USB Computer Speakers for Portable and Desktop Use

Enjoy full range compact stereo sound on your laptop - or consolidate a tangle of wires at your desktop with USB bus-powered stereo computer speakers. These self-powered speakers get both pure digital audio via USB AND power from the 5 volts that a USB bus port provides - All from a SINGLE USB cable.

For travel, there are innovative 1-piece USB computer speakers can provide room-filling sound in a compact form factor that easily fits in a laptop carry case. Other speaker designs snap apart for 2-piece wide stereo separation for music listening enjoyment.

When choosing a set of portable USB audio speakers: read reviews, look for quality drivers with good sensitivity and broad frequency response. USB speakers typically produce between 1.5 to 3 watts of audio power -- the limit imposed by the mere 5 volt source a USB port provides. But well engineered speaker drivers like those used by qualiity speaker manufacturers like Logitech, Creative Labs and Tritton are engineered to produce great, room-filling sound within USB's limits.

Some USB speakers, designed more for desktop computing use may use an optional battery or AC power for higher wattage output sufficient to drive a subwoofer in a 2.1 speaker system - and provide full range frequency response with great bass.

Hear what you're missing! Explore USB speakers as an alternative to the often disappointing tinny speakers built-into most laptop computers - or the single monophonic speaker buried inside many tower computer cases.
