The Yamaha NX-U10 is an ingenious combo speaker system that works well with laptops, space-deprived desktops, and MP3 players.
Introduction
Yamaha is known for high quality musical instruments, professional level amps, digital mixers, and dozens of audio processing products. In a push to woo some of the iPod-toting, laptop-carrying masses, Yamaha's R & D folks developed a USB speaker system that claims to blow all other USB speakers out of the water. Yamaha insists their technogoloy is groundbreaking and that the NX-U10 offers the world's first 20W output from a portable USB speaker system.
While some older and more jaded techies hear "world's first" and cringe with sore memories of false propaganda used to hawk not-so-revolutionary products, every once in a while, we're pleasantly surprised with a really innovative product. The Yamaha NX-U10 may just be one of those surprising products that performs better than expected and opens the door to new adaptations. Read on to find out what we thought of the NX-U10 and whether we'd recommend dropping $149 USD on such a system.
