- Amazon Basics USB-Powered Computer Speakers with Volume Control for Desktop or Laptop PC, Compact Size, Headphone Jack, Portable, Plug-N-Play, Black

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!

These are honestly the best speakers I’ve had in a long time without spending a lot of money. Before buying these, I tried a couple of other speakers from the same platform, but I had to return them because the sound was noisy and not clear at all. Since I’ve always had good experiences with Amazon products, I decided to try these Amazon Basics speakers, and I’m really glad I did. They sound very good. Of course, they don’t have a subwoofer, but the sound is still very clear. Even when you increase the volume, the audio remains clean and strong. Since they are desktop speakers, they sit close to you, which makes them sound even better. The volume knob feels premium and very solid when you turn it. Overall, the speakers feel very well made. I especially like that the front is metallic instead of fabric. I’m not a fan of fabric on speakers because it tends to collect dust and get damaged over time. I’ve even accidentally knocked them off my desk a couple of times, and despite some good bumps, they still work perfectly. Nothing has broken, bent, or stopped working. I really like them and I think I’ll keep them for a long time. In fact, I’ve already had them for quite a while and they’re still going strong.

These budget friendly speakers seemed like the perfect replacements for a PC that needed new speakers, and because they are AC powered, not by a USB port which are in short supply on the old PC I needed them for. When they arrived, I was a little taken back by how small they were. The picture on the webpage makes them look much bigger. I was concerned that they would have very poor sound due to the size. But after hooking them up and using them, all concerns left. For the size and budget friendly price, they performed fantastically well. I was concerned that using AC to power them would result in the dreaded 60Hz hum. Because these speakers perform so well I was never able to turn the power up past half way and no hum was ever present. The bass response was quite impressive. Would audiophiles be happy with these? No, not at all, but they are great for what they are intended for. So, why, if I find them to perform so well did I only rate them with four stars? Because the AC line-cord and audio cable are way too short! I was just able to plug in the line-cord but needed an extension cable for the audio. I would have gladly paid the few pennies more it would take to lengthen the cord and cable a couple of feet or so. A serious short coming in my opinion.

I bought these powered speakers computer speakers for an unconventional to use with my Crosley C6B turntable! And, as cheap beginner speakers they work fantastically!!! (All I had to do is buy an extra cord that lets me connect the right and left audio to a single 3.5mm aux port.) The sound quality on these speakers is pretty good for the price and is very loud! I also absolutely love the fact that I can adjust the volume on the speakers themselves, with the built-in controll buttons and don't have to buy extra equipment to do so. And, while they aren't the prettiest to look at, they fit the small awkward space on my turntable shelf perfectly with room to spare! So, in total I would absolutely recommend these speakers to anyone else wanting to use them for this unconventional purpose or as just normal computer speakers!!!!!! 😁

These were very easy to connect, worked out of the box and provide excellent sound for everyday work on my PC. They are not audiophile speakers, but fine for listening to DIY videos, Sports on You Tube, background music, ZOOM calls, video conferences etc.

Like the title says, these are relatively cheap, but the audio is good. It can't get super loud so you can't blast music from them. But for gaming it's a good cheap choice

La relación calidad precio es estupenda, suenan bastante bien

I use these speakers mostly for for text-to-speech. I copy and paste my fiction chapters into a reading program and listen to them so I can get ideas for revisions and notice errors. Voices are very clear. These speakers also have pretty good sound for music if you don't want to blast it. Much better sound than what my computer produces. Speakers don't tip over easily because they are heaver and not so tall as my previous speakers that got knocked over just by shifting items around on my desk. Jack for headphones in the front of one speaker is very convenient. My computer desk is small, so I keep the one with the jack and volume knob underneath, sitting on the CPU. The other is on my desktop. I highly recommend these speakers.

今使っている液晶モニターはスピーカーが付いているのですが、音が鳴っているだけで満足できるものではありませんでした。Amazonベーシックで探したところこちらの商品が見つかりました。USB給電でサイズもコンパクトで邪魔になりません。音質はフラットで聞きやすい感じです。音量はスピーカー1カ所あたり1．1ワットなので控えめです。 3.5mmのイヤホンジャックが付いているところも気が利いています。 価格的には1000円ちょっとですので大変リーズナブルです。 大音量は出せませんがよい製品だと思います。
