Need recommendation for portable speakers

I've just received my W3V, and to my horror, the built in speakers are just absolutely horrible. When I read the reviews, I did not recall anything about the speakers. So I guess the only solution is external speakers.

Well, the speakers should be able to be powered from the laptop and small, since I'm gonna travel with it alot.

I saw this ALTEC LANSING Portable Speakers Model XT1. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16836113153
Looks pretty good judging from the reviews. Though the price is a little high. Any better suggestions? Thanks

 

We really liked the AL set, reviewed them about a year ago. Think Outside has a new one coming though, they've bought out the boom toob folks and are bringing them to market. You might wait for those, we will be reviewing them soon.

 

I just use these when I need to crank up the volume:

Thanks. And is there a way to search for speaker reviews in this site?

 

The Altec are the only ones we've done. We will be doing the TO set too though.

I'm doing a review on Creative's Travelsound Notebook 500 right now. The sound quality is pretty good, and they clip on to your notebook.

I use the Creative Labs travel sound speakers also. I forgetthe model number, but they're the older ones that just sit on the side. They work well, but they eat batteries!
