Amazon Basics Stereo 2.0 Speakers for PC or Laptop, 3.5mm Aux input, USB-Powered, 1 Pair, Black

I have a Mac mini, for my sins, and the stupid little built in thing that's supposed to produce sound is so laughably inadequate that I generally didn't bother with voice / video calling or much else. Tried a very old Bose Soundlink Mini on which the battery had died, using it plugged in to power, but Dr Bose's cleverness and Apple's bloody-mindedness combined to make it unmanageable.I was wary about buying a pair of speakers for £14, thinking that they might well not be any better that the thing in the Mac mini (I do my normal listening to music / TV etc on a Naim Muso 2nd Generation which is awesome). But, I rationalised, it's Amazon, and if the speakers are no good I can always send them back.Suffice to say they won't be going back. They're really nicely finished and sit unobtrusively on my desk. They look quite swish, actually - the reviewer here who said it's a shame they have the trashy Amazon branding needs to go to Specsavers. Or somewhere that adjusts silly attitudes. The sound is clear and open. No, not much bass and not much punch and they don't really go loud but if you want a speaker pair to do those things you're going to need to look at some much more expensive kit. For video conferencing, phone calls, occasional background music listening, everything you might normally want to do on a desktop pc, these are great. Really good. And did I mention they only cost £14?Nicely played, Amazon.

I am genuinely impressed with their quality, especially considering the price of these speakersThe sound quality is fantastic – The volume goes quite loud but remains clearThe build quality is solid and stylish. They fit perfectly on my desk without taking up too much space. Setting them up was a breeze, and the volume control was conveniently placed for easy access.Overall, these Amazon speakers are an incredible value for the price. Look no further if you're looking for great sound without breaking the bank. Highly recommend

I recently picked up the Amazon Basics Stereo 2.0 Speakers for my PC, and they have proven to be a solid choice for anyone looking for budget-friendly audio solutions. These speakers are simple to set up, with a 3.5mm aux input and USB power, making them a convenient addition to my desk setup.The sound quality is surprisingly good for the price. While they won’t replace high-end speakers for audiophiles, they provide clear and balanced audio that is more than sufficient for everyday use, such as listening to music, watching videos, or attending online meetings. The volume range is decent, and there’s no noticeable distortion even at higher levels.One of the standout features of these speakers is their compact design. They take up very little space on my desk, which is great for maintaining a tidy and organised workspace. The black finish is sleek and unobtrusive, blending well with my other equipment.The USB-powered aspect is incredibly convenient, eliminating the need for an extra power outlet. This also makes them highly portable and easy to use with both my PC and laptop. The build quality is what you’d expect from an Amazon Basics product—solid and reliable without any unnecessary frills.A minor downside is the lack of a built-in volume control knob, which would have been a handy feature. However, adjusting the volume directly from my PC or laptop works just fine.Overall, the Amazon Basics Stereo 2.0 Speakers are a great value for the price. They deliver clear audio, are easy to set up, and their compact size makes them perfect for small spaces. Highly recommended for anyone needing a reliable, no-fuss audio solution for their computer.

Really great build quality and does the job . Sound quality is what you'd expect . Sounds like a 15 pound speaker . Nothing to complain.

The media could not be loaded. I didn't realise when I built my daughter a computer that the monitor didn't have speakers. I wanted to get some basic speakers that didn't cost the earth. I came across these Amazon Basics speakers. I can't believe how cheap they were and to be honest I wasn't expecting much from them. How wrong was I! The first thing I noticed is that they have a nice weight to them and the build quality is great. They don't feel cheap at all. There is a nice shiny finish on to top of them and down the back. They are good looking speakers. The photos and video attached are showing the speakers connected to my laptop for the purpose of trying them out. The volume can be controlled through the online controller on the speaker cable or through Windows itself. I also love the blue light around the bottom of each speaker which is a nice touch. These speakers can go quite loud, to be honest I didn't want to push them to much. The sound is clear and I didn't notice any distortion. They could have more bass but I couldn't be happier with my purchase. If you are after some cheap, well made, nice sounding, good looking pc speakers look no further. Hope this review helps?

Has been using this for a while, it has been working well, can be loud and quiet when i need it. Easy to use. Easy to connect. Cable is long enough for my table. Perfect for the the price.

They work great, sound fine, the only issue the blue led light could be amazing because it makes the speaker look really nice, but it is almost invisible at night and fully invisible through the day.

The sound isn't spectacular but compared with the other 2 sets I previously bought and had to return, a) the sound is ok and b) they actually work without any bizarre behaviours ie they don't cut out/switch to another mode etc.
