Hiya Squib - I mean external speakers that run via a USB and not mains plug in type.

I use the 'logitech pure anywhere' for my laptop but its rechargeable and mains not usb it is a great piece of kit ,and i use it for my ipod when camping etc. I would reckon their usb speakers to be good but haven't heard them myself.The only worry is that usb ones will flaten the battery even quicker..have you seen this site..

I have a set which is powered from USB and gets audio from the headphone socket. Not sure at the moment of gthe make - can let you know

been a while since i bought these but years ago i bought some branded as 'Nicole' that were USB powered, rather ropey for loud music but sounded OK in a hospital accomodation room, Logitech make some aswell, but again the sound quality gets ropey if you crank them up

Logitech V10 ~ about £20

How much do you want to spend? Most cheap ones are much the same, mind you these look good and cheap

LaCie make a lot of kit used in the AV industry

Thanks all - Eventually got these Microlab MD 123's from Maplins at what I think was a reasonable 18 quid down from 25 (sorry, my pound sign doesn't work )

They come with a mains power source as well as USB connection which is nice and also the sound when on full whack can be a little bit ear splitting :shock: Rather impressed I must say

Thanks all
