The XKX XKX098B is a compact 2.0 computer speaker system finished in black. It draws power and audio over a single USB connection and includes a built-in USB-C to USB adapter for newer laptops and tablets. Touch-sensitive buttons on the top panel handle volume and mute functions.

Suits USB-only desktops and modern USB-C portables

This speaker works with Windows, macOS, ChromeOS and Linux machines that provide a USB-A or USB-C port. It is not suited for buyers who need an analogue audio input, wireless streaming, a separate subwoofer, or higher output power. Monitors and TVs are explicitly listed as incompatible devices.

8-watt total RMS power from dual dynamic drivers

Each satellite delivers 8 watts RMS, giving a combined 8-watt rating across the pair. The frequency response is specified at 20 kHz. A front-facing passive radiator assists low-frequency reproduction in the 1.8 by 7.2 by 2.2 inch enclosure weighing 0.39 kilograms.

Questions about this item

How do I install the USB-C adapter on a laptop that only has USB-C ports?

Plug the built-in USB-C to USB adapter into the laptop's USB-C port, then connect the speaker's USB plug into the adapter. The step people miss is inserting the speaker's USB plug fully into the adapter before expecting sound.

Will the touch controls or drivers need replacement over time?

The touch control panel has no moving parts to wear out, and the dynamic drivers are sealed units with no user-serviceable components. No periodic maintenance or part replacement is required for this speaker.

What limits sustained loud playback on this 8W sound bar?

The 8 watt total power rating and passive radiator design limit maximum output before distortion appears during extended high-volume sessions.
