CNET Editors' Review
The good: The LG Portable Stereo Speakers MSP-100 is really tiny, has a rechargeable internal battery, and sounds better than we expected, considering its size.
The bad: There's no volume control on the LG Portable Stereo Speakers MSP-100.
The bottom line: If you're looking for ultracompact speakers that don't sacrifice on sound quality, LG's Portable Stereo Speakers MSP-100 fits the bill--and it won't break the bank.
Editors' Note: The rating on this review has been lowered from 7.7 to 7.3 due to changes in the competitive marketplace.
For a speaker set that's about the size of a cell phone, the LG Portable Stereo Speakers MSP-100 ($59.99) sounds about as good as can be expected. Flip this ultraportable speaker system open, and you won't find a screen and a keypad, although that's what you might expect from its clamshell, cell phone-like design. Instead, there are two speakers that run from an internal rechargeable battery; a power button; and little else. Sound ... Expand full review

For a speaker set that's about the size of a cell phone, the LG Portable Stereo Speakers MSP-100 ($59.99) sounds about as good as can be expected. Flip this ultraportable speaker system open, and you won't find a screen and a keypad, although that's what you might expect from its clamshell, cell phone-like design. Instead, there are two speakers that run from an internal rechargeable battery; a power button; and little else. Sound quality is somewhat constrained by the ultracompact design, but the MSP-100 is a solid on-the-go solution for amplifying sound from cell phones and portable media players.
The light, 2.7-ounce LG MSP-100 is about as small as a speaker system could be, while still sounding remotely decent. It measures only 3.5 by 1.7 by 0.8 inches when folded, with a length of 6.4 inches when flipped open, and it stows about as easily as a clamshell-style cell phone when folded up. The speakers' metallic chassis, which comes in black and silver, feels resilient and substantial. Both models have a reflective surface on their backs that could be used as a compact mirror in a pinch.

"Great Speakers in a Super Compact and Stylish Package" By Gators300
Pros Great Sound Quality, Super Compact, Stylish, Good Battery Life, and Good Value
Cons Minor Distortion in Top Volume Levels
Summary I picked these up looking for a small set of portable speakers that didn't rely on external power, (i.e. the device it was playing). When you first play these things you will, no doubt, be quite amazed at the sound quality. Just looking at their size one automatically ... Expand full review
