I bought these
speakers so that I can easily listen to music of my own choice (ipod
hook-up) at work and when traveling. This device is great
because it doesn't require an external electric hook up and is
so compact that I can actually fit it in my purse. The 4 AA
batteries it takes actually last quite a while as well. A friend
of mine has the Bose speakers and the Bose speakers' sound
quality is phenomenal but this speaker quality is very good as
well at less than half the price. If you are particular about
very high quality sound, though, these might not be for you.

I just bought this
to use instead of the crummy built-in speakers in my notebook
computer, and what a great improvement! When you turn it up,
and it gets pretty loud before it starts to distort, there's
quite a bit of bass. You can really feel the case vibrate. Also,
the imaging is quite good. Very convenient case is a bit larger
than a double-CD case.

Pros:
- Quite compact; as someone else said, it fits in my purse. If
you are using it for your laptop it would easily fit in a laptop
carrying case as well, since they usually have extra pouches.
- Durable! Despite the fact that they're made out of plastic,
the overall shape makes them harder to break.
- Little energy needed. At first I was annoyed that it could be
powered ONLY by batteries and not by a cord, but after using
them for awhile I realized a power cord would be more than
necessary. I just recently changed the batteries for these
speakers, and I've had them for over a year.
- Decent sound. Considering the build you wouldn't expect much
from these, but they can get pretty loud and there's very little
distortion.
Cons:
- High price. Unless you are buying these used (which you
probably should), $60 is a lot to ask for these.
- No place to put the cord. With such a compact design, you'd
expect that there would be some convenient place to put the cord
when you aren't using them.
Summary:
Great speakers for travelling and at the office; but probably
not worth the price unless you are buying them used.
