Philips SPA3210/27

$30.00 Released May, 2010

The Pros:Sound quality is good for this price, comparable to 2-channel speakers in higher price brackets. Bass boost mode provides improved bass clarity over similar models without this feature. Highly portable and compact form factor allows these to be set up almost anywhere.

The Cons:Maximum volume seems to top out too low, not as loud as competitors' models. Casing leaves many components exposed and vulnerable to outside damage, limited to indoor use. Certain parts of the construction are vulnerable to damage, e.g. connections to rears of speakers.

The Philips SPA3210/27 is a 2.0-channel audio system designed for laptops and notebooks. Unlike the entry-level SPA2210/27, the SPA3210/27 offers some potential for pass, as it uses a bass-reflex system with two 2” bass-radiators per speaker.

Philips SPA3210 2.0 Speaker System - 5 W RMS by PriceGrabber.com

The result is a total 10W output with greater bass and treble, though it’s not much compared to a high-powered system. Like its counterpart, the unit accepts power from a USB interface and audio from a stereo jack. Users say they function well for privately listening to music and for work-related situations. However, they’re not recommended for a party.

Who cares about outside parts that are vulnerable, I mean come on guys you're not gonna have a dinner with'em right? ) This are 10 Watt power speakers, no competitor has the same power at this price.
