The Bottom Line: Really great sound with excellent durability. I'm glad I found them at the price I did because I probably wouldn't have given them a second thought otherwise.
Annie_Crane's Full Review: MGA Entertainment Bratz Be Bratz.Com Speakers
Kid at heart here, --- -->
I admit it.
I love the color pink and with just the right amount of shine, I just could not resist the new Bratz Be-Bratz.com speakers. I’m not talking about a light shade of pink or the pastel pink you’ve picked out for your new born. It’s about as shiny and hot as pink can get. These speakers not only look great (remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder) but they sound great too.
So maybe you are wondering just how well they do sound. Well, let’s take a look at the actual product first, and then we’ll talk about the clarity, shall we?

How to use your Be-Bratz.com Speakers….
Just locate your computers (or iPod’s) external speaker (the audio out) jack and plug it in. I recommend turning your volume all the way down first just for safety’s sake.
Bratz Be-Bratz.com speakers (which we will refer to from here on out as BBS for simplicity) is every Barbie-girl and Bratz-doll dream speakers. They are as pink as you can get with a textured service around the actual speaker itself. This textured service actually looks like sequence shimmering but the reality is that it is part of the design with nothing special (or detachable) included. So your little one will not be able to pick or pull at anything shinny to remove it and taste it.
The center (aka the grill) of the BBS is white metal but toward the bottom of this is the BBS logo. This is where the sound comes from. Surrounding that is the shinny bright pink colored plastic that is in the shape of a triangle melded together with a circle. The point of the triangle peaks up above the circle and the two lower portions of the triangle are the legs. The back of the BBS is the exact same shape but in a much different shade of pink without the glam and no grill. This design is referred to by the company as “a super cool space saving design”. The durability is extremely well. I pressed as hard as I could with my thumb on the center of the grill just to see if it would cave and it maintained its shape under the force. I dropped them from desk top height then checked the sound quality and it was still as good as before.
The connection from the speakers to your computer or iPod is the exact same type as most headphones and ear buds. The color however is what separates BBS from other headphones. The Color is identical the shade of pink that is on the back of the BBS. True, I know you or your daughter won’t have a shiny hot pink laptop or computer to match up the color of the BBS, but that’s what is so great about it. These really stand out. Plug it in and place one speaker on each side of your flat screen monitor and for the first few hours your daughter will look at these almost as much as she is looking at her pc/iPod. I’m telling you, your little princess will Love them! I’m way beyond that princess stage and I get a kick out of them every time I sit down at my desk.
Now how about that sound quality? On a scale of 1 to ten; one being busted speakers in your (or your dad’s ) old Gremlin and ten being the Dolby Digital 7.1 surround sound the BBS ranks about a 5.5. Well, what did you expect, movie theater quality? Not for less than 20 bucks and for something that is recommended for ages 6 – 9. But hey, it’s still pretty good quality with no static or interference found at such a great price. The price, I paid $3.99 at Goodwill. I’ve found it as low as $7.00 online though. So if you look hard enough, you’ll find a great deal for you or the other princess in your home. ;o)
