Asus is gracing us with another
quality sound device from its corporate headquarters in Taipei, Taiwan the uBoom series. Asus, one of the best know motherboard manufacturers, has been creating peripherals as well. The latest creations are a pair of multimedia speakers designed to produce great sound in the limited spaces. Slightly larger than most
sound bars they pack 2 speakers and a subwoofer. The uBoom is the larger of the pair and packs a whopping 24 watts RMS power to the speakers. The uBoom contains an effective
USB sound card to take over sound processing from your PC. The design is such that it can prop up your laptop enough to allow for cooling air circulation to flow underneath. At 7 pounds the all aluminum uBoom may be more of a permanent addition to your desktop.
The uBoom Q is slightly smaller but more self-sufficient. Still a 2.1 speaker system it is less powerful but doesn't require an AC adapter like the larger model. The more portable version gets everything it needs from the USB connection. Both of the uBoom's side mounted speakers curve towards the front and the subwoofer points straight up for immersive sound. The uBoom Q will make a better traveling companion at 400 grams. No word on price or availability yet.
