"... As expected for a 2.0 set of speakers, bass-heavy music didn’t sound nearly as thumping and deep as on a quality 2.1 set. The bass sounded boomy but unfocussed. Vocals in pop tracks sounded reasonably clear, but backing instruments in pop and rock tracks can sound muddy. This lack of detail was especially noticeable in orchestral and electronic music, where string instruments and subtle electronic tones sounded flat and indistinct. ... An attractive set of portable speakers with an integrated USB sound card, but we expect consistently good sound quality at this price."

"Pros: Decent sound quality, well balanced, good mid-range and treble, little distortion at high volume, reasonably priced. Cons: Poor frustrating design is barely user friendly and distracts from the obvious sound benefits."

"If you are after strange looking but good sounding speakers then pick up the LaCie Sound2 system. They don't cost too much and they'll be a great conversation starter."
