      This speaker produces great sound considering its’ size and price.
      Furthermore, the fact that its USB powered makes it really convenient to use, and I don’t have to ever worry about having the right cable or if it will reach from the back of my system when I can instead just mount it atop my tower by plugging it into one of the front USB ports.

      I also like to carry it with me for use on my laptop, and as nice as the built-in Harman Kardon speakers are on it, they don’t hold a candle to the levels this unit can put out.

      All things considered, I am really happy with this purchase and I would certainly recommend this to a friend.

      This is the coolest thing I’ve found in a long time. The sound is amazing. I have to admit I was not expecting it to sound that great. But it was a wonderful surprise. The problem with laptops is the speakers are so low, you have to be right in front of them to hear. Which is a problem when watching a movie on a laptop while cooking dinner. With Case Logic R110, I actually have to turn the sound down. I loaned it to my son, and he wanted one too.
