It's Creative with speakers!

Advantages: Tiny, FM radio, voice recorder, speaker
Disadvantages: Quite some, read the review

...I never had a great respect for Creative?s audio quality, in a sense they are know to have at best ?above average? and normally ?average? audio quality. None of their audio products has ever reached, forget about over running, the standard set out by the best up there. This new Creative ZEN Stone Plus is no exception only that you get a speaker system, whose sound quality is not more than what you can expect from speaker so tiny, as a bonus and only that. The Upgrade to Creative Zen Stone plus, keeping the same price tag with upgraded accessories without charges. Providing silicon skin and detachable clip for the skin plus the standard ear-bud, instructions and of course the USB cable. I thought it was an inch from the Shuffle and Clip. The skin is a quality one providing openings for USB cable and the speaker. The new Zen Stone...

Review of Creative ZEN Stone with Speaker 2 GB

Small Speakers, Small Sound

Advantages: Small, lightweight, can be used with any mp3 player
Disadvantages: Sound quality isn't great - speakers not very powerful

...Introduction I previously posted a review for the Sanza Fuze mp3 player I bought for my daughter. Well, one of the joys of having a child is you buy them something and then they ask you for accessories, and this was no exception - I needed to get a wall charger separately and she also asked for speakers. Most of the content my daughter has on her mp3 player is on her laptop, for which I bought her high quality speakers that give her excellent sound quality, so when she asked for speakers I told her I was only going to get cheap portable ones rather than spend a lot of money on something that would merely duplicate what her laptop does. Choosing the Speakers My daughter isn't particularly fussy about sound quality, so she was happy to go along with this and I did a little research online in search of something that would fit...

Review of JVC SP-A220 Portable Speakers

All join in with the Chorus: UC200 stereo pedal from Behringer.

Advantages: Great Value for money, Solidly built,
Disadvantages: battery access is a bit fiddly

...Oh my God, I here you say, not another effects pedal review. Don't worry, there's only one more to go in my collection. As with the other pedals this one has a solid plastic moulding with a slightly awkward to open battery compartment, accessed by pushing in the pedal hinge pins and lifting it off. Much better to use an external power supply, it saves money and broken fingernails. So what does a Chorus pedal do? Well it sits in the line between the guitar and amplifier and alters the signal. Basically it is a modulating effect which adds a slight highlight and a lowlight, to create a softened, even slightly ethereal tone to the sound. There are four controls that allow you to adjust the effect, Level, Tone, Rate and Depth, an input jack and two outputs so that you can use two amplifiers to create stereo effects. The controls...

Get Connected to the STEREO MC's

Advantages: Good catchy tunes
Disadvantages: I can't find the disc

...I have liked the stereo Mc's for about a decade and had the album, but unfortunately due to my constant moving it got mislaid or lent out and forgotten. Anyhow I was recently asked if I would like a new album, after much deliberation I choose Connected. ***Band Members*** Rob, The Head, Owen If, Cath Coffey, Verona Davis and Andrea Groves. ***Front sleeve and inlay*** The front cover depicts the 6 band members on a stary, stormy night with the moon shining brightly behind them, with the earth looking like it should be the moon. The forground is a wild collection of plants, trees, flowers, mushrooms, a volcano and a snake The inlay has the lyrics to all 12 songs with white letters on a black background. ***Back Sleeve*** A black background with the playlist written on it in white, nice and simple ***Playlist...

Review of Connected - Stereo MC's

Great Speaker to Upgrade your Crappy Stereo System

Advantages: Very good sound for such a small & cheap speaker. Very dynamic & roomy.
Disadvantages: Just slightly too bright, no deep bass, no bi-wiring.

...Many of us have made the mistake once to buy a cheap Hi-Fi system at a bundle price anywhere around £300 to 500. Your audiophile needs soon outgrow the capabilities of your stereo, and it just won't sound as well anymore as in the dealer's showroom during Christmas sale. But your budget is tight, and you can't convince your wife to let you spend a month's salary on a new stereo system, only half a year after you bought the last one. The easiest and cheapest way to significantly improve your stereo is to buy a decent new pair of speakers, because that's usually the weakest link in cheap chains. You can most probably leave the rest as it is. Midi systems and entry-level separate components alike can usually do a proper job playing CDs and amplifying the signals to a reasonable output level without too many distortions. But building...

Speakers Corner - The Real Thing

Advantages: a British institution
Disadvantages: not as good as it used to be

...Does everybody who uses the words 'Speakers Corner' (from now on SC) know what they're talking about? That this is really a location: the north eastern corner of Hyde Park, near Marble Arch, London, UK? The words have left the location, aren't only the name of a place any more, they have become a term and are now used worldwide to describe . . . what actually? Certainly politicians in Singapore hadn't studied the subject closely when they decided to allow a SC on September 1, 2000. According to Reuters news agency: "The Singapore government announced it would launch the forum because it wanted greater public involvement, conducted in a 'mature, non-agitated way.'...Speakers must register for a permit and speeches may be recorded by the police . . . The police department said before the corner's opening that uniformed officers...

Review of Speakers' Corner, Hyde Park, London

-Philps desktop speakers-

Advantages: Includes mini amplifier and bass boost
Disadvantages: quite chunky

...I got these speaker is 2004 and they are still going strong. I have taken them on holiday, to school and they are now my computer speakers. They can be used about every where. Amazing peice of kit. ( been half way around the world) Hardley dented at all. Unlike normal computer speakers or portable speakers these include a small amplifier with the volume control and added "bass boost " controls. This is really great as the speakers can be on another shelf and the amplifier can be on your desk so you can control them without moving all the time. -The speakers- The speakers are really great quality and can deliver a vast range of tones easily. Although they are maybe just a little too big to be taken on holiday in hand luggage (they could be) they are still great. They are silver in colour and have light blue mesh over the speaker...

Review of Philips SBC BA250 Mini Speakers

Speakers which might do the job?

Advantages: Cheap, good sound
Disadvantages: reliability

...itself does the job, considering that only one is working, there quite loud! but i'd reccommend going for a different brand considering the reliability of these. They provide excellent sound for the price range, which is good news for a budget speaker set. I'd reccommend these to a potential buyer only if theres no other brand available in the price range. When you turn the speakers on, a lovely blue light comes on, to turn them on you turn the volume button which is located on the righthand side speaker, on the side in a very nice and easy to use location. When both speakers are working the volume is absolutely awesome, as you can have them booming very loud! But, hey even with one working, it's still loud enough! The stereo sound on these speakers is great, when placed on a hardsurface they do tend to vibrate a bit as they dont have...

Review of Hewlett-Packard PC multimedia speakers

Put Your Trust In These Speakers!

Advantages: Audio Quality, Price, Remote Control, Good Bass
Disadvantages: None Really.

...I had borrowed my fiancés expensive / 100 watt speakers for my computer in the living room whilst he used some small PC speakers and his headphones on his computer upstairs as we are partial to having guests over and it's nice to have decent speakers to play music on whilst they're here. I also like to have music on when we are doing housework as I feel that it makes it less of a chore when you have some music to keep you going. However, after a few months he asked for them back, and to be honest once I'd bought my new desk, there just wasn't enough room and they didn't match in terms of their style either. I was faced with a problem, in that I still wanted decent speakers that had a decent volume to them (without it being a problem for my neighbours of course, especially as one of those neighbours just happens to be my dad); but I...
