We had a chance to tinker with the device, and largely, we agree with what has already been said. It&#8217;s a perfectly fine cushion for using your laptop while kicking back on the sofa, but the bass-less speaker leaves a lot to be desired. It&#8217;s set to ship to sofa sitters this April for $79.99, and if you&#8217;re interested in the $39.99 to $49.99 Notebook Sleeve, $49.99 Notebook SoundBar and a variety of other peripherals that now have a stateside release in their future, the full details are posted after the break.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/philips-cushionspeaker-coming-to-america\/\">Philips CushionSpeaker coming to America<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/philips-cushionspeaker-coming-to-america\/2566227\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2009\/12\/philips-cushionspeaker-(16)_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/philips-cushionspeaker-coming-to-america\/2566228\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2009\/12\/philips-cushionspeaker_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/philips-cushionspeaker-coming-to-america\/2566229\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2009\/12\/philips-cushionspeaker-(1)_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/philips-cushionspeaker-coming-to-america\/2566230\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2009\/12\/philips-cushionspeaker-(2)_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/philips-cushionspeaker-coming-to-america\/2566231\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2009\/12\/philips-cushionspeaker-(3)_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2010\/01\/05\/philips-cushionspeaker-coming-to-america-this-april-for-80\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>Philips CushionSpeaker coming to America this April for $80<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2010\/01\/05\/philips-cushionspeaker-coming-to-america-this-april-for-80\/\">Philips CushionSpeaker coming to America this April for $80<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\">Engadget<\/a> on Tue, 05 Jan 2010 06:01:00 EST.
