For 11 you can not expect BOSE sound but I am (despite otherwise quite high claims) surprised how "clean" the small parts sound. As a "tinny" I can describe it in any way. Clear, rich bass you can not expect but it exists and in any case, the profit for the laptops is integr. Loudspeakers enormously. The "space" is so high that I think was tricked here technically (runtime left / right). The parts are also quite heavy and well made for the size. Power supply via USB is convenient if one has a free USB port. Unfortunately, the cables are all fixed so you may be poor in the installation (no plug-in connections). With the ability to take on cable in the rear housing, the manufacturers had a good idea, the length of the cable should be sufficient for common applications.
