Review on Dell AS501 Speaker Ultrasharp Monitors by Gene Taylor

They did exactly what I wanted - adequate sound for listening to podcasts on my very small desk in a very small room without wart wall . I paid around $50 for it, which I think is a bit high, but the sound is decent (not amazing - don't expect an audiophile experience, but exceeded my expectations). The fact that they can be powered from a USB port on my PC is very convenient and they are small with no aggressive branding.
