesome. I'm going to buy another one ASAP!

The media could not be loaded. I got this to use as a sound bar to replace the very crappy speakers that came with my Visio TV. The reviews were generally good, but because of the low price I was still very sceptical. I was very surprised as to the good quality of sound and materials. My TV had a built-in headphones jack and a USB port. So, it was easy plugnplay. The sound was crisp and clean, with no noticeable distortion even at maximum volume. This is the sign of good components. There's not much base here, but shouldn't be expected either. I used some epoxy to permanently attach it to the bottom of my TV. But you can use Velcro also. So, there's a common complaint about the very bright blue LED. It doesn't bother me, but you can use a little black electrical tape over it and it's easily gone. This is definitely a good deal and highly recommend.

This is great speaker for the money. It's clear and loud, but doesn't have a volume control on it and you need to use your computer to adjust. My only complaint is the way it mounts - it does not. You can place it on top of your laptop screen, but because of the way it's made, it only has a piece of plastic to come down from the speaker to the back of the laptop screen, so when you close the laptop, the speaker will fall off every time. I will keep it though and used Gorilla Tape on the extention behind the screen to permanently keep it in place. It's not aesthetic looking, but you can't see it anyway when the screen is up. It has an annoying little blue light on the front left, but I put masking tape over it and blocked it out.

For an optimal viewing angle while seated, the laptop screen is titled back slightly. Also, that's the ONLY way the speaker will stay, since there's not a clip...just a support on the back.However, at that angle, with the weight of the speaker, the laptop keeps wanting to flip over.Plus, there's a bright, annoying blue light on the speaker that's directly in the line of sight when I'm watching the screen.While the sound is good, overall, it's not worth the other flaws.
