One Unit, One Wire, 'One' Sound.......2007-10-21
I heard about this unit from a Home Theater newsletter of all places. The reviewer just had to share this item with those of us concerned about the quality of sound.
While it does not produce the sound that can be had from a good pair of separate PC speakers, it also does not take up the space nor the wiring menagerie either.
That said, the sound is actually quite nice when you are in its 'zone' of listening. The bass is really surprisingly rich considering that the center bass diaphragm is only 5"x1" in size.
I can carry it easily with my PowerBook and only need to plug in a single USB cable to power it and feed it stereo sound. In iTunes I set the Equalizer tool to use the "Loudness" setting to get what I consider the best sound from it (some really low bass will distort so I drop the lowest equalizer slide switch about 4dB).
By the way, it also amplifies cell phones, portable DVD players and the like via the supplied power cable and 1/8th inch jack.
Best portable speaker I've seen.......2007-09-25
I've had the speakers for about a week now and have tried all three power options: USB, A/C, and batteries. I haven't used them on batteries long enough to know how long the batteries will last (it takes 4 AAA batteries).
Sound - You have plenty of volume, even on battery power. Bass is better than most speakers this size, but volume much over 60% or so starts some mild distortion. The volume and quality are much better than built-in speakers though. The target market for these speakers is laptop portability and for that they are wonderful. The single unit, although somewhat large (about 9" long), easily packs away in my notebook's case. Setup is simple and sound quite good for a hotel room or other confined area (which is usually where you'd use them anyway).
Included items - Everything you need is included except batteries. You get an A/C adapter, a battery cradle (plugs in nicely to the power bay when you want to use battery power and is easily removable when you do not), a usb cable, a cloth bag, a patch cable for your mp3 player, and the unit itself. Everything is compact, quality is good, and setup takes only a couple of minutes.
The unit itself has a cover over the power bay that opens up and doubles as a stand. It even comes with a tiny rubber foot to keep the unit from slipping when set up (and they give you a couple extras too). You either have the unit plugged in (either to the laptop usb port or, using the same cable, to an A/C outlet) or have the battery cradle installed. There is a volume control, an on/off button, and a jack for aux input on the unit.
I connected my Archos 604 personal media player, played a video, and the sound was great. It works well in a hotel or other small room where you want to listen or view but don't want to use headphones. The benefit is that you can use the speakers completely independently of the computer if you want to plug in a media player.
The price could be better but it's still a new item and I would anticipate that, like everything else, the price will eventually drop. Still, I consider it money well spent so far.
Just what the doctor ordered!.......2007-09-20
I've had this speaker for a couple of weeks now and it is everything they say it is. When I travel with my laptop I use it to watch DVDs and listen to my music collection and it sounds great - way better than any other portable speakers I've tried. The sound is good but what's also great about this Yamaha speaker is the three-way power options. Plug it into the wall, use batteries, or runs off your USB power while hooked to your PC playing your tunes. I haven't used the battery option much so I can't comment on the battery life but, I suspect it is not great since the speaker puts out 20-watts. I don't think you can find a better sounding speaker with these power options for less. (If you can - let me know...please!)

FEATURES- USB Powered Stereo Speaker- Silver finish
Plug and play for dynamic sound where and when you want it. The most
powerful portable USB powered speaker for your home or office.
A speaker that plugs into your computer's USB port is really
convenient. But ordinary USB speakers can t deliver much power:
only 0.5W x 2. Yamaha solves that problem with the NX-U10. It can
output max. 10W x 2 -- 20 times as much power! Your music will
sound great, and you can even use it for business presentations in
large rooms.
Along with the expansive power, you get strong, rich bass. The
NX-U10 includes SR-Bass (Swing Radiator Bass) technology, so music,
games and even movies sound just as dynamic as they are supposed
to.
Connecting the NX-U10 to your laptop or other computer is quick and
easy. You only use one USB cable -- no need for a power cord. Or
you can power it from an AC outlet or four AAA batteries. It also
has a stereo mini jack, so you can plug in your iPod, game console
or other portable device to enjoy bigger, better sound.
Includes Speaker Unit, Carrying case, USB/AC adapter, Battery holder,
USB cable (1m), 3.5mm Stereo mini cable, Non-skid pad (x2).
