USB POWERED COMPUTER SPEAKERS FOR NETBOOKS

Most traditional laptops have abysmal built-in audio. And the smaller form factor of a tiny Netbook leaves even less room for adequately sized audio drivers. Any of the USB speaker systems shown below provide a huge step-up in sound quality. These compact and small external travel speakers are compatible with any Netbook or Ultrabook laptop. A few are small enough to slip into your Netbook's carry-case with room to spare. Enjoy higher volume levels and wider frequency response that your netbook computer's built-in speakers can't even begin to match.

2-Piece Stereo Systems For NetBooks

When you want or need to widen the stereo sound field - or get larger, more full range drivers involved: 2-Piece speaker systems fit the bill. Some have dual driver cones in each speaker, some use a second, often larger passive-radiator to generate more volume and bass.

Another single-cable solution that sounds REALLY GOOD: Logitech V20 Notebook Speakers features a 50mm Active driver - and a 75mm High-Excursion Passive Radiator cone to enhance low-end frequency response: Logitech's specs state down to 70Hz low frequencies. Although Logitech offers a more compact V10 Series, their sound quality doesn't match the V20. Comes with travel case.
