Notebooks/netbooks are not known for having the best audio capabilities. One solution to that is to add on a set of external speakers which is not always feasible for users on the go. OCC checks out a new product that aims to solve that issue: Diamond XSTU21 Sound Tube & MSP100B Mini Rockers Mobile Speakers - http://www.overclock...xstu21_msp100b/

Those videos do seem to have me sold you know ... I saw these at CES and never believed they would be any good, but it looks like I'm wrong again. Good effort ajmatson

I was given a set at CES as a gift and man do they pack a punch. D3 and I got alot of use out of them at CES compared to my laptop speakers these are in another league.
What I really like about them is they are so small and you can use one speaker only if need be. Anyone looking for a small set of speakers this is a set to check out for sure.

They were good speakers... like Dave said, we put them to good use at CES. Though, they felt a bit cheap to me... and what ever you do, do not "push in" on the center of the grill... the only thing that will happen, is the grill breaks.
