USB Mini Speaker Computer Speaker Powered Stereo Multimedia Speaker for Notebook Laptop PC(Black)

If you know what these are for, then they can be the perfect product. They are not meant to be gaming audio or a full-featured solution for audio connoisseurs.This product is designed to be a self-contained, streamlined, and convenient way to get acceptable audio onto something that otherwise does not have it. This product is cheap. This product is tiny. Unrealistic expectations heaped on this is beyond absurd.I got this for a very specific setup. I run several virtual machines on my desktop computer for several reasons. One of these virtual machines is devoted to acting like a metronome and accompaniment for my guitar learning process. I wanted a separate audio circuit that could be eliminated in an emergency, independently controlled, required no difficult setup, and that was totally separate from my voice conferencing and other audio applications AND that was not too loud.This product was PERFECT for this. I needed sound I could hear that was "OK". That is EXACTLY what I got.I can hear my practice tones and practice along with midi files. The quality of sound is good enough to tell if I'm in tune or not. The volume is good enough for me to hear it but is not going to drown out my more important audio coming in. I needed to install NO DRIVERS in Linux or Windows -- both work with it just as easily. I bet other operating systems are just as comfy with it.So, for me, this is a PERFECT product.I am not you. We may need very different things.But, I was not looking for high-end or audiophile quality. I was not looking for this to act as my only audio system. I was not looking for anything very loud.KEEP IN MIND THE FOLLOWING:1) Tiny speakers are physically incapable of producing bass tones. These speakers are tiny. If you expect these to be as good for audio fidelity as a conventional computer speaker, then please be informed that this expectation will not be met and is actually impossible.2) There are no buttons or controls on this unit. This is by design and is an advantage in some situations. If you want something with a volume wheel or a button, look elsewhere. This was designed to eliminate clutter and excess. If you value other features or functions over how easy and simple this is, then look elsewhere.3) These speakers depend on your operating system to have its USB system running properly. Without a properly running USB bus, they are dead in the water. Do not get these speakers if you are not perfectly sure that your computer's USB systems are running correctly.

Very nice speakers! Though the range is not exceptionally high, there is some reduction of background noise on input! That's great, because now road noise of some creators is less of a problem And, the speakers increase the sound capacity beyond what my usual computer/laptop speakers can handle - another longed for benefit! Would buy again! USB powered.

As expected, the sound quality isn't perfect. It distorts at high volume. But, if you listen at a medium volume, it works great.I listen to my music and watch video on alternate devices, and not my computer. I got sick of having big and bulky speakers with 3 or more wires all over my workspace, and a huge power plug clogging up my power strip. This is small, simple, and ONE wire to my computer, with no AC plug. Perfect for what I needed, and no clutter. And, I can use it with my raspberry pi when I work with sound on it, too. That's a bonus.

I needed a tiny speaker for a spare PC. I didn't need high quality audiophile speakers - just something for hearing reasonable audio. I wanted it very small and this was ideal. I plugged it into my Windows 10 PC, it recognized it and started working immiediately. It was ten bucks and is tiny so set your expectations approrpiately. But, itwas actually quite nice. Works well, sounds good for its size

Nah, don't bother purchasing. Sound is horrible. I had my computer sound set to 100 and could not even be heard in office next to mine. Sound is there but it was so garbled and there was so much trash in the sound.What a waste of money and my time unpacking it.

Many (most?) Toshiba laptops have a known defect where the sound chip begins overheating- the defect doesn't kick in until after the warranty expires. When the sound chip overheats it cuts out. Normally the only "fix" is to use the headphone jack as a workaround.These mini speakers aren't just speakers, they have a built-in PC sound card. This means you only need to connect the speakers to a USB port and it provides the sound, amplification, and speaker function, so it is a good all-in-one solution to restoring sound to a laptop, tablet, or other device where the on-board sound has quit working. Other similar products require a hookup to both USB port and headphone jack- not a good solution if your headphone jack is already worn out or if your sound chip is bad and/or put into a Toshiba product. Before I found this we had to use a bluetooth solution with an external speaker with batteries etc it was just too much effort when all we wanted was a simple cheap plug-and-play solution like this.The speakers do not deliver a rich immersive bass-thumping surround sound experience, nor was I expecting it to at this price point and the limited power available to any USB port. The speakers sounded exactly like I expected them to, in fact even a little louder than I was expecting. They sound pretty much like the original Toshiba laptop speaker. Except unlike a Toshiba product, these work!This was exactly the cheap solution I was looking for to restore sound to a crappy Toshiba product.
