Yamaha NX-U10 USB Powered Stereo Speaker

 

When I first spied the NX-U10 USB powered speaker system at CES, I was pretty impressed. A portable speaker system that can be powered by the wall, batteries, OR USB? That's a pretty nifty idea. The

Small, light, and portable ; Sound Quality light years above your built-in speakers ; Three ways to power/two ways to stream music ; Surprising stereo image given size

Yamaha NX-U10 USB Speaker Video

 

The Yamaha NX-U10 USB speaker is a multi-faced speaker that can be powered in almost any way imaginable... except for fuel cell or solar. OK, so it takes USB power, batteries and even AC - but it's

Yamaha NX-U10 USB Speakers

 

We weren't surprised that the “U” in Yamaha's NX-U10 portable speaker system stands for “USB,” but we were taken aback to discover that these tiny speakers can tap a USB port for power as well as digital audio.

Can draw power from USB; tight sound, good bass

Distortion at high levels; USB power can limit volume; pricy

You’ll never mistake the bass emanating from these wee speakers for a subwoofer, or even a conventional full-range driver, but at least it’s tight. The main drivers, meanwhile, fulfill their mission with aplomb. But don’t push the amp too hard: We...

Yamaha NX-U10 speakers review

 

Another step forward for portable laptop speakers

No shortage of oomph

£150 is a lot for portable speakers

If you can justify the cost, you'll find a product that exceeds all expectations

Yamaha NX-U10

 

The new NX-U10 is pretty revolutionary, because it's the first set of speakers we've reviewed that deliver a decent volume level and sound quality while being powered entirely by your Mac's USB port

Nice looks, Simple to set up, Powered via USB cable, Battery option

Quite expensive for speakers, Can't charge an iPod

The best sounding USB-powered speakers we've ever heard, and then some

Functional but Expensive : Yamaha NX-U10 Speakers

 

I've used a set of Yamaha speakers for many years on various computers and was keen to check out the company's latest portable speaker system.

Whether your music is stored on a notebook or MP3 player, there will always come a time when the audio output quality could become an issue. While a good set of headphones might suffice in some circumstances, this will not always be the case...

Yamaha - NX-U10

 

It's probably the most common complaint about laptops that no matter how much hard drive space you have, how stunning your graphics card or the power of your CPU, when it comes to sound quality it's ...

Just what laptop owners have been yearning for: a portable, powerful answer to their computer's paltry sound system, plus the bonus of linking to phones, MP3 players and iPods. It's not cheap, though.

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Inconsistent behavior

 

Depends on your needs: The USB driver performs flawlessly, but the unit exhibits some problems when using the auxillary audio input (maybe an impedance matching issue).

Compact size, elegant appearance, USB-power

Stops working if connected to an external audio cable that is too long (> 15ft in my case). Little rubber support on door is not very well secured in place

YAMAHA NX-U10BL 20 W 10 W x 2 (1 kHz, 10% THD) USB Powered Stereo Speaker- Black Finish - Retail

 

Excellent sound quality for its small size ; great for limited desktop space

High price

Consumer review (newegg.com)

nice

 

Would have liked an equalizer built into this, my Zen vision W doesn't have one and the bass response makes me turn the volume down to lose some distortion. With minor flaws, it's still worth the money. As always, newegg rocks ! ! !

Good sound. Loud enough to fill a large room

This unit is powered only, there is no amplifier by-pass. You have to be running USB-AC- or BATTERY power to get sound out of it. At high volume, 4 AAA batteries aren't enough to provide much playing time. Inserting the batteries is kind of pain to...
