• Single chassis, dual speakers with 2 watts per channel
• Compact, foldable design permits easy transport wherever you take your portable music player or digital voice recorder
• 1.3-inch neodymium-magnet drivers produce high energy output for greater speaker movement, power, and sonic accuracy
• Magnetically shielded so the speakers will not disturb images when close to a TV or monitor
• Includes world-voltage (100V to 240V) AC/DC power adapter; also runs on 4 AA batteries (not included)

With their single chassis and compact, foldable design, Sony's 2-watts-per-channel SRS-T88 speakers will travel easily, wherever you go. A supplied world-voltage AC/DC power adapter even lets you take the speakers overseas without worrying about excessive battery consumption.

The speakers' 1.3-inch (34 mm) neodymium magnets produce high energy output for impressive speaker movement, power, and sonic accuracy, giving you remarkably good sound from speakers occupying little more space than a CD case. A dynamic sound duct (bass port) uses space within the housing--plus additional space within the battery compartment--to maximize low-frequency output for reasonably full bass reproduction. Not enough? Kick in the unit's Mega Bass circuit for a boost.

The SRS-T88 is magnetically shielded to avoid interference when placed near or atop a TV, laptop computer, or monitor. The speakers' two-way power supply permits operation using 4 AA batteries (not included) or the supplied world-voltage adapter (compatible with AC 100V to 240V). The unit weighs approximately 9 ounces (without batteries) or 12 ounces (including batteries).

These speakers fit the bill for what I needed in traveling. It's not a great stereophonic quality, but it does a good amplification job and does have a decent sound for music that doesn't require significant bass. It is very compact and is also dual voltage so you won't have to go through batteries like candy.

The Sony SRS-T88 speakers are reasonably compact, offer BOTH battery and AC poser options and deliver reasonable audio for my purposes. I am a learning musician that has a day job as a traveling consultant. These speakers are part of my remote jamming and lesson system.

To get the best performance from these so-so speakers, you must fold out the stand. The stand's hinge is made of cheap plastic and will break after a few uses. The plug at the end of the cable which hooks to the PC, is stored in the battery compartment. The plastic lip which should hold the compartment closed is made of similar shoddy material - poorly designed, which will break after a couple of months. After that, every time you take the speakers out of their cheap bag, the battery cover flies open and spill your batteries all over. Sony should be ashamed to put their name of this product.

We bought these for a family vacation, and they worked very well for a small package. I wouldn't say that they're good for someone looking for a bass pumping tailgate music package, but for our kids to watch a movie on the video iPod or listen to some bedtime tunes they were more than adequate. The internal cord storage is a nice feature, and they will work passably well without any batteries installed (just using the headphone driver power), but much better with the batteries. The cord storage cover also doubles as a nice little stand. All in all, better than a laptop's speakers and nicely portable. Highly recommended.

PLEASANTLY SURPRISED BY THE SOUND. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS TO OTHERS WHO ARE INTERESTED. READING REVIEWS ON THIS PRODUCT, I WAS NOT EXPECTING MUCH FROM THE BASS SOUND. AFTER HEARING IT , THAT STILL HOLDS TRUE.
