   Work, cheap, last
   Had these speakers for 3 years and they’re just now starting to go- but not terribly they’re just kinda at that point aux port sound devices get where they start buzzing and you gotta wiggle the aux cable a little bit to get them to stop. And like I said it took 3 years for that to happen so it’s still a win
   Now I’m not an audiophile or whatever so if you’re one of those people, well I dunno I play games and they sound good and I listen to a lot of metal and classical music and they sound good
   Time to get a new set
   The only downside I’d say is the light is really really bright, though most speakers like this with the singular light are- so maybe a little paper and tape if it’s gonna be somewhere in your line of sight
   My standards for speakers are pretty simple;
   does it sound good to me? Check
   Did they last 2 years+? Check
   Can the volume go up enough for me who has a lot of hearing damage (and then some)? Check
   Can they survive being knocked off my desk by a cat? Check
   Do they not have that weird tuna can sound? Check

   Nice for the price
   I’m pretty impressed with these little guys. Nice sound for under $30. Of course, you’re not going to get studio quality sound, but you didn’t pay for that. Pro tip: If you get these up off the desk, to about eye level, you’ll be impressed with the sound quality.

   Good speakers for dialog but not so good for music as expected
   For the price they can’t be beat if you don’t want to listen to music. Only other drawback is wire connecting speakers is too short, maybe four feet. if you want to out your speaker’s father apart, say on each end of your desk, you can’t. Besides this they work fine and are easy to set up. Plug & Play

   great little speakers
   these turned out to be really good speaker. i was looking for a good quality soudn without breaking the bank now these arent harman kardon speaker or anything like. but they carry a good quality have a great volume for just casual music or listening to videos. they have a good left and right balance if you place them well enough could use a little more bass in them but overall great deal for the package you get.

   Work decently, not good for long term
   Been fairly happy with these computer speakers for the last four months or so, got ’em in August. Here in January they have suddenly died, though – they still turn on, but no sound comes through besides some static if I turn it all the way up. Other devices work in the same headphone jack, issue persisted through a reboot, so its not a software issue or something with the computer. They just gave up the ghost.
   Three stars ’cause well, they only lasted four months – of daily usage for about 6-12 hours a day, so definitely heavy usage. On the other hand, they were cheap, easy to get going, so…. just want some basic speakers to get you by for a bit, here ya go. Want something that’ll last, look elsewhere apparently.

   $10.97 for Basic Computer Speakers – Good Quality Considering Rock Bottom Price
   This is a “stripped down” very basic pair of speakers for your laptop, Chromebook or PC. For only $10.97 I did not expect much, but this is actually pretty good quality considering it cost a mere $10.97. These are ONLY for listening when you are sitting within 5-6 feet of your laptop, Chromebook or PC and NOT for listening on the opposite side of the room 20-30 feet away. No biggie – cos what do you expect for merely $10.97?
   It has a very simple volume control knob. A 3rd grade kid could figure out how to install these speakers. I didn’t even need to read the instruction book! I just opened the box, pulled out the packaging and popped in the USB plug, the round, long prong and put it into the internal socket on my Chromebook. Then I quickly inserted the 3rd peripheral into my Chromebook plug, turned on the volume to full blast and BINGO! I had really clear volume instantly.
   Later on I read the warranty info and owners manual. Not much really to study since this is definitely “Bare Bones” “strippe down” very basic PC, laptop, Chromebook speakers. This is a sold, very low priced pair of speakers good for increasing the volume on your computer to listen to You Tube videos, streaming video. Let’s face it – the speakers that come pre-installed on most Chromebooks, PC’s and laptops are pretty weak. If you want louder quality audio – this is a pretty nifty “stripped down basic” pair of speakers for a rock bottom price.
   I was listening to a PBS streaming video documentary on Maria Callas – the late, great, brilliant opera diva from the 1950’s – 1960’s and the sound quality of Maria Callas operatic solos was crystal clear. I could also clearly hear the symphony orchestra in the background accompanying Maria Callas in her world class tour de force performance at La Scala in Italy and the Met Opera way back in the late 1950’s – early 1960’s.
   If you are on a really tight budget and want to oomph up the audio volume on your laptop, PC or Chromebook you get a LOT of “bang for your buck”. Don’t expect any fancy “Bells and Whistles”. There is a basic, simple audio volume control knob on one of the speakers – but it does the job!
   I highly recommend it!
   IT was quite well packaged with a LOT of durable protective cardboard packaging inside specifically designed to cushion both speakers. I just wish Amazon would GET THERE ACT TOGETHER AND FOR GOODNESS SAKE STOP INCLUDING THE TOTALLY UNECCESSARY PLASTIC BAG that cannot be recycled. Amazon brags TOO MUCH about being so-called “Green” and environmentally friendly but that is NOT TRUE! The box the speakers came in was MORE than sufficient for the packaging. Amazon shipped this direct from their warehouse and insisted on including a COMPLETELY UNCESSESSARY PLASTIC BAG that cannot be recycled and will wind up in the ocean’s Plastic Gyre or toxic dump landfill.
   AMAZON GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER and eliminate completely uncessary plastic bag packaging! Also for goodness sake ELIMINATE that darn bubble wrap plastic cushioning. These speakers came in a very sturdy box from the factory that already included a very durable specially molded cardboard cushioning object that was quite sturdy THE PLASTIC BAG THAT CANNOT BE RECYCLED WAS 100% UNCESSESSARY.
   I decided awhile ago to ORDER LESS FROM AMAZON because they allege they are “Green” but their packaging is excessive – too much plastic and bad for the environment!

   Impressive!
   These are ten watt speakers which outplay both tinny Mac speakers and insipid 3 watt USB speakers. They use AC power and the mini headphone jack so don’t waste an USB port. (Despite being one of 100,000,000 users each having a collection of a dozen or more USB devices you will find that your new computer will only come with those tiny fragile USB-C ports, so get used to not having enough ports.) They don’t have a clunky transformer to block three recepticles on a power strip, just a plain slim two prong 110 volt plug.
   Sound is good enough for MP3. These aren’t marketed as Hi Fi speakers but digital audio isn’t Hi Fi. They are true stereo however, as good as anything people could afford to listen to back when Hi Fi players cost a hundred dollars (the equivalent of 2500 modern dollars). And despite what your grandmother remembers about her Hi Fi player, those old LPs had a lot of needle noise and static, which these speakers don’t have.

   Good speakers if you’re looking for something that makes noise and is cheap.
   They don’t get very loud, but at this price you shouldn’t expect them to. The sound is about as good as you’d expect for speakers of this size for this price.

   La calidad general de los altovoces es buena, buen nivel de volumen, buena calidad de materiales (como acostumbra Amazon Basics), la calidad de audio es buena, pero sin ser sobresaliente, el audio es un tanto opaco para mi gusto, pero por el precio es algo de lo que no se puede uno quejar, en este rango de precios son los mejores altavoces para PC.

    Ville ha mindre högtalare till min laptop och dessa var as bra ljud i. Brukar oftast spela Spotify eller youtube. Inget att klaga över.
