# Wee Notebook Amplifiers Ucube USB Speakers Boast Bold Sounds for Your Laptop By Matt Ho | Published 2011-06-27 | Updated 2011-07-02 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ucube-usb-speakers References: [coolmaterial](http://coolmaterial.com/tech/ucube-usb-speakers/) & [crutchfield](http://www.crutchfield.com/S-L8U8Eee0q5I/p_785UCUBEB/Ultralink-UCube-Black.html?tp=1109) Let's face it, laptop speakers aren't the greatest; however, the UCube USB Speakers will provide that full sound you're looking for while playing music at your desk. What I like about the UCube USB Speakers is their size. Most speakers on the market are too big, and they usually come with a gigantic subwoofer. UCube shrinks the size into a miniature cube with a neat little stand for support. It's a really good size that won't take up space and it certainly benefits those who predominantly use laptops. The other thing is that the speakers are powered by USB cord, which means two cables at most make the setup, eliminating the mess of tangled wires altogether. Technically, the UCube provides a 170-degree sound field and 30 watts of volume, which should be more than enough for your laptop. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Miniature Speaker Systems:** The trend of developing miniature speaker systems provides a space-saving solution for laptop users seeking high-quality sound. - **Usb-powered Audio Devices:** The rise of USB-powered audio devices eliminates the need for multiple cables and offers convenient setup options for users. - **Enhanced Laptop Audio:** The demand for enhanced laptop audio drives the development of compact, powerful speakers that deliver immersive sound experiences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Audio Technology:** The audio technology industry can capitalize on the trend of developing miniature speaker systems by designing compact yet powerful audio devices. - **Computer Accessories:** The computer accessories industry has disruptive innovation opportunities in USB-powered audio devices, creating products that simplify cable management for users. - **Consumer Electronics:** Consumer electronics companies can tap into the demand for enhanced laptop audio by developing innovative speaker systems that provide immersive sound experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Palm-Sized 360-Degree Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ub-s1-circle.md) - [Accessible Audiophile Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/double-bass-speaker.md) - [Loud Oval-Structured Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epicboom-speaker.md) - [Futuristic Tabletop Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edifier-cyber-speaker.md) - [Desktop Dialogue Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trevolo-u.md) - [Compact Pro-Quality Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kanto-audio.md) - [Oversized Headphone-Inspired Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jlabs-blue-xl.md) - [Futuristic Mechanical Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyber-shell.md) - [Pocket-Sized Portable Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniroll.md)
