If you are passionate abo ut the sound of your music, but you’d rather use speakers than headphones,  you may be frustrated by  the limitations of many built-in laptop speakers.  Same thing applies if you have limited desk space and need to rely on the built-in speakers in your PC.  

There are a couple of new solutions on the market that will let you take a relatively compact speaker bar on the road with you to generate some solid, if not necessarily awesome sound.  The “Sound To Go” speaker bar by Edifier is an attractive brushed aluminum speaker system powered by a USB connector.  The speaker also comes with a standard stereo jack to plug in an MP3 player.  Sound quality is solid, though not overwhelming,  offering enough volume to thump the desk.  Sound To Go is available throughhttp://www.edifier.ca/eshop/ with an MSRP of 49.99 USD.  One problem with this attractive package is where to put it.  It fits nicely under the monitor of an all-in-one PC,  but you would need to put it to the side or behind if you’re using most laptops.  I have been using it with my bedside Sony Dash, where it does fit nicely in front of the unit.
