The Checklist

* '''Lightweight Portability''' ** You want something that is compact, lightweight and fits neatly in your duffel bag or backpack when you travel. ** Check models in person if possible to see how durable they are and what the quality of the craftsmanship is like. Remember that these things are going to get bounced around quite a bit and there's nothing like investing a pretty penny in what you expect to be a quality product only to find out that one drop is all it takes to send them to the speaker graveyard. ** When available, a travel case is a great accessory to have. * '''Sound Quality''' ** Sound quality on mini speakers will never quite suffice for big sound when compared to a home system, but technology is getting bigger as units are getting smaller. ** You want the speakers to emulate good highs and lows (treble and bass). To get the best range, you'll want units that have a treble and bass control. Also, be sure to opt for a 2.1 system over a 2.0 system. That means that you'll be getting right and left speakers plus a subwoofer (built-in). ** Look at the amplifiers. Are they 3watt? The general rule of thumb is the more wattage, the louder and more powerful the sound. * '''Power ''' ** When it comes to powering the speakers, most have an AC adapter and input so that you can plug them in when you are at home or in the office, or ditch the wires and roam free with the help of batteries. ** Batteries may be standard, but most often with wireless speakers, they'll use some sort of rechargable batteries. * '''Style and Appearance''' ** Look for a model that blends with your interior décor if you plan to use the speakers for your home or office. ** If you are taking your speakers with you on the go, pick the pair that match your MP3 player.
