There are AudioBox SonicBar U150 and user manual in the package. And check out the USB and audio cables to attach to your PC / monitor too.
Build quality is excellent for the price. Yes, thanks to solid plastic housing and the metal speaker grill in front. Furthermore, it is stylish in design too. Nice… And it’s about 40cm in length by the way. Suitable to place right under your PC monitor.
Volume control is the power on / off switch as well. And there is a blue LED power light indicator.

Finally, both left and right have anti-skid pad at the bottom.
Performance Result
10W total output power (RMS) is good enough to blast in a quiet room. Suitable for both office and home. Just place it below PC monitor will do. By the way, it is not suitable for TV usage because there is no remote control. In addition, not enough power to blast in a large living room as well.
As for sound quality, AudioBox SonicBar U150 is toward bright sound signature. More treble than bass as usual for a small size soundbar. However, it does have slight more bass than other mini soundbar that I tried. In short, it produces clear and crisp treble. Decent bass for a mini soundbar. Great for those who want to have clear vocal for news, podcast and movie. For your information, not to push too hard on this little speaker toward maximum volume. Sound distortion might come in depending on your source volume. Do take note…
