Trust Remo 2.0 PC Speakers, 16W (8W RMS), USB Powered, Jack 3.5mm, Stereo Speaker Set with Volume Control, Compact Sound System for Computer and Laptop - Black

I figured on testing these before going through the rigmarole of getting to the back of the table to plug them in the back, and I wasn't overly impressed because of the crackling from one of the speakers. But after some tweaking I managed to figure out how to minimize the noise while still allowing the audio to be heard at an acceptable level. I always knew that, being on the cheaper end of the speaker market, that they were not going to be crystal clear, and was happy enough to set them up more permanently. And I'm glad I did!!!After using the rear output, I was pleasantly surprised that the crackling wasn't present at all. A bit more testing reveals that the crackling was merely because I tested them laying down, and now upright they give genuinely clear audio. They are powered over USB (so no extra power sockets are required), and look great against my similarly reflective jet black monitor frame. They compliment each other perfectly. And the build quality is as good as my previous speakers, which cost a crazy amount of money and broke pretty much straight away.Another really nice feature, is the volume/power button. Normally (from my experience anyway) with these joint function dials, to turn the speakers off requires so much pressure to turn the dial to off, that you have to hold the speaker steady with the other hand. That's not the case here, and turning on and off requires only a bit more effort then turning the volume up or down. And honestly, volume control requires zero effort as its so smooth as responsive. On the off chance you are unaware if the set is on or off, a nice cool (as in soothing, not hip and rad, man) blue light resolutely glows in confirmation.Overall, these are excellent, and deserve frankly to be marketed in a higher price range. Of course, they are not perfect, but for their price, I simply cannot - AND I MEAN CANNOT - fault these. Highly recommended!!!!

The sound quality is fairly poor - but acceptable for the price.The build quality is moderate, they're very lightweight and easy to knock over.You don't need a power socket, as they're powered via USB, and they are loud enough for occasional use indoors. I bought them for a homework/light gaming PC for my son where I needed something moderately small, that didn't use a power socket, and would be loud enough to hear game sounds while we're sat across a small room.Works great for that use - and I'm pleased with the purchase, but don't buy them expecting to enjoy listening to music on them, or for playing anything loud with guests around!-1 star for being so lightweight that I keep accidentally knocking them over - they don't feel robust enough to cope with being knocked over too often!

I bought these speakers to use when I am staying at my elderly Father's house, or when I am otherwise away from my own home, working.I wanted a pair of speakers that were really affordable, as well as light and easy to set up so that I can listen to webinars, tracks from YouTube, Yoga Class and Zoom meetings without any extra equipment.The set up is simplicity itself - you literally plug in one USB socket and one male socket to your laptop. The volume control is a simple knob to turn. There is one tiny blue light which I personally do not find offensive - it's good to know when the speaker's live.The sound is perfect for my needs - I am fond of folk music, as an example, and I can hear the individual voices and instruments. On yoga class tracks I can hear the flute, sitar and and instructor's voice. In my job as a Clerk to the Court I can listen to the evidence without headphones which is nice after hours and hours of it.There is a slight buzz, audible when there is no other sound coming from the speaker. To be honest I'm glad of it, as a reminder that they are live.This set of speakers is ideal for a person with a visual disability like myself, being clear and easy to use.

I was very surprised to know that for such a low price it is still possible to find the product - such as this one, that has very decent sound control and quite good sound quality. What I liked also, is that these speakers are also very compact - I can carry in the back pack.I use it for playing PC games and for listening music. The only thing that I did not like, is having a bright blue light shining at me. I fixed this problem with some sticky tape/stickers. In all, I am pleased to have these speakers.
