| Saitek, long known for its PC gaming devices, has jumped into the portable-speaker market with the Saitek A-200. A 2.1-channel portable speaker, it sounds good for its size and is easy to set up and operate. Its unusual design makes it look unique and is highly portable. The A-200s only has buttons for volume control, but for good reason. Tone adjustment should be done on your audio device, which the A-200 connects to via 35mm headphone jack.
