Re: USB speakers versus internal laptops?
Logitech make something else in that line which is supposed to sound very reasonable though the Z300 I think it is isn’t computer speakers as such rather its a speaker block so separation may not be all that good but its a very expensive proposition, well over $200 Australian when I last looked. Still it is small, easy to put into a laptop carry bag and so on. > On 26 Jan 2016, at 1:00 AM, hamitcampos wrote: > > Ah okay.

Re: USB speakers versus internal laptops?
Yes, they’re different given the fact that they’re not taking power from the computer itself rather from a separate power supply as you say. This of course has its advantages, the main and obvious one being that the speakers can afford to have more power behind them. > On 26 Jan 2016, at 12:22 AM, Hamit Campos wrote: > > My answer is no.

Re: USB speakers versus internal laptops?
Hi! Its assumed of course that with a Laptop you probably won’t want something too powerful. Logitech has - or perhaps more accurately had - a set of USB powered speakers which I thought provided extremely good value for money when it came to the performance and sound and the price of $25. These were not your Hi-FI speakers but they certainly could be easily heard at a desktop or table and in a small work room. They used D class amplification so very little power was used. If you have a Laptop or even perhaps an Android device with a USB port then these speakers may very well be worth a consideration, they certainly sound better than all the laptop speakers I’ve ever heard and are damn right excellent if you do a lot of work with your Screen Reader and you need reasonable audio for those wonderful speech synthesisers you’ve bought from the likes of Akapella etc. Excellent for those Internet Radio Broadcasts too. I bought half a dozen pairs at the time. And yes to the controls which are about as simple as you can get, 3 buttons on the right speaker are volume down, bute in the middle and volume up on the right. > On 25 Jan 2016, at 4:18 PM, Austin Pinto > wrote: > > no. > but it depends on which speaker you use and what are the features. > like if you use a 2.1 channel speaker the requirements will be a bit > hire then if you use a 2 channel speaker > > On 1/25/16, Adam Morris wrote: >> Hi all, >> >> for those who use or have used USB powered speakers do they drain your >> laptop's battery much more than the internal speakers? >> >> > > > -- > search for me on facebook, google+, orkut.. > austinpinto.xavi...@gmail.com > follow me on twitter. > austinmpinto > contact me on skype. > austin.pinto3 > ** Those of a positive and enquiring frame of mind will leave the rest of the halfwits in this world behind.
Re: USB speakers versus internal laptops?
no. but it depends on which speaker you use and what are the features. like if you use a 2.1 channel speaker the requirements will be a bit hire then if you use a 2 channel speaker On 1/25/16, Adam Morris wrote: > Hi all, > > for those who use or have used USB powered speakers do they drain your > laptop's battery much more than the internal speakers? > > -- search for me on facebook, google+, orkut.. austinpinto.xavi...@gmail.com follow me on twitter. austinmpinto contact me on skype. austin.pinto3

Re: USB Speakers?
High once again Dock, I built for my computer, a pare of speakers that uses a pare of S5 Electronic tube amps. Even though they have their own power supply, I rigged up a power outlet with a power switch so that I can turn them off and on at the same time. But this way, each speaker has its own volume control. These sound a whole lot better then a lot of computer speakers I've heard. But these USB speakers, I just saw them but never heard them. They were hooked up to a E Machine computer that was running Vista. I wanted the lady to play some music on this system for me. But when she was about too, she got called away. Your guess is as good as mine about these USB speakers, and what they sound like.

Re: USB Speakers?
I use my USB speakers with my Macbook Pro which is a notebook and theyr'e perfectly suited to that as I don't need a lot of power for the Notebook, the situation is bets explained if I said that the internal speakers of the Macbook, (whilst they're fine for speech) don't really cut it when it comes to music.

I have a pair that came with my Dell desktop. I find them good for synthesizer speech and better than you would expect for their size when handling music with deep bass. I could see using them when editing recordings but for myselfI don't reccomend them as my primary listening. - Original Message - From: "DJ DOCTOR P" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

Re: USB Speakers?
Yes exactly, I have a pair here which i use with Itunes on the Mac, you plug em in and Itunes can take total control of them, they're actually classed as a Sound Device on my Mac at any rate and I'd assume the same thing for windows so you can select that sound device as a default audio output for Windows for example.

Re: USB Speakers?
If they plug in to the 1/8 jack then they aren't true USB speakers. True USB speakers get the audio through the USB connection as well as the power and don't plug into the 1/8 jack.

I saw for the very first time a pare of speakers that gets their power from a USB port on your computer. But however, you still have to plug them in to the 1-8th inch line out jack on your sound card. Again, I've never seen anything like this before. If any of you have a pare of these, can you please give me some insight to how good these speakers really are? Thanks. John.
