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.

Average sound.......2007-03-22
Unless your laptop's soundcard is not working, or your speakers are barely hearable I wouldn't recommend this. Odds are your laptop does as much as these speakers.
It is well built, looks resistant and it does a decent job. Do not expect very good quality.
Like it so much bought it for a friend........2007-03-08
I like the sound of mine so much I bought one fo my friend for his birthday. It's not super loud but you can listen to music from your mac, with good quality. Just plug it into your USB port. My friend loves his too. He uses his all the time. Great for travel.
Works perfectly........2007-01-30
Speakers quit working on my laptop and needed something decent and easy - and this is better than that. Good quality considering size and price.
Lots of power in a small package.......2007-01-19
I really thought the reviews for this item were probably a little over-blown, but the speakers have proven me wrong. As someone who primarily uses their laptop on the go, I have been looking for a set of small, easily transportable, decent sounding speakers. These fit into all three categories. I am pleasantly surprised by the fullness of the sound that they put out. If you're strictly an audiophile, you'd be better off investing in a good set of Bose headphones, but if you need something to quickly and efficeintly plug and play so other people can hear what is on your laptop, then you won't find a better buy for your money.
Cool!.......2007-01-13
It was a gift to my daughter and she was thrilled! We were all amazed at
the "out of the box" design and think that the folks at JLab need to expand and create a whole lot of new "out of the box" stuff to make life
easier and more efficient! And, the speaker sounds GREAT!

Not worth it.......2007-09-21
Let me start off saying that these may work fine with a 5.1 soundcard on a PC, but they do not work with a MAC like it is said. There is no indication as to what these use for hookups. They do not include optical, and the only way to use them with my Macbook Pro was as regular headphones, or do the simulated 5.1 sound. I tried both and could not tell the difference. The one thing I did notice is that when using the simulated 5.1 the most I could hear was static and clicking.
Very disappointing, but I guess if you want good surround sound you should go with a real system.
Fine Quality at a Modest Price.......2007-08-30
These headphones - OK, not Bose, but I can't afford Bose! These Kinyo phones are a really fine deal for the money. They afford very nice
sound and are convenient and comfortable. Once you put them on, they
seat comfortably and do not shift. The portion surrounding the ear
is soft and you pretty much forget you have the headphones on.
I gave it a 5 but give 4 .......2007-07-08
The reason is that there great i love them but dont get me wrong they do what there meant to do. I cant figure out how to use the DTS with them but it aint that important right now, my concern is that my amp that it came with has burnt out but i did contact manufactuer to resolve this problem. So i recommend this product for those who want to enjoy last night viewing of dvds or playing videogames like my self. Which i bought to use with my Xbox 360.
Make sure you have the proper inputs before ordering these headphones!.......2007-05-10
I'm afraid I cannot judge the 5.1 surround sound capabilities of
these headphones, as my DVD player does not seem to have the inputs
required by the product. The package includes a six-plug-to-three-plug
connection cable. The six-plug end is divided into 3 pairs (for front,
rear, and center/subwoofer inputs), and the 3-plug end plugs into the
amplifier for the headphones.
For what it's worth, the phones are very comfortable, and the stereo
sound is excellent, but I couldn't audit the 5.1 sound. Please make
sure you have the right connectors before ordering these.
Cheap Gaming headphones with all the right moves.......2007-03-02
A lot of people say they hear a white noise in the backround...well I do to and to be honest it really doesn't get in the way of your gaming at all once you have the volume up.
The two things that amazed me were the awesome sound and bass (when I blow something up in a game it shakes my head) and the other awesome feature is that it comes with all the gear so that if you already have a speaker setup for surround sound you can connect both the headphones and the speakers at the same time from up front and you probably wont even have to go behind your computer to do it - i dont understand why other headsets dont use this feature.
A must have at the $$ for gaming!
