USB 2.0 Flat Panel Speakers for Home/Office (SP2500USB)

I bought these little bad boys for my work computer as the computers lack speakers. I plugged these puppies in and I was immediately impressed with their clarity. Definitely makes the work day go by faster now that I've got crisp speakers playing my favorite tunes. Right on Gear Head!

I saw these were sold in a variety of stores, so I thought, how bad could they be? I didn't buy them for computer speakers at my desk, but for use with my laptop when I use it in the bedroom. I also bought them specifically thinking the volume control would control the headphone volume input as well, as I have a special use for that too. It doesn't. That's why I give them 2 stars. These are tiny, light and they tip over easily.As speakers, they sound better than my wretched laptop speakers for listening to dialog on TV shows or movies. They go louder too. I owned a pair of Logitech "can" USB speakers that were also this cheap and they sounded much better than these but the wire broke right at the base, where I couldn't repair it. A few people had written in the comments that they tended to do this, and you have to be very careful. I learned my lesson. Never buy anything from Amazon that has only one review. That means something.

Don't expect Hi Fi Sound, these are your plain vanilla desktop speakers which do the job as long as the job is not primarily listening to your favorite tunes. They will be just fine for your typical computer beeps and bloops and for your chat voice etc.No bass to speak of but then the speakers are tiny.Useful for what they are. Well made for the price.

The Gear Head speakers were a very good value for the low price, but do not expect top quality sound. I just needed them so I could participate in webinars on the computer. I listen to a local radio station while I am on the computer during my workday, but I surely miss a nice rounded tone with bass boost when listening to music. For the purpose I needed these speakers, they do a very good job and they balance nicely. The sound seems to come from the middle of my flat panel monitor which is nice. I would recommend this product to others.

Don't waste your money. Mine work, but the sound quality is horrible. I don't need much - I was happy with my old monitor's built-in speakers before - so that should tell you something. But the sound of these speakers are really "tinny" - and I'm only listening to talk radio. Immediately after connecting these speakers to my MacBook I logged into Amazon and ordered a new (different) set of speakers.

Work great, good price.

Bought these speakers for my aunt they worked for about 2 months and then all of the sudden stopped working not good

Tinny but acceptable speakers at a price that is OK for my cubicle. The price reflects the sound quality. If you have low expectations you won't be disappointed!
