  • Our take on the HP S101

    The HP S101 is a tiny desktop soundbar, about 10.8 inches wide and 0.7 lb, that connects through a 3.5 mm headphone jack or USB-A. Its 2.6 W total output and 140 Hz–20 kHz range make it a modest step up from laptop speakers, not a home theater bar. It has no HDMI, no ARC, no subwoofer and no surround processing, so it suits a desk, a small monitor or a bedroom TV with a headphone output. Against full-size soundbars it is far smaller and simpler, and owners rate it around 4.3 out of 5 for exactly that role.

    Pros
    • Very compact and light at 0.7 lb
    • Plugs into a 3.5 mm jack or USB-A, no drivers or app
    • Simple one-piece design with no subwoofer to place
    • Clearer than built-in laptop and monitor speakers at low volume
    Cons
    • Only 2.6 W total, so it won't fill a living room
    • Bass is limited; the range starts at 140 Hz with no subwoofer
    • No HDMI, ARC, optical input or Bluetooth
    • No surround, DSP, calibration or voice control

    What reviewers say

    • 4.3 / 551 ratings

    Owners rate the S101 well for what it is: a small, cheap-feeling but easy desk speaker that beats laptop audio. Complaints center on volume ceiling and thin bass rather than defects.

    What people mention
    • SizePraisedOwners like how little space it takes up on a desk or shelf.
    • SetupPraisedReviewers say it works as soon as it is plugged into the headphone jack.
    • VolumeCriticisedBuyers report it runs out of loudness in larger rooms.
    • BassCriticisedThe low end is thin, with no subwoofer and a range that starts at 140 Hz.
    • ConnectivityMixedThe 3.5 mm and USB-A inputs are convenient for computers, but there is no Bluetooth or HDMI.

    Questions and answers

    Is the HP S101 good for a TV?
    Only for a small TV with a headphone output. It has no HDMI, ARC or optical input, and 2.6 W is too little for a living room.
    Does it need a power adapter?
    It draws power over its USB-A connection, so it needs a powered USB port or a USB power adapter rather than a battery.
    Does it have Bluetooth?
    No. The only inputs are a 3.5 mm headphone jack and USB-A, so it works with wired sources only.
    How does it compare with a full-size soundbar?
    It is far smaller and simpler. A full-size bar adds HDMI, more power and often a subwoofer, while the S101 is built for a desk.
    Can I add a subwoofer to it?
    No. There is no subwoofer output and no bass management, so the low end is fixed by the built-in drivers.
    Where is the HP S101 cheapest?
    At Newegg, for $82.29, as of our latest check.
    What do buyers say about the HP S101?
    Rated 4.3 out of 5 from 51 ratings.
    Where can I buy the HP S101?
