Terrific Little Speaker with Clear, Strong Sound.......2007-09-07
After reading several dozen consumer reviews describing laptop speakers I puchased this one. You simply plug it into your laptop, or USB hub, swivel the gooseneck to position the speaker where you want, and you've got an excellent speaker that fits in a small laptop utility bag.
The only complaint I have is that there is no quick volume control; once you've plugged it into your USB port, it overrides the laptop's volume control "knob". You have to open the volume icon in your Control Panel every time you want to adjust the speaker volume, which can be too slow when you're being blasted by a loud video.
This is not to say that there is anything wrong with the volume modulation in the speaker itself, just that there seems to be a wide volume range across items I view--YouTube, email messages with videos from friends, etc.
If this speaker had a volume control knob it would be perfect!
NOT RECOMMENDED FOR DELL LAPTOPS.......2007-09-02
After several weeks of light, mid-volume use, the speaker stopped working on my Dell Latitude D500 and I began receiving error messages noting a "device malfunction". After trading emails with J-Lab customer service, I was instructed to return the speaker by mail (at my expense) for a refund. The refund I received was 80% of the original purchase price because, according to J-Lab, the device was still "working" upon receipt. The representative handling the return acknowledged that there has, in fact, been a history of compatibility issues with Dell laptops-- in other words, a "working" speaker may not always operate correctly when connected to a Dell laptop. Is trying this speaker on your Dell worth the risk of paying two sets of shipping charges, losing 20% of the purchase price, and spending time emailing representatives and repacking/mailing the device? If not, maybe it's worth considering alternatives.
Are we listening to the same speakers?.......2007-08-08
We bought this speaker for our Gateway M505 Media Laptop on a recent trip. The M505 has reasonable speakers for a laptop, but their volume level isn't quite strong enough for us to be happy--we'd always find ourselves straining to hear dialogue from movies.
From reading the reviews I honestly thought this would solve our problem in a nifty self-contained USB-powered fashion.
For us it didn't.
We found the speakers to be nearly identical to the M505 speakers, and while the B-Flex did give us the tiniest improvement in volume, it wasn't enough to really give us adequate volume, or the "big sound" many reviewers have mentioned. Also, there is no way a speaker the size of these can give the kind of frequency response any level of audiophile would be happy with.
So, who should try out this speaker? If you have standard tinny sounding laptop speakers (the almost nonexistent kind), these will be a big improvement. Also you will like the fact that it is USB powered so no batteries, no cords are needed.
However, having said that, I really think the bottom line is, to get truly better sound, you need to use a powered speaker. I think some of the JBL's may be the way to go.
For cost of these guys, unless you catch them on sale, my advice is to keep looking. We had to return ours. (Thanks to Amazon a really fair & generous return policy).
Definite improvement over stock, and extremely portable.......2007-07-08
My boyfriend bought me this speaker. It is plug-and-play. On my computer, often movies are not loud enough for some reason and with this speaker it's as loud as we could possibly want. Also I can blast my music throughout the house from my laptop - before I could not because it sounded horrible at high volumes.
I'm not much of a sound expert, but I think it sounds pretty good.

Great portable drive.......2007-10-31
The Lexar Jumpdrive is one of the best portable drive I have owned and I never had trouble with it.
The best flash drive I've used........2006-04-25
Pros: It's sturdy. No lie, I just washed and dried mine, without cap, in a campus washer and dryer and it's plugged into my computer and there are no visible or "usability" effects.
The security software is very usable and the encryption software works on files not on the drive.
Cons: To my knowledge, there is no way to auto-load the security software, which can be an annoyance.
If you need a drive with security software, this is a great choice.
256 MB JumpDrive Secure II.......2006-03-15
I use this jump drive every day at school. I have all of my class stuff, the ZSNES Super Nintendo Emulator, Games, and the USB version of the Opera web browser on it and it's only a little over 25% full. I have the cap connected to my keychain, so it makes it harder to forget. It's pretty scuffed up from being ground against and thrown around with my keys all day, but it continues to work fine.

Good Jober.......2007-08-24
This great little tot serves me in several ways. I use it a work with out-of-date computers using Win 98, and with the downloadable driver, and can easily transfer from home on my Vista and Win XP. I don't know if the 1G or larger Lexar is a Firefly or will work or not, but I cannot use the SanDisk or Toshiba 1G flash (nor find a Win 98 driver for them). But for what I do, even backing up the 75MGs of office files and leaving that little Firefly at work in case the old Win 98 crashes again, the Firefly is neat and most usuful, as it can back up my 10 office directories of about 75MGs in about 10 minutes at work, where it used take several hours on the ten floppies -- gosh, that is a savings. Lastly, as you can see in the picture, the clip part that goes on your key chain STAYS on the key chain, so you can leave the Firefly in the computer and still use your keys, unlike the others. With most, you have to leave your keys attached and/or even lose the cover (though such could be safer). But at 12-14 bucks, and when transfering non-critical and convenince files, it is nice to leave it where you put it and NOT have your key chain attached.

Customer Reviews:
Very cool!.......2003-09-30
This little thing works excatly like a floppy disc or CD-RW. When you plug it in, an F: drive is instantly created and opened. You can store any type of file - just like with CDs. The files are transfered much faster than floppys or CDs, though. If you have songs or word documents saved, you don't need to copy them to the hard drive to open or play them - they'll play right of the jumpdrive.
This thing is cool. I keep it on my keychain - it's not much larger or heavier than a carkey - and take it everywhere. If I'm at a friends house and he has a cool picture that he's taken, I can instantly get a copy for myself. Or I can save songs, and play them on someone else's computer. If you use more than one computer, this is even better. You can save things you're wroking on to this drive, and then have access to them wherever you go. Or, if you share a computer, this is sweet, to. You don't have to store your documents where anyone can find them - you can keep them on your keychain.
Which leads to the next point. You can password-protect a certain portion of the space on your jumpdrive - you choose how do divide the private and public sections.
So in conclusion, this thing is cool.

A great way to effortlessy transfer files between multi-OS'!.......2004-07-28
I never thought this Jumpdrive would be so cool to own! I am glad I finally own one! Not only is it a great backup (OUTSIDE of the computer), it's a perfect way to take files with you on the road, bring files or images to a friend's house, work, etc, or transfer images in the SAME ROOM! How can you email 250MB? It'd take forever. I just put all the files/images on the drive, hand it over, and they have the files instantly. It's an attractive storage device too. I wouldn't pay $60-70 for this item, I got it on ebay for $39 brand new. So far it looks durable, effective, & easy-to-use. I'm happy!
No matter what OS you're in, it'll work fine. I am using Win XP and put some images on the JumpDrive and handed it to my husband who uses Mandrake Linux and he plugged it in his USB port and the files showed up instantly. No drivers, installation, or B.S. JUST WORKED!
And this is USB 2.0 so it's fast. Even copying files over in 1.1 mode was quick. When I look at available space on the drive it says there's 245MB possible. So the drivers took about 11MB of space. No big deal, if I need every MB, I would have gotten the 512MB, but in my opinion this is a perfect amt. of storage for me, for now.
I've lost many files and images over the years (almost lost our wedding pictures, OMG!!), it won't happen again!!! Thanks to this Jumpdrive, and my DVD/RW.
Enjoy!
Better options available, but not a bad purchase.......2004-06-08
The 256MB 2.0 Jump/Flash Drive from Lexar Media certainly gets the job done, however I wouldn't advise spending more than $60 on it. It has no password protect feature, and, depending on how old the model you are looking at is, some don't even have a write-protect feature. This model comes with drivers that automatically download when you first plug it in, however formatting is not automatic, plus, you will have to download seperate drivers off the internet if you are a Windows 98 user. The supplied drivers take up a little more than 11MB, so the capacity of the drive is actually in the range of 244MB, but that should suit most people fine. It's not a bad item, but I advise you to look around before making your purchase.
