Landport Cubes Squeeze Powered Speakers In Just 2.5cm
Posted by Kit Eaton at 8:48 PM on December 1, 2008
Portable speakers for MP3 players are two a penny, but not many are not far off a penny in size: Landport's Cubes are though. They're just an inch cube, but fit in stereo speakers, 3.5-mm jack plug, rechargeable batteries and a mini-USB port. They'll run for 4-5 hours on a charge, too. Just don't go expecting bone-rattling volume as they pump out a similarly tiny 0.8-watts. Out soon in Japan for $US25. [Slashgear]

The size of a penny, and sound quality of the same value.

I bought something similar on a lark recently, hoping to be pleasantly surprised ("Hey, you know, for $5.00 and something this small, they actually sound pretty OK"). But I wasn't. They utterly and irredeemably sucked.

So.. looking at the marketing picture, I'm supposed to buy these and plug them into my laptop, replacing the shitty internal laptop speaker with a shitty external speaker?

@The_Bronze: No, your laptop becomes the world's most expensive battery charger.

I could have sworn with that headline that these were "squeeze-powered" speakers...
