Summary: You get what you pay for
Review: For under $20 these speakers do their job. They get loud, and that's probably their best quality. They are pretty clear, but there is no bass. You are definitely getting what you pay for.
The speakers are not supplied w/ an A/C adapter and I had trouble finding an after market one to power them properly.

Summary: Shattered Expectations
Review: If you set your expectations low enough, you just might be satisfied. Sony SRS-A27 speakers aren't worth $14.99 let alone $19.99. With only 1w per Speaker, don't expect to much. I recommend you shop around unless you want to waste $19.99. Overall I give them 1 Star each for participation.

Summary: Don't expect much.
Review: These speakers on definitely on the low end of sound quality. At a power rating of 1 watt per speaker, they sound much smaller than they look. The sound is a harsh mix of the mid-to-high-end range. There is no hint of bass.Battery life (four AA batteries) will give you between 15-30 hours of play. While this isn't bad, it also means that if you accidentally leave the power switch on, you'll be on your way to the store for more batteries. Good thing there is an AC plug (but no cables). On the lighter side, the packaging mine came with said that these could be used with a Walkman, CD Walkman, MD Walkman, or PC. It then stated that "Walkman and PC is not supplied." Rats, I thought I was going to get a PC for twenty bucks!

Summary: Simple and decent
Review: When I was looking for a pair of powered portable speakers, I looked at this pair from Sony, as well as a couple selections at Radio Shack, all for the same price of $19.99. Compared to the Radio Shack speakers, the Sony has these pros and cons: Pros:
- lightweight
- better build quality (all are made in China)
- accommodates easier-to-find AA batteries vs. size C for RS
- slightly better sound with more clarity Cons:
- no bass or treble controls as on the RS speakers
- not as loud as the RS speakers, but the latter gets distorted so bad so the maximum volume is meaningless In the end I chose the Sony speakers for better sound and build quality as well as a longer warranty. I use them with my RCA Lyra MP3 Jukebox and also my Panasonic SL-SV550 CD/MP3/Radio player. Pretty happy so far.
