## Description

Product Description desertcart Basics USB Powered Computer Speakers (A100) From the Manufacturer desertcart Basics

Review: If I Had A Mind To... - My musical tastes run the gamut from ancient Sumerian folk songs to Norwegian Black Metal and everything in between. So I need speakers that deliver. For a while, I had the built in speakers on my monitor, and their sound was good, if lacking. Still, I didn't see a need to add yet one more plug to my already overtaxed surge suppressor, so I went with "it'll work", and it did, right up until it didn't. A few weeks ago those monitor speakers finally went out. I figured I could read lips, but that failed rather quickly when I discovered that most software I use doesn't have lips to read. So I gave in, and started shopping around for speakers. Now, contrary to what you may believe here, I am not made of money, so I had to find speakers that were reasonably priced, while still delivering what they promised. I searched around a few regular PC shops, but they wanted a lot of money for very fancy speakers that I knew I wouldn't use to their full potential. I mean, really, do I need a 7.1 surround while I'm working on a spreadsheet and listening to the Alan Parson's Project in the background? Of course not. So I wanted something simple, inexpensive, but good quality. I don't think that's too much to ask. Apparently, unless I'm willing to take a chance on some cheapies from Walmart that will stop working after a few days, that is too much to ask. So I took to desertcart, because let's face it, this is where most of us end up, at least those of us who live in a tiny town where the Walmart is the only choice available for physical locations. I had found another set of speakers before these, and was tempted to buy them, but they had a power cord and not enough actual wattage for what I wanted. Yeah, I'm not looking for something to knock me backwards every time I get a new email, but I do want it to have some power. So finally I saw these speakers, the desertcartBasics USB powered speakers. I continued past them about half a dozen times before I came back to them and figured they would be worth a shot. I mean, they were powered, but by USB so no more stress on my surge protector. They were also smaller, which meant a smaller footprint, to where I could place them on my desk without fear of knocking them over (I have a small desk). So I purchased them. Got them a few days later, unboxed them, and set them up. It was really easy, as it should be, and I powered them on. I picked some Alan Parsons Project from my Winamp library (hey, I like the Alan Parsons Project, alright?). "I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You" starts up, and as it continues to build, I begin to get this smile on my face. Then it kicks off, and it just sounds *great*. The audio is crystal clear, the sound is sharp. There's just enough bass to make it feel "full". In short, I was impressed. I wasn't expecting a lot from $13 USB powered speakers, but I really was impressed. If you're on a budget and need a reliable pair of quality speakers, these are the speakers you want. Believe me. I wish you could hear them, I really do, but trying to show you how good these speakers are when you're obviously looking for better speakers than what you got just really defeats the purpose. That said, I highly recommend these speakers. They're the best bang for your buck. 5/5 Stars John
Review: 5-star sound, 5-star hook-up, 5-desertcart Basic -- GREAT SOUND FOR THE SIZE & COST - Got these for a particular laptop. (While that laptop's included speakers are good, they fire upward and the sound dissipates quickly.) So, I wanted a set of small computer-powered speakers (USB) which faced forward -- generally for listening to a few talk shows and watching a few movies. I've always had great success with desertcart Basic products, so when I spotted these I figured I'd give them a try. In a few words, they are AMAZINGLY GOOD, LITERALLY COST LESS THAN THE TAX ON A GOOD PAIR OF SPEAKERS, TAKE UP VERY LITTLE DESK SPACE, AND HAVE A SOLID RANGE (OK, NOT THE BOOMBOX-POUNDING, MOVIE-THUNDERING BASE coming from your dedicated subwoofer, but great considering they are sitting a few feet from your face. And WHILE THE VOLUME IS VERY, VERY GOOD; THESE LITTLE GUYS DO NOT HAVE THE SUPER-HIGH VOLUME THAT SETS YOUR NEIGHBORS TO PUNDING ON YOUR DOOR. (But do note: They have more than enough volume to fill most of your apartment!) The sound is so good that I gave them a test run-through with the desertcart PRIME MUSIC program -- jazz, pop, classical were clear, sharp and good enough that these will now be my go-to speakers for portable sound. (Rock was good, but not as good that $200-$2,000 system sitting on your shelf.) Do note, however, it seems like these little speakers were REALLY designed to play jazz and mid-range classical -- and they are great for that full range of artists.) And the talk radio programming I was originally seeking support for? It came through crisp, loud and clear (even the ones that I couldn't make out when trying to use the laptop's speakers.) OH, AND IT TOOK ABOUT 10 SECONDS TO HOOK UP. OH, AND THEY COST LESS THAN A GOOD PAIR OF SOCKS.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very small footprint, good-not-great sound quality but an excellent price.
*by B***S on March 1, 2016*

These speakers were very cheap so I can't be too critical of them, but here are my thoughts. These speakers are very small which is perfect for a desktop with limited space available. They replaced some ancient dell speakers that were huge by comparison - in no way are these speakers worse than the old Dell speakers they replaced. The sound quality on these is good, but not great. I would call myself a perfectionist when it comes to sound, any distortion or noise really bothers me, while these speakers don't have any crackling or popping I have noticed their range is kind of limited. Get into the low bass or really high tones (on higher volume) and these will surrender. For $13 I wasn't too surprised honestly. I got the AmazonBasics brand because I know they are quality products backed by amazon, while these aren't as capable as my much more expensive logitech computer speakers, I'm sure they are much better quality than some of the really cheap generic speakers. If you plan on using these speakers primarily for speaking audio or soft music listening than these will be perfect, in fact most people probably wouldn't notice the distortion at the upper limits but if you're like me and hear everything I promise it will bother you. Other than the distortion at the limits my other complaint is that these are USB powered. It seems that most cheaper computer speakers are USB powered now and I really don't like it. I try not to put unnecessary USB draw on my computer and also it makes me feel like these are lacking in power (these are 3W total output vs 5W for the AC powered version). They do sell a non-usb powered version of these speakers: AmazonBasics AC Powered Computer Speakers (A150) that are $7 more, so it might be worth considering those as well. These speakers are plugged in to a windows 10 computer and they work perfectly (they are USB powered but use a 3.5mm audio jack for the sound) but for some reason the computer keeps telling me that I have plugged an audio device in. Luckily you can disable these notifications because every minute or so the computer would notify me that these were being plugged and unplugged. These came in a typical AmazonBasics frustration free brown box and come with a 1 year limited warranty.
