I just love these plug and play speakers. I actually bought them for my pc but I liked them so well that I traded out the speakers on my Mac and put those on the pc since I use the Mac 90% of the time.

The sound is nice and clear! The size is great. I have a non-adjustable height Samsung monitor and these speakers sit low enough that the monitor doesn't block the sound.

All in all great product for the money!

I wanted new speakers for my home office. Before these speakers I had a pair that I bought over 10 years ago from HP (came with the PC). Honestly the 10 year old speakers were much better!! Sometimes I am sorry I got rid of them. Anyway, I gave these 3 stars because they look nice, sound ok for what I use them for, and the price was right. They would have had 5 if the sound quality was better (bass not as good as my old one's).

        I use the speaklers to hook up to my lap top to show a short video to a small group of indviduals being trained on a specific products features. They are ok, but a little too low in volume. Even when turned up to the highest level of sound.

            This is my second set of these to blow out in less than a year. This set didn't even last me 6 months. I use them for work only on a very low level so I am not listening to them high enough to blow them out.
