If you own a portable computer then this article is intended for you, but the information which I am going to provide here can be used in the case of the regular computers as well. If you own a portable computer I am certain that one of the aspects that you are disappointed with, are the speakers. The portable computers have internal speakers which are able to provide the sound but the quality is very weak. If you would like to be able to hear the sound in its fullest quality and clarity, then the best choice would be to buy some speakers. Since the portable computer is not attached to anything, I am certain that you would like the speakers to be built in the same manner, and because of that you would like to buy wireless computer speakers.



First of all in order to be able to use the wireless computer speakers you would need whether a Bluetooth connection, or a USB one, otherwise the speakers will not work. These wireless speakers will be powered by batteries which would require change once in a while but that will not be such a big issue. The price is important when choosing these speakers, because as you can imagine, the cheapest ones will not be as good as the more expensive ones. I am not saying to go an buy the ones which are the most expensive, but you should not get cheap either otherwise you will regret it.

There are various advantages that come with using the wireless computer speakers. First of all, these wireless speakers allow a greater flexibility in positioning. Since the speakers are wireless you can place them anywhere you like as long as they are in the room where the computer is located. You no longer have to worry about wires and other similar inconveniences. The connectivity is much better when using the wireless speakers. Like I said, you will only need a USB port, which is present in all the computers, or a Bluetooth connection. You will not have to worry about which Jack goes in which plug and so on.



A great aspect regarding the freedom of placing the speakers wherever you want is the fact that you can place them in such a manner in which you would construct a mini-surround system. If you place them in such position, the process of watching movies, or playing games, and so on will be enhanced, and the experience will be much more enjoyable. The most important aspect is the lack of wires and cables, which will make the desk or the working space look much more organized, and professional. It will help you with your work as well.

The computer technologies really advanced in the last decades, and today we can find very small and light computers  (the notebooks ) that are also very powerful and capable of doing advanced tasks. Along with the evolution of the computer, all of its components advanced too. For example the monitors got thinner and thinner, the video cards got more and more advanced, the hard drives became bigger, the mice and keyboards can be wireless and so on.



And it’s the same with the computer speakers. Not only that some models are really small, and also powerful and capable of giving a good sound but some speakers are now wireless. So you don’t have to worry anymore about the length of the audio cable, and you can place the speakers anywhere you want in the room and be sure that you have the best sound possible. But you can go even further and place the speakers in other rooms of your house.

When buying some wireless speakers they will come with a transmitter, which has to stay near the computer. Every transmitter has a specific range (for example 100 feet) and you will have to keep the speakers into that range. So this means that you can even take the speakers outside the house, and they will still work.

There are many advantages for the wireless speakers but there are also negative aspects. Since they are quite new on the market, the wireless technology is not perfect yet. So it may happen that some wireless speakers may interfere with other devices from your home, and the sound won’t be crystal clear. Also specified maximum range of the speakers may vary depending on the environment.

For example if you have thick walls or many other obstacles in the house, it will be more difficult for the sound waves to travel, and they won’t reach as far as they should. But anyway…if you don’t want to be restrained by the wires and you wish to have total freedom when choosing where to place your speakers, then you can buy some wireless ones.

Now let’s discuss about a specific model of wireless speakers, and we’ll choose the mimi Wireless USB Speaker System. This is quite an interesting product but it is a wireless speaker but can also be considered an USB speaker. And this is because the transmitter is actually a very small device that needs to be plugged into an USB port. It looks just like a USB stick. So you can connect this device to your computer or notebook and then take the very small speaker anywhere you want. So you can enjoy your favorite music in the bedroom, living room, kitchen and even in the bathroom.

Simply connect the USB stick and then play your favorite music files. The speaker can last for up to 6 hours so you will have a lot of time to relax and enjoy your favorite music anywhere in the house. And once the battery runs out, you can simply recharge it via USB. The range for the transmitter is 50 m, so if you have it in this range you can even take the speaker outside the house.

As you can notice the speaker is quite really small, and also good looking and the sound offered will be good too. The price for this device is 52 dollars, which is not that much compared to other wireless speakers. So enjoy it, and if you bough a mini Wireless USB Speaker System just share all your opinions with us, no matter if they are positive or negative.

The computers had evolved so much in the last decades, and along with them all of their components had evolved too. So the internal components got smaller and smaller but also more powerful, the monitors got thinner and thinner but also with a higher quality, and the computer speakers also got smaller and with advanced technologies included.



Most of the new computers come with a default set of speakers, and these are usually some small stereo speakers, that don’t sound so good. And that’s why many people are choosing to buy some new speakers for their computer. There are many possibilities for you…for example you can buy an audio system.

These can be 2.1 systems (that have 2 stereo speakers and a subwoofer) or surround sound systems (5.1 or 7.1 – that have 4 or 6 satellite speakers, a subwoofer and a center channel). These systems sound really good, and they will offer you a complex and powerful audio experience. You can also have a really great sound by using some floor-standing speakers. These are really big and heavy, and they can bring an even more powerful sound than a surround sound system.

In case you don’t want something really powerful to rock your house, and you are looking for some “mobile” speakers, that can be used in any room of your house, and also outside the house, then you can choose some wireless stereo speakers. As the name says these are special speakers that have no wires. They come with a transmitter that must be connected to the computer (or other audio source) and this transmitter will send the audio signal through radio waves all the way to the speakers.

But of course you can ‘t go as far as you want, and you must stay in the specified range from the transmitter. Depending on the environment, some speakers may not even work in the specified range, and you will need to get even closer. For example if the specified range is 200 feet and between the speakers and the transmitter there are many walls and obstacles, they might work at maximum 150 feet.

It is known that the wireless technology is not very good yet, and there can be interferences on the speakers. Some of them may interfere with devices around your home, but you can avoid this by changing the position of the speakers, or searching for the right frequency. But anyway…if you really want some speakers with no wires, that will give you total freedom of placing them indoor or outdoor, then you can definitely choose some wireless speakers.

There are many models of wireless speakers on the market, and one of them is the Advent AW 820. The system is composed out of two separate speakers, that can run on batteries (which are not included). Each speaker has a 4 inch woofer and a 1 inch tweeter, meaning that they will give a complex sound with  both high frequency sounds and bass. Each speaker offers 10 watts RMS of power, which is quite ok for some small speakers like this. The maximum transmission range is up to 300 feet (depending on the environment) and the frequency response goes from as low as 30 Hz to as high as 20.000 hz. As we said they can run on batteries, but also with AC power, and the adapter is included. And the price form theme is around 230 dollars, depending on the store you get them from.

Along with the development of the computers, all of their components had evolved too. The monitors got thinner and thinner, and also with a bigger diagonal, the mice got smaller and smaller and with a laser technology instead of a ball, and the list goes on with all of the computer’s components. And of course it is the same thing with the computer speakers.



There are still bigger models of speakers like in the old times, but there are also very small ones, that are capable of giving a great sound quality. But the speakers didn’t evolved just in size…the also evolved in terms of wires and connectivity. Today it is not necessary to have a lot of wires to connect a speaker to a computer or to another music player device, because there are wireless speakers. These don’t have any wires, and they communicate with the transmitter through radio waves.



These days it is not even necessary to have an AC power source to make your speakers work. There are still many models of powered computer speakers, but there are also a lot of speakers that are working with batteries. But the latest technology doesn’t require an AC power source , and doesn’t require batteries either. So you might wonder where the speakers will get their power from. Well the answer is…from the computer. And we are talking here about the USB speakers.

They are connected to the computer through an USB cable, and this is the only cable they have. It is for both the audio signal, and the power. So you simply connect the speakers with the computer through the USB cable, and they won’t need any batteries or power source, and you won’t even need a sound card. The signal for these speakers remains digital all the way, meaning that the sound quality will be better.

But the greatest advantage for the USB speakers is their portability. Since more and more people are buying a laptop, and since the speakers from the laptop don’t sound so good, many are buying some USB speakers for their notebook. They are usually small and portable, so you can take them anywhere with you, and connect them to the laptop anytime you want, by simply plugging them into the USB port. There are many models of USB speakers on the market, made by different producers, but today we are going to discuss about one model, and we’ll choose the Creative Labs N 400 portable notebook speakers.



These devices cost around 60 dollars, but they also sound really good. There are 2 stereo speakers, unlike other USB speakers that are composed out of just one unit. They are featuring a X- Fi technology (Extreme Fidelity) and this will expand the sound, taking it from a simple stereo sound to a complex surround sound. They are small, lightweight, and they also come with a useful carrying case, so they are really portable speakers. Here was just one model of USB speaker, but of course there are so many more on the market. So if you wish to have some portable speakers and use them with your laptop, or if you simply want some small speakers for your home, that have just a single cable, then you should definitely buy some of this category.

Computers have developed a lot in the last years, and along with them the computer speakers too. These days you can find some really powerful speakers, that are capable of giving a high quality sound, and they don’t even have to be very big for this. Actually you can find some very tiny speakers these days, that still give  a good sound. There are many types of speakers, depending on their size, shape, price and sound quality.



Some of the most powerful are the floor standing speakers, and if you are using some speakers of this type you can bring the disco right in your own room. Or if you are using a surround sound system you can live great movie sensations, just like you are at a cinema. But all of these speakers, especially the surround sound systems will have a lot of wires that you will need to be placed all over your room and under your desk, and if you have a small and crowded room, this might be a problem for you. But don’t worry because there is a solution for you too!  And this is to buy some wireless speakers.



These are specially made speakers that don’t have any wires…so you will have much more freedom when choosing where to place them in the room, and you won’t be stopped by the length of the wires. But you can go even further, and place the speakers in another room rather than the room where your computer is. So you can place them in the kitchen, or in the bathroom or even outside the house. You can put them anywhere you like, as long as you are in the specified range of the transmitter. The transmitter will be connected to the computer (or any other music source – CD, MP3, DVD player, radio etc.) and it will stay in that room. And the speakers will be placed anywhere else, and the transmitter will send radio waves to the speakers to allow them to give the music.

Usually the specified range for a transmitter is between 150 and 300 feet. But in reality the range will not always match with the specified number. This also depends on the obstacles found in the way of the radio waves. If between the transmitter and the speakers there are many thick walls to go through, and other obstacles, the radio waves will not go as far as they should. Therefore you won’t have any sound at all, or the sound will be with noises and interferences.

That’s why it would be perfect to test the wireless outdoor stereo speakers before buying them. If the seller agrees with this, then you can take them in your own home, and see which are the places where the sound is good, and in what places the speakers are not performing so well. It is also recommended to make some research before buying a specific model of wireless speakers. Some of them had troubles, and the sound was not so clear because of the interferences, so you might want to stay away from those models. Just search on the internet for reviews given by persons who already used those speakers. If the ratings are reviews are good, and people were pleased with the speakers, then you can buy them…but if the reviews are not so good, you will probably regret that you have spent your money on those speakers.



A model of wireless speakers known to be good is the AW 871 from Acoustic Research. You can buy them for about 180 dollars and the sound will be quite nice. They work on a frequency of 900 Mhz for the radio waves, and the specified maximum range is 300 feet. The producer is saying that the sound will be good even through walls, floors, ceilings and other obstacles and the users agree with this. Of course it is not recommended to place the speakers exactly at 300 feet from the transmitter, but if you will stay up to 250 feet distance, the sound will be great. So you can place them anywhere you want in the house, and even outside.

They have a power of 10 watts RMS for each speaker (this means a total power of 20 watts RMS), so they will behave quite nice and you can even have an outdoor party using these speakers. Of course the sound won’t be heard in all the neighborhood, but still it will be ok. You can use them with many audio sources such as: computers, MP3 players, CD and DVD players, TV-s, VCR-s, cassette players and others. They also have a jack for headphones, in case you might want to enjoy some sound on your own without disturbing the others. Let’s say for example that you are sleeping with your husband / wife, or brother / sister or whatever… and it is late at night and you don’t have any sleep. So a good idea to keep you busy will be to watch a movie. But the other person in bed next to you is sleeping, so you can’t turn on the speakers because you will wake him /  her up.

It won’t be a problem if you have some wireless speakers…you will turn on the computer, play the movie, and you will take one speaker in bed next to you. Then you will plug in the headphones, and voila!...you will be able to enjoy the sound from the movie, in your own bed, without the other person to hear anything! The speakers are not big at all, so taking one in bed next to you won’t be a problem. Each speaker has 1 inch dome tweeter and a 4 inch woofer, meaning that they will give a rich sound, through all the sound ranges.

The frequency response is quite very good, going from 20 hz to 20.000 hz. The signal to noise ratio is > 55 db and the stereo separation is > 20 db. They also have a feature that auto adjusts the transmitter so send the waves correctly to the speakers, depending on their location. Another good feature is that you can choose to play them in mono or in stereo. So when having one speaker in a room, and the other in another room, you will choose mono, and each of the speaker will give the full sound. But if you have both speakers in the same room, you will choose to play in stereo, and each speaker will focus on its specific sound. The control is simple: one of the speakers has a knob for the volume, and the on and off power button.

They work on rechargeable batteries, and whenever you connect them with the AC power plug, the batteries will recharge, while they can still be playing music. One negative issue (that is not found just at this model, but usually at all the wireless speakers) is that the radio waves may interfere with other devices from your home. So if you find out that they are interfering with a specific device, try to change their position and avoid those devices. So after all they are small but good (actually some of the best) wireless speakers.



This was just a model of wireless outdoor stereo speakers, but of course there are many more others on the market. So if you have some speakers of this type, share your opinions with us, and let all  the other people know if they worth their money or not. If you are tired of all the wires hanging on and under your desk, and you wish to have total freedom when placing your speakers, then you should definitely choose some wireless speakers. But if you are looking for a perfect and clear sound, and the wires are not such a big problem for you, then we recommend you to buy some classical speakers.
