Wonderful speaker for my Desktop
These Amazon Basics Stereo 2.0 Speakers are absolutely fantastic! The sound quality is clear and crisp, with just the right amount of bass. I love the sleek silver design that complements my setup perfectly. The volume control is very convenient, and the 3.5mm Aux input makes it easy to connect to my devices. Plus, being USB-powered means no hassle with additional power cords. Overall, I highly recommend these speakers for anyone looking for a reliable and affordable audio solution for their PC or laptop.

good for small speakers
These speakers are a replacement for the lousy speakers I’ve had in monitors lately. They’re inexpensive, have reasonably good sound and power for their size, are powered from a USB-C port, and plug into a headphone jack. They don’t have much bass, but really with 2-3/4 inch speakers, what can you expect. They’re clear without being too trebly. For what I need, which is a pair of small, clear speakers that fit under the edge of my monitor, I couldn’t ask for more.

almost perfect
I recently got my hands on the Amazon Basics Speakers, and I must say, they have been an impressive addition to my setup. These speakers come close to perfection, offering a blend of aesthetics and performance that I truly appreciate.Let’s start with the design. The Amazon Basics Speakers have a sleek and modern appearance that effortlessly complements any setup. I particularly love the silver finish, which gives them a premium look and adds a touch of elegance to my desk or entertainment area. Additionally, the blue LED light at the bottom is a nice touch, serving as a subtle yet stylish indicator that the speakers are powered and ready to go.Sound-wise, these speakers do not disappoint. They produce a clear and balanced sound that enhances my audio experience. The highs are crisp, the mids are well-defined, and the bass, while not earth-shattering, is surprisingly adequate for speakers of this size. Whether I’m watching movies, listening to music, or playing games, the audio quality remains consistent and enjoyable.The Amazon Basics Speakers are fairly loud, but I must admit, I wish they could crank up the volume a bit more. For most everyday scenarios, the volume level is perfectly adequate and fills my room with sound. However, during more dynamic moments in movies or when hosting a party, I sometimes find myself yearning for a little more oomph. Nevertheless, for the average user, the volume range should be more than sufficient.One feature that stood out to me is the ease of use. These speakers were straightforward to set up, requiring minimal effort to get them working. I simply connected them to my device via the included audio cable, and I was immediately immersed in quality sound. The plug-and-play functionality is convenient, saving time and making them accessible to all users, regardless of technical expertise.Undoubtedly, one of the most appealing aspects of the Amazon Basics Speakers is their price point. At such an affordable cost, they provide remarkable value for the money. Finding speakers with a sleek design, decent sound quality, and added aesthetics like the blue LED light, at this price range, is quite a steal.In conclusion, the Amazon Basics Speakers are an excellent choice for anyone seeking a near-perfect balance of aesthetics and performance. Their silver finish and blue LED light add a touch of sophistication to any setup, making them visually appealing. The sound quality is good, though a little more volume would have been ideal. Nonetheless, they are more than loud enough for most users and deliver an enjoyable listening experience. The easy setup and budget-friendly price further solidify their position as a top-notch choice. If you’re looking for a reliable and stylish set of speakers that won’t break the bank, the Amazon Basics Speakers are definitely worth considering. They have earned my recommendation, and I believe they will make a welcome addition to any audio setup.

These little speakers are awesome!
I bought these to use with a 2015 macbook that has poor quality speakers. They have a nice weight to them, and wayyyy better sound quality than I expected for the price point (I’m a musician, but coming from only using laptop speakers, phone speakers, and airpods most of the time).Basically good bass response for most types of music other than trap and EDM (some EDM sounds decent though, 10:35 by Tiesto was pretty good). Jazz, classical, pop, rock all have pretty solid frequency coverage. Much fuller sound than most laptop speakers. Put them on a solid table and the bass will get even better as the table becomes a large resonator. Honestly no complaints!Video conferencing is great with these if you don’t like wearing headphones while speaking like me, and this was another reason for my purchase. People’s voices are much fuller in the mids and easier to understand. If you’re looking for cheap, solid speakers for casual music consumption, youtube, and video conferencing, I highly recommend them. If you need higher quality desk speakers with lots of bass or precise monitoring for music production, obviously these would not be a good choice.One note is you may find the blue underlighting distracting at night. Would prefer if you could turn that off. Also, they require a USB A connection for power, so this may require an adapter for newer computers.

An inexpensive solution for sound
I recently got a new desktop computer. The monitor I bought with it claimed to have speakers. Unfortunately, the internal speakers for that monitor must have been created for mice because it took putting my head on the monitor and cranking my computer’s volume speakers to 100 for me to hear anything.These speakers were highly rated and recommended as Amazon’s choice. They are compact and fit nicely on both sides of my monitor without taking up much space.Setting them up wasn’t difficult once I mastered the computer’s volume system, equalizer, and sound test. However, I have tinnitus, so low/quiet sounds are hard to hear.There are two places to plug in: one is a USB port on the back of the computer that operates the power for the speakers, and the other plugs into the headphone jack on the front of my desktop.The sound quality is amazing. I don’t have to turn up the volume very high to hear. The volume is set at a comfortable 12. Do not use the shortcut keys on the keyboard to control the volume. Use the volume control settings on the Computer’s taskbar.Bonus: They have a pretty blue glow to them once they’re turned on.

This was to replace my work speakers that would crackle when I’d turn the volume knob, buzz if I had my phone too close to it, and the sound wasn’t linear. This thing is good, small, crisp, linear volume. Good bang for the buck. I don’t need any bass since it would carry through the wall that I share with a colleague. I don’t need the blue light but I can’t turn it off, but it’s not worth taking off a star for.

Para ser unos speakers económicos son de excelente calidad, tanto de construcción como el sonido.Son ligeramente pesados, dando la sensación de que los materiales son de calidad salvo el cable para conectarlos, es delgado y frágil, no recomiendo manipularlo mucho.En cuanto al sonido, me sorprendió lo fuerte y nÃtido que se escuchan, incluso con el volumen al máximo la distorsión de audio es poca.Hay que conectarlos mediante cable USB, además del cable auxiliar, para que enciendan. Tienen una luz azul tenue que no puede modificarse ni quitarse, pero al menos a mà nunca me han causado molestia, se ven muy bien.En general, son muy buenos para lo que cuestan.

I need speakers for my BenQ monitor on my MacMini and tried these. They are surprisingly good for the size and cost.
