I love this speaker’s the sound quality is amazing. Very nice looking on desk and size is just perfect for daily use. Perfect for desktop pc or laptop. It is a must have product.
I’m no audiophile, but these little speakers are well worth the price. I used them for YouTube videos mainly and they provide clear and crisp sound.
Only downside is that blue power light, it really does light up a room!
Bought these for a monitor that didn’t have speakers, didn’t want to pay much so I got these. No issues with setup just plug in and had to change audio source on pc that’s it. Fairly loud but no fancy stuff. Small and compact, only downside is the really bright blue led on the front but I just put a tiny bit of masking tape over it and coloured it black and it’s gone. A sticker over the other to cover brand logo also.
Overall good for the price, worth it.
Good value for money with surprisingly good sound performance for the price. A lot of cheap speakers can sound really muddy but I was pleasantly surprised by these. Useful to have a physical volume control too.
Easy set up. Remember to check if you have a spare USB port before you buy ! I had just one. Has the quality of my very SONY speakers. I cannot fault them for the price.
These are not HIFI speakers, but they are great value for money speakers that produce a decent sound for not very much money. So if you’re looking for HIFI quality – look elsewhere, but if you’re looking for a decent sound at a budget price, these could be the ones you’re looking for.
tl,dr: Amazon has their priorities right for a “Basic” product, the audio and cosmetic design are the outstanding features, the packaging was superb, and everything else is incredibly cheap and low-quality. Very good product for a low-budget scenario that doesn’t require audio reproductive accuracy.
Drawback – the blue LED power light is VERY bright and distracting to have on a desk. I’ve had to put tape over it as it’s too brigh
What a difference! Obviously, I’m younger than I thought and can now hear both low and mid-frequency conversations and even music. (My ears are well past high frequency reception, but my youngest grandson tells me that the speakers sound o.k.)
Don’t rush out and buy these speakers – take your time and don’t take the word of an audio geriatric like me. If you have lots of money then spend as you see fit, but if expensive is not your favourite word then this little pair of speakers could suit you nicely.
I have one of those odd Samsung TV’s that doesn’t heave a headphone out socket only an optical. I purchased a Digital to Analogue converter that had a headphone socket. I had a preamp at this point.
I got these speakers for my TV. They are perfect, they sit either side, slightly wider and makes the Amazon Firestick s 4k stereo sound brilliant for the price.
I can’t recommend these enough. They look cool unbranded too which is a bonus in my opinion. And of course they have a headphone out! These speakers completed this little sound solution for me. The output is plenty for any room. The overall sound from them is preset, and it’s a good solid sound. You can increase the stereo of your tv by placing these further apart. For the money and my needs absolutely no complaints.
I bought these to listen to Spotify through my phone. They are pretty decent speakers for that purpose, they have a volume control on one speaker. I have to set it at almost full, and the same with my phone volume to get a loud sound otherwise it’s too low. The sound quality from the speakers is decent, not too thin or toppy. I would recommend these speakers as the sound is pretty good and the price is good value 17, if you need really loud though you might be disappointed, but for bedroom or kitchen, casual listening these are good.
Suprisingly good sound quality and excellent volume for Basic speakers. I am hard of hearing and my desktop PC speakers are just not loud enough, so I purchased these Amazon Basics plug in speakers. I mostly listen to news, podcasts and audio books. Excellent, adjustable volume level now, with no background humming, buzzing, or crackling at higher volume levels. Also, MP3 music tracks and Youtube videos sounds good. The speakers are sturdy, well made and of sleek, modern design. For the price, these speakers are good value. My only gripe is that the mains power lead supplied is only 1 metre long and the plug only just reached my AC mains plug outlet.
Using them with a desktop computer for general use and games : sound quality seems good (though I haven’t whacked them up very loud ) . The only problem I have is that they are physically very top heavy – using in a small space at the moment and they keep falling over and off the table – solved it by lying them down and tucking under the monitor but still a pain. Would be better if they had an on off switch independent of the volume knob – have been caught out thinking I had no audio with zoom calls because they aren’t up high enough after turning them back on (my fault entirely but easy when you ‘re in a hurry) .
If you’re only after a small cheap speaker, then these will do the job. Considering the size and price, they’re good. You’ll not get any base sound from them of course, but they are clear and sound fine. If you want to play quality music through them, look elsewhere. As a PC general purpose speaker, for system sounds, the occasional YouTube video playback etc, perfect, much better than built-in speakers in a monitor for instance. There is no external PSU brick, the mains cord goes directly to the RIGHT speaker. There’s nothing written on either speaker to state which is left or right though, I had to test to find out. One thing to note, the speaker did pick up the bud-a-bud-a-bud-a-bud noise from my mobile phone if left close to it.
