    Hey I was just looking around the internet for some wireless bluetooth speakers for my new sony vaio fz-notebook. They will be left in my dormroom so mobility isn't really an issue, and budget is around $100-200. If anyone has any suggestions or recommendations I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks a bunch

    Bluetooth? Eh... :D

    Personally, if mobility isn't an issue I'd recommend either getting USB speakers or real ones (the kind that has an audio jack that is). You can get a much nicer pair of speakers by dropping the BT requirement.

    Yea the thing is I already have a ton of cables going everywhere and am trying to get a little more organized, but if the quality to price ratio is that much better I might reconsider

    Well, I've never even heard of BT speakers so...I'd say the price ratio is a lot higher :p...

    Suggestion...go to the nearest Staples or Best Buy and look up what they have in cable management. I've got the same messy problem but I somehow made it all work out thanks to those two stores.

    Yeah no bluetooth. There are wireless but even those are connected to each other.

    Why not get those twisty ties for laptop wires to loop off uncessary wire drag, that saved me alot of clutter and frustration. I didnt snag on them because the tension was tight and they rarely tangle now.

    Something like this (what I have) works great.
