5 Laptop Speakers to Boost Your Mobile Listening Experience

We’ve rounded up five of the hottest laptop speakers that can fit in your backpack or pocket for on the go use. Almost all of these devices can be plugged into anything with a standard headphone jack so you can also use them with your MP3 players, iPhones, Android devices and the iPad.

While many mobile users will listen to their laptops with headphones, there are times when you want to share or to fill a room with music instead of isolating yourself with a set of earbuds. While newer laptops are offering better speakers and enhanced audio if you want to really deliver on sound you will need an external set of speakers.
