There are thousands of portable speaker systems out there and pretty much any gadget manufacturer has issued out at least one or two models. Philips is no exception to the rule, as it has recently presented its newest item in the world of miniature speakers, in the body of a speaker set with very nifty looks and, hopefully, at least decent sound reproduction. These USB speakers come with a major advantage: you can use them with batteries, but if you run out of power, hooking them to one of your computer's USB ports will have things up and running once more in just a blink of an eye.

 

 

These little pieces of gadgetry come with a carefully shaped design that makes them easy to be carried around, stored in your handbag or backpack, and even in your laptop bag, if need be.

 

These speakers will come in quite handy in those situations where you just have to listen to some track from your laptop but those small drivers aren't capable of producing enough bang. And instead of passing the headphones from one listener to another (which isn't cool at all, in fact), all you have to do is hook up the Philips Portable USB Speakers to the audio output and enjoy their wide and defined sound.

 

You'll surely enjoy the cable management system of the Philips Portable USB Speakers: it not only allows you to store the cables in a neat and orderly manner, making clutters and knots a thing of the past, but it also provides enough cable length to allow you to place the two speakers further apart, thus enhancing the stereo separation and the overall sound stage of your audio. Of course, you can use the Philips Portable USB Speakers with your computer, gaming console, iPod or any other MP3 player, for maximum comfort and convenience.

 

Finally, we should add that the Philips Portable USB Speakers look a bit (just a tiny bit) uncommon, at least as far as their siblings are concerned: the grille has some large perforations that make it look more like an old phone receiver than a modern speaker set. Nevertheless, this does not diminish the “cool factor” of the Philips Portable USB Speakers; and if you liked them, you'll surely be happy to know that they're only $18.85.
