Amazon Basics PC Speakers Stereo 2.0 for Desktop, 3.5mm Input, USB-Powered, Black

Very impressed with these Amazon Basics Stereo 2.0 Speakers for PC or Laptop. They are compact and do not take up much desk space, but despite the small size they actually feel surprisingly heavy, which gives a much better sense of quality and sturdiness compared to many cheap lightweight speakers. Setup could not have been easier — literally plug and play. I connected them to my monitor and PS5 using the 3.5mm aux input and they worked instantly without needing any software, drivers or adjustments. The USB-powered setup is also convenient as it avoids needing a separate power adapter. Volume control is a scroll button easy to use too. Sound quality is honestly much better than expected for the size and price. Clear audio, decent volume and enough bass for everyday use, gaming and watching videos. I mainly use them for gaming and they perform really well, especially considering how compact they are. Dialogue is clear and game audio sounds full and balanced rather than tinny. They are obviously not high-end surround sound speakers, but for a simple desktop or console setup they are excellent value for money. Reliable, easy to use and surprisingly good sounding little speakers. Very happy with the purchase.

I don't really write many reviews for things but I felt that this time it was a must. I bought these little speakers after buying a sound bar from Amazon for about £15. Sadly when it arrived I unpacked it and threw away the packaging. It was a massive disappointment because the only thing that worked on it were the multi coloured lights it was like a child's fairground ride minus the music. I couldn't send it back because all of the packaging was gone and postage costs from where I live didn't justify the amount compared to the price of the soundboard. I really wasn't expecting too much when I ordered these tiny twin speakers despite reading the reviews. But happily I was so wrong in my negative thinking. They are literally plug in and play. The minute I plugged them in and heard a little crackle when the jack went in. So I didn't want to get too excited but I immediately went on to ITunes and tested a song. They have great sound and are small enough to sit under the moniter either side. The volume control is easy and it's no worse than having an on /off switch on a lamp. The lights at the bottom are pretty inoffensive compared to the non working soundboard and I don't think I will be too bothered by them. All in all a great buy for a reasonably low cost. And because I'm old school I just haven't been able to get into the pairing Bluetooth thing that my daughter seems to like. So I've given her back the one she loaned me plus another brand new one I had as a gift. I'm so happy to have music again. Thanks Amazon I may even buy a bacj up pair.

Good little budget speakers for everyday use These Amazon Basics PC speakers are a good option if you just need a simple, affordable pair of speakers for a desk setup, laptop, or PC. They are not going to replace a proper speaker system, but for the price, they do the job well. They are especially useful if you do not always want to wear headphones while gaming, watching videos, or listening to basic audio. The sound is clear enough for casual use, and they are loud enough for a small room or desk area. I also like the light when they are switched on, as it adds a nice bit of style to the setup rather than making them look completely plain. I have given them 4 stars because they are not perfect. The sound is good for the size and price, but you should not expect deep bass or premium audio quality. They are best for everyday use, not for anyone looking for powerful music speakers. They are wired, and need to be plugged in, so the portability of them is poor. The base of the speaker is stable and comes with grip mats attached. Overall, I would recommend them if you need a quick, inexpensive speaker upgrade and want something small, simple, and decent-looking.

Great little pair of speakers for when working from home and doing teams meetings etc. Easy to set up, plug in and your away. Pretty good sound when playing music as well. A must buy if your working from home and don’t want to lump big bucks on branded speakers

These are really great. A good weight out of the box, nice and solid, bodes well. Very neat. Cable sufficient for desk. Easy to move about with my laptop. More to that point they sound very good. Clear but not thin. Tidy bass, obviously can't compare with bigger units with separate woofer (like the Creatives I have with a desktop computer). But these have very good sound and enough volume to enjoy the range of music genres I have tried with them today. Having been very disappointed with various returned desk sound bars up to about the £30 level these are in a different league, surprisingly good and just brilliant value. Highly recommended.

I grabbed these Amazon Basics speakers as a simple upgrade for my laptop/desk setup, and they do exactly what they promise. The first thing you notice is the build quality is better than expected for the price - they feel weighty, durable and well build and they have a unintrusive but cool looking blue glowing light around the base. Sound quality is clear for what I use: YouTube, Games, Music, with all general audio all sounding pretty crisp and punchy. They’re not designed for cinematic sound but for basic stereo speakers they perform really well. Volume is decent, and there’s no noticeable distortion at higher levels. Power wise they connect to a standard USB plug with stereo audio going through a 3.5mm audio jack. Cable length will easily reach the far ends of your typical office desk layout. My only small complaint is the in-line volume control dial, it's not really needed as you can simply use the PC volume control and the control itself is a bit tricky to tuck away out of sight. Still, for the price I'm very pleasantly surprised, they outperformed my expectations on sound quality/loudness and have the feel of a much more expensive, premium branded product.

Bought on Amazon Resale for just over 11 quid, I upgraded my parents' monitor, but their old one had speakers, the new one doesn't, so I just wanted something cheap. For how cheap they are, they're pretty great. As long as your expectations are as low as the price, you will be pleasantly surprised, they have a decent volume without too much distortion and aren't as tinny as integrated monitor speakers, much better quality. Obviously a much more expensive pair would be better, but these definitely do the job, very pleased.

For the price these are AMAZING! I bought these for my projector as it was a little bit too quiet on some streaming apps and I hated that the sound was only coming from my left side as thats where the projectors placed. These make it so its louder, better sound quality, surround sound. The volume is only half way and its already loud enough! Absolutely perfect 👌 will be buying these again for my gaming set up 1000% size is great, great base, lighting is cute, cable length is really good, could easily take them away with you easily portable, powered simply by plugging them into your device og choice!

Quedé muy satisfecho con esta compra. Lo que no me fijé es que me llegaron 4 juegos de 2 bocinas. 8 altavoces !!!!

Son de pequeño tamaño pero suficientes para una mesa de escritorio con un pc.Su sonido es bueno pero sin forzarlos a un gran volumen..perfectos para el dia a dia .

Speakers staan mooi op het bureau. Ze waren zwaarder dan ik verwacht had. Goed om te weten dat ze blauw licht hebben. Ik heb nog geen manier gevonden om het licht uit te zetten. Zou ze zo weer kopen.

Zugegeben: würde ich die Amazon-Basics mit meinem Bose 2.1 am PC vergleichen, wäre es ein Vergleich zwischen Birnen und Äpfel... Aber ein Versuch ist es mal wert... Seit ich die Bose am PC habe, hört auch mein Nachbar regelmäßig Trance and Techno der 90er mit... Ob er will oder nicht :-) ... und mittlerweile kennt er auch meine Telefonnummer schon auswendig wenn er um 23Uhr mal wieder keine Ruhe findet -.-.. Ja richtig, die Bose spielen natürlich in einer anderen Preisklasse... Aber was darf ich denn nun von den gut 300€ günstigeren AmazonBasics erwarten, die im 4er Set keine 10€ das Paar kosten...... Allein das hohe Gewicht des Pakets lässt schon vermuten, was man bekommt. Und in der tat, die Lautsprecher sind qualitativ verdammt gut verarbeitet. Die blauen LEDs sind hübsch anzusehen, aber letzlich entscheidet der Klang - und der ist für diese Preisklasse echt Hammermäßig gut! Nichts scheppert oder klappert und nein es ist keine Blechdose... Für den einfachen und normalen Gebrauch am PC für hin und wieder mal Videos oder Musik/Radiostreamen sowie für gelegentliches zocken oder auch für unterwegs meine absolute Empfehlung... Wer aber viele Games zockt, ständig Filme sieht und Musik hört und sich dabei die Birne wegblasen und jeden Bass in der Magengegend spüren möchte dem Empfehle ich dann aber doch lieber den Griff zu einem 2.1...

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