Like Flexi-Lights, Only Louder

As good as laptop speakers have gotten in the past few years, there's still a lot to be desired from both volume and sound quality. However, if you attach a pair of external speakers to your portable noise-making machine, you lower its portability, which isn't any fun. Speaker-makers JLAB think they have the solution: it's called B-Flex, and it's a pair of speakers with a two-watt amplifier set into a plastic housing that's attached to a flexible neck, like on those desk lamps that allow you to adjust the light angle. Best of all, it plugs into a USB port, so there's no need to hoof around batteries or a wall wart to get quality sound. At an inch and a quarter in depth, it's no big strain on your laptop bag, either.
