Hi!
My parents are currently using Creative sbs A 35 speakers for their HCL Desktop; recently there have been many complaints that the speakers don't produce sound at all most of the time.
I want to buy them new speakers. However I have very little knowledge of the terms used to describe audio systems, as of now. These are my options as of now:
1. Creative sbs A 35 speakers (Currently being used)
Specifications:
~ speaker power: 1.0 Watt RMS per channel (2channels)
~ Frequency response: 100 Hz ~15 kHz
~ signal to noise ratio (SNR): 70 db

2. AYL Portable Mini Speaker System ($16.99)
Specifications:
~ Input L/R400MV
~ Power Output: 4W*2
~ S/N: 80DB
~ AMP Freq Range: 200Hz - 16Hz

3. Bose SoundLink Mini Bluetooth Speaker ($199.00)
Specifications:
(Unable to find; all I see is length, breadth & A/C specs!!)

4. Satechi Divoom Bluetune Solo Portable Bluetooth Speaker System ($39.99)
Specifications:
(Unable to find; all I see is length, breadth & A/C specs!!)
URL: http://www.amazon.com/Satechi-Bluetune-Portable-Bluetooth-Motorola/dp/B008SFTP8M?ie=UTF8&ref_=de_a_smtd&showDetailTechData=1#technical-data
Requirements:
~ Need to use it with a Desktop
~ users are not much of audiophiles. All they need is to be able to do Skype calls and occasional movie streaming
~ As is evident from my listings, I care not about the brand image or the low/high price. I need to see how they compare "technically" and do what they have to.
~ As I have to carry them when I travel home via airlines, I prefer them to be portable; however I can order them when I reach home too, if I'm out of options
Questions:
1) Please compare/tell me how to compare these products
2) I don't think using portable speakers for Desktop systems affect the sound quality as the ones I listed support "stereo mode" too. Am I missing anything else important?
Please ask me if more information is needed.
Thanks,
