Black USB-Powered Computer Speakers for Desktop or Laptop PC from Amazon Basics Review

Easy installation. The speakers are small but produce a good sound. Both speakers are connected with a thick wire; not the flimsy cheap kind. The main speaker has another similar cable that branches out: one for the audio jack (green) and USB for power. Drivers are not required. Reason: A cheap pair I bought at a flea market in 2011 for $10 died for good. Considering how long they've lasted, I can't complain. You won't get super loud sound or high bass/treble. In my opinion, the average is the…

Decent sound quality for this size and it's nice that there isn't a wart on the wall. Also a nice basic look in matte black. Cons: (1) The blue LED is too bright. I will cover it with black tape. (2) Light weight and rigid cables make it difficult to place speakers vertically on a table. Cables tend to pull on them. These speakers are smaller than they look. Read the dimensions.

These speakers are really great. The sound quality is really good, especially for the price. I was looking for small speakers that could be connected to a computer at work and have a headphone jack on the front. The only really small downside is that the front light is very bright. Bit annoying so I just taped it on. Problem solved. I definitely recommend it.

Pro: 1: Easy installation. Disadvantages: 1: Blue light, the fight is real. Even with tape, it's blinding. 2: Volume is nonsense. At maximum volume, the sound is about the same as my iMac's built-in speakers. 3. If you leave them on with no sound, they will start making a high-pitched tone that will increase in volume until you turn them off. That means every time I stop using my computer, I have to turn off the speakers to keep from losing my mind. THE WORST PRODUCT I HAVE EVER BOUGHT. It's…

I wanted an external speaker that was louder than my laptop. I start my sewing machine while watching TV on my laptop. They won't work, it's just above a whisper even at max volume. I will be sending them back and buying them from bricks and mortar where I can hook them up to see how they work first. They appear to be of good quality; no instructions were given to them. They plug in and work, but I didn't move the headphone jack far enough so they didn't seem to work at first.

I was looking for simple, inexpensive speakers for my desktop computer. These fit except for one thing not shown in the photos. It has a blue LED, which is more than a little distracting. If I had known that, I would have refused the purchase. Now that I have them I'm going to cover this LED with a piece of tape because it's distracting. I don't really know why that little blue LED has to be so bright, but otherwise I would have given those 5 stars.

These speakers looked great but the left speaker was loud and static right out of the box. It was very frustrating dealing with returns and hassles. Update: the new pair work great but the presence of a product returns code meant defective items had to be sent to the store rather than being picked up by the UPS courier. The store was 40 km away! Luckily I still had to go into town; Otherwise it would be a BIG problem. Better just print the label and UPS will pick it up!

When the device is turned on and the volume is increased by more than 10%, a high level of noise is heard. If I crank my computer's volume all the way up, it's busy enough for an office environment, while keeping the speaker volume low enough not to get feedback. The 3.55mm through channel is not very good. I have headphones at a moderate price and the quality straight from the computer is excellent. When I plug them into a speaker the quality sucks and the volume has to stay low or I hear a…
