Genius SP-i200U

At under £20 pounds though, they're probably worth it if you're a laptop music lover.

Very nice piece

If the exposed drivers bother you there is an easy fix for that. Get a sock and cut out a couple of three inch lengths and slip them over the speakers. If you pick a stylish sock it will look good. There, you can be a modder.

It will play at a pretty high volume without a lot of distortion. Comes with both home and auto power supplies as well as the option to use batteries

Speakers are exposed which seems a rather odd design for an item that is portable. The included patch cord is rather short but you can get any length you need at your local shack if that is a problem

yoda speakers

After checking out 4 other portable speaker models, these are the only ones worth buying.

These little guys pack a serious punch! Don't let their appearance fool you, these speakers can actually get really loud and entertain a large room of chatty people. I find myself having to turn it DOWN sometimes, unprecedented in the ultra portable...

It drains through my rechargeable batteries very quickly, but that is probably a design necessity, or maybe its just my CVS brand batteries! If you are using these on a camping trip or something make sure you bring alot of extra batteries. The only way...

Genius SP- i200 6 watts Black Portable Speaker

Please mention the same limitation in the website, so the customers need not waste time and money for shipping back and forth.

Looks good and small

It could only be used in USA. The same AC power adaptor can not be used outside USA (you may have to buy separate adaptors)

Awesome

I have not tested durability because it just sits at work with me all day but the unit does feel pretty heavy (even without batteries) and fairly solid. The tilt-able controls base doesn't feel like it's held together with cheap parts either. If you're...

For what you are paying, there is no better small form portable speaker set out there. I love this thing. Very good and big sound for a unit this small. Can be either powered or run on batteries (battery life is good at low to medium volumes, decent...

Worth the $18 + shipping

Bought these to replace $5 foldable speakers. I work in a kitchen...so It is very easy for me to bust out the ipod with these speakers when I am prepping...I don't have to carry around an ipod dock station or some large speakers. If only the bass was...

Fits in pocket ; Soft carrying pouch ; Solid ; Great sound for size ; portability portability portability

To be a perfect product, the bass could be a tiny bit stronger, and there should be some way to cover the exposed speakers when not in use ; doesn't bother me though

Better than expected

For $20, it was a good investment. Mostly used as an office speaker at work w/ the Creative Zen.

Looks and sounds better than I thought it would. Easy to carry around. Uses batteries or AC adapter

Wish the AC adapter fit into the carrying pouch

Sound Good

Worth it.

They sound good for small speakers. If you don't want to spend a lot and want something small, this is a good deal. I was surprised and I have some higher end audio equipment. Great for what they are

As other have said the stubby audio cable isn't cool. I had a longer one laying around though so no problem for me

More than expected

This is a great set of speakers for going somewhere that doesn't have ready electricity. The speakers will easily work for a laptop system to provide good noise to a small group.

Small-ish, study feel and easy to take out and put away. The sound is very good for what it is - an inexpensive, USB-powered speaker. Really great for what it is. Would love a scenario that I could recommend it to others. Personally, I use it because I...

Very little bass - but what do you expect
