USB Laptop speakers

[Lynn]

I need to source USB laptop speakers for a work colleague - mainly to play short DVDs to small groups (18-25 people) as part of training sessions.

I have Logitech V20 speakers which I have tried with my colleague's laptop and they seem to work well. They come in a sturdy carrying case which is useful as we have a lot of other equipment to bring to the training sessions. Just wanted to check before I get them for work, if anyone has any other recommendations?

I highly recommend these :-http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronics/4-/9623066/X-Mi-X-Mini-II-2nd-Generation-Capsule-iPod-MP3-Speaker/Product.html

One is enough but 2 does sound a little better Also has about 10 hours battery life

Lynn,

I think that Lory's speakers (as mentioned by CJ) were a different model of the ones knightengale mentions. I think Lory's were from Amazon and were a stereo version but with slightly worse battery life.

Thanks, but don't think they want ones that run off battery anyway - they want ones that run off USB from laptop. Think I'll prob go with the logitech ones - they seem to give a loud and clear enough volume.

I know you've probably made your mind up now but just in case your still umming and erring, the ones I made the video of ( you can see on FB) run for 11 hours on Battery but 'recharge' and work via a USB as well

I'm not on commission BTW

Hmm.. wouldn't mind a set of these myself!

If I do decide to get them I could then bring them into work for colleague to see...

Lory, I'm a bit confused by something I saw in a review - is it possible to run these off the USB while listening to a eg a DVD playback from the laptop - at the same time - ie playing and charging?

They are really cute!

a usb connection carries power and data at the same time - but you obviously use the power to play, so it may not charge when playing but it won't discharge either. At least in theory - it depends on the device in question and how much power it needs and how much it actually gets (although the latter should be fairly fixed).

see here for info

Honest answer... I don't know

Yeah i have them, If you plug them in through USB you can ether run the sound through the USB cable (if the laptop / PC allows that) or just plug the speaker cable into the headphone port of the machine

You can also put more than one together to get better (although not needed) sound

Thanks.

Its a set of two anyway, isn't it, so do you mean using 4 speakers?

The one i posted (the link to play.com) is only 1 speaker. Although the sound quailty is really good that you don't 'need' a second / 3rd one etc.

I actually bought one and found it so good i got a second one so i could keep one in the car for ipod etc when out walking etc and one for my netbook.

And i plug them together if i want to watch something on the laptop.
