Are mini hamburger type speakers any good?




Quantz :)


I'm thinking of buying one for about US$20. Has anyone tried them? If so, are they functional? how do they compare to regular speakers in terms of sound quality? I'm talking about the ones that come with USB and charge by being connected to a computer.

Answer
If you spend some time around here you'll notice many people are usually asking these sorts of questions AFTER they make their purchase. A wise man asks before.

When buying a home theater system you have many questions to ask yourself. I'll try to cover the major concerns.

1.) How many channels? There are many options here. You can go with a 2.1, 3.1, 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 surround sound system. The ".1" means you have a subwoofer while the other digit indicated the number of satellite speakers. 2 and 3 channel surround is just simulated surround, not much better than a TV by itself, so I can't really recommend that route. In my opinion 6 and 7 channels are just too many. They would work great in a big room, but most TV rooms aren't that big. You can always expand on a 5.1, so that's the setup I recommend, especially for a beginner.

2.) HTIB or DIY? You have two options here. You can assemble all components yourself or you can buy everything bundled in a home theater in a box (HTIB). Generally speaking, HTIBs are inferior. This is because they usually lack in a wide variety of connection ports. Also, as you may have noticed, many are based on a DVD player. If you must buy an HTIB, make sure you buy one that is receiver-based so you have the flexibility to expand. (For good receiver-based systems, see Onkyo's HT-S series.)

3.) Connectivity? HDMI is the best cable out there right now, so you'll want to make sure you have a system that can handle HDMI. Also, make sure it's an HDMI switcher/repeater, not pass through. ("Pass through" means no processing is taking place.) In addition to at least two HDMI-in and one HDMI-out ports, you'll want at least one optical and digitial coax in, some composite connections, a few component video in connections, etc.

4.) Audio formats? Every decent product should have Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS decoding capabilities. With the advent of Blu-ray a couple of new formats have emerged--Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. These are uncompressed audio soundtracks that, given a decent set of speakers, will sound superior to the older formats, which are "lossy".

5,) Blu-ray? If you are planning on buying a Blu-ray player in the future you should "future proof" yourself by buying HD-ready home theater equipment today.

I have put together a budget HD product list for those just getting started: http://www.amazon.com/The-Best-Hi-Def-Home-Theater-on-a-Budget/lm/R1M8CM8FMVSKF5/ref=cm_lm_byauthor_title_full

If you feel too overwhelmed you can go with the Onkyo HTIB I mentioned earlier. The 6100 and above is HD.: http://www.us.onkyo.com/prod_class.cfm?class=Systems

Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck.
