Greatness in a Small Footprint

When you’re in the market for mini computer speakers, you are most likely considering one of two types.  There are mini computer speakers that boost sound coming from your notebook or laptop computer, and sometimes even your desktop computer; and then there are mini computer speakers that are the external sound source for your iPod or MP3 player.  Perhaps you want your mini computer speakers to do both.  Whichever of these you are considering; there is one truth when it comes to mini computer speakers:  bigger is not necessarily better.

There are benefits to mini computer speakers that other greater, stereo speakers cannot duplicate.  First would be their size.  Mini computer speakers are generally small and compact; they don’t take up much room at all in your home or office and minimize clutter on your desk.  Their second benefit is an extension of the first, which is that mini computer speakers are incredibly easy to travel with, as they take up no room in a briefcase or luggage, and many are even foldable to create even less bulk.  In the mini computer speaker market, one generally will pay a premium the smaller the speakers are. 

There are definite advantages that stereo speakers and bigger speakers have that mini computer speakers do not supply.  For instance, the low resonating bass frequencies are not available on mini computer speakers; in particular, the frequencies between 50-100 Hz.  While they may sound similar when you listen to them sitting directly in front of them, mini computer speakers will generally lose quality the greater the room is in size, and the further you are sitting while listening to them.  For watching movies and trying to reproduce HD sounds, mini computer speakers will generally be sub-par to larger speaker sets.

One item that is most popular and highly recommended by all who purchase them is the iHome Rechargeable Mini Speakers.  The product dimensions are a mere 2.8 X 6.9 X 3.5 inches, and it weighs only 8 ounces.  They are truly tiny! 

This model supplies sound to computers and MP3 players, including the iPod, or anything that has an audio jack.  It comes with built in lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, which means less waste because it recharges – and the USB cable is included.  Following the Apple design, the iHome comes in a vast array of colorful choices; it is a fun, compact design sure to impress you.  For mini computer speakers, the iHome provides a rather surprising amount of bass response and volume.  Of course, it has all the aforementioned benefits of mini computer speakers such as portability.  In fact, it’s so small it fits into the palm of your hand (with some room leftover).  Apple also provides a little pouch for storage when not in use.  Almost every single consumer who has purchased these mini computer speakers raves about how amazing the sound quality is for such a small and light model.  These mini computer speakers are available for approximately $45, but one additional and optional cost to keep in mind is that you will have to purchase an Apple USB Power Adaptor if you would like to plug these mini computer speakers directly into the wall.  However, you can buy these used for merely a few dollars, or on sale, brand new, for around $10. 
You’ll be hard-pressed to find smaller mini computer speakers that provide better sound at this cost.  The iHome mini computer speakers have mastered their niche in the mini computer speaker market, and are definitely a top contender for any consumer.
