Priced for cheapskates like you and me, these offer a bare and basic sonic capability to your computer, so you can hear YouTube videos, Spotify, whatever--just know that you're not purchasing a grand audio experience, or anything like that. The sound is thin and tinny, but for what they are, and what you're spending, they're absolutely perfect. Recommended.
If you are not looking for high fidelity and just looking to increase the volume on your internal computer speaker or monitor built-in speakers, these really are perfect.
I thought they just had a single USB connection that provided power and audio to the speakers. It actually a separate USB and audio jack combined into a single cable. I guess the audio jack gives flexibility with connecting to a source like a phone, but you would still need a power source for the USB plug. I pulled the two halves of the cable apart and and plugged the USB into an outlet using a USB power block.
The LED light is much brighter than it needs to be. I have the speakers in my home office and at night the light shines across the hall into my bedroom enough to be annoying. I often turn off the speakers to kill the light. If the USB is plugged into a computer, the light will go out if you power off the computer (but not if in sleep mode).
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!
