Cheap Portable Speakers with Bass for your laptop?

I’m a morning person and DJTT is almost always my go-to morning site<3

Well, within that first minute of lurking I get that crave to mix but my bro is always sleeping in my room, we only have one room to share, and thats where my gear is setup at.

just wondering if any of you guys know any good affordable portable speakers (with bass is a big plus) that I can just grab off the table and plug in and start bumpin if anything.

I found some good ones but I feel like you guys would know something better.

[ame=“Amazon.com”]Amazon.com: (Dark Grey Color) SimplyVibe SV-S550 Premium Portable Speakers w/ Subwoofer DSP Bass for iPod, iPhone, Android Devices, MP3 Players, Laptops (Mac/ PC) and Portable Devices (Plug & Play USB): Electronics@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21Y9jw6ZVBL.@@AMEPARAM@@21Y9jw6ZVBL[/ame]

also simplyvibe seems like they have some potential.

Well it’s not cheap but I swear by this thing: [ame=“Amazon.com”]Amazon.com: Tivoli Audio Model One AM/FM Table Radio, Hunter/Maple: Electronics@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/517WV1MFVYL.@@AMEPARAM@@517WV1MFVYL[/ame]

Actually I have the slightly more expensive Pal but same basic idea – excellent sound for a small portable device that you can use with batteries.

Roland MA-7As are another good travel choice although a bit heavier. I think those will set you back $100 US… Roland also makes Mobile Cube which is like a mini guitar amp that you can carry by hand and it works great with an ipod or computer plugged into it instead of a guitar. Big sound too :slight_smile:

Boomtube

If you can get hold of one, then get a Boomtube.
[ame=“Amazon.com”]Amazon.com: iGo BoomTube H2O1 STWBT21: Electronics@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31fL7%2BHLnSL.@@AMEPARAM@@31fL7%2BHLnSL[/ame]

I’m pretty sure they are not produced anylonger but it’s a sweet portable speaker system albeit a bit on the heavy side. Packs 40 watts of power!

There have been two versions: the Virgin Boomtube EX and the iGo Boomtube H2O. Same product, different brand is all.

Take a look on ebay.

Headphones or nothing. All small speakers fucking blow.

5

eww headphones.

the rolands seem nice but it seems to lean in more for desktop speakers. the boom tube looks really promising too bad theyre all out of stock on amazon and one being auctioned on ebay

6

Ew headphones? What the fuck man, you on the right forum?

7

im just kidding man. headphones r on another level. i just want some area of effect kind of sound output you know? on the portable side

8

agreeed

9

really? well now that I think about it… getting some high end headphones wouldnt be so bad actually :roll_eyes:

10

Eff that. Don’t give in to peer pressure. If you want small speakers, keep searching till you find them! If you actually do want headphones now, then get those. Just don’t give in to peer pressure!

Stay above the influence.

11

get both speakers and headphones!

if you are considering the boomtube, make sure you get the big one (there are two models, a small and a big one).

Maybe I was sheltered as a child but I tried to find some portable speakers a few years ago and couldn’t find a good set of them..maybe now they have some good options, but headphones never fail ya :sunglasses:

I use a pair of speakers that have a usb preamp and plug into the headphone socket, my dad got them from china for like 5 euro the sound quality is smazing for like a 1inch speaker and they are clear with blue led’s in them which i like to pluggin in whilst mixing since it makes my setup look nice… These are loud and punchy and are great for checking out my new tunes… Long story short… Try out speakers till you find something that works as you as you may get a suprise

Have a look at Balloon Speaker Store..

Portable speaker

Logitech Z323

Try checking out minirigs.co.uk …

17

Have u used those mini rigs? They look awesome, considering gettin one

18

Yeah i’m interested too, staying in travel lodges gets annoying when your trying to jam on the built in speakers!

Only just been released, I’m after one myself. Friends whose opinion I trust rate them.
