Advantages: Packs a punch

Disadvantages: Hums when volume is cranked, and hisses with earphones plugged in

I've had these for a couple of years - have used it for my personal CD player and my brother has used it for his laptop computer. I am currently using this for my desktop computer, and I have this running from the mains (can also run on 6 AA batteries). Not the loudest, which is understandable considering the size which, whilst small, is not what I could call mini. A stylish silver with blue set consisting of two speakers and an amp, the sound quality is good, with a cutting edge to it but there is also a bass boost to fill in at the low end with a dial to adjust the level of bass. However, hum is noticeable as the volume is cranked to the higher end of its range, but for casual listening it is well sufficient. Unfortunately, hiss is easily evident with earphones plugged in, which is a shame for when I have to do some recording.
