The Razer Ferox speakers are - being from Razer – aimed at laptop-toting gamers. But the portable, battery-powered speakers would be good for anyone whose notebook's built-in speakers aren't up to the job.
The pod-like boxes actually open up when powered-on, shoving the 30mm speaker-cones out of the top and making room for a bass-resonance chamber, which Razer has chosen over real subwoofers. You'll also have to contend with a glowing blue light shining out from a ring around the base of the speakers.
While having two battery-powered (12-hours, rechargeable) units means you can get better stereo separation than a single two-speaker box, you don't gain any real independence. The input is via 3.5mm jack only, so you're going to have to run a cable after all. Bluetooth would make these truly portable.
The price is reasonable enough, however. The Feroxes come in at $60 for the pair, leaving enough cash for pizza and Mountain Dew at your next LAN party.
