Updated Computer Speaker, USB Powered Speaker for Desktop,Windows PC,Mac. Portable Mini Sound bar-Plug and Play with Volume Control and Mute Button (USB-C to USB Adapter Included)

I always use my Bluetooth headset with my desktop computer, but sometimes I just want to watch some random short online videos without a headset. So, I searched for the simplest speaker with a small footprint. Simplest, with just one cable, and this USB speaker fits exactly what I need. The package was typical, with just simple branding. The build quality looks pretty good. The grayish black finish looks premium, but a fingerprint magnet. I plugged it in on the nearest USB port, and that’s it, it was automatically detected, and I was able to output music without needing to install additional drivers. I played a few rock music, and my wife immediately noticed how loud it is. Not the greatest device for music, but at this price point, it is loud enough to enjoy watching movies. It does have a little punchy bass at high levels, but at lower levels you won’t notice the bass. So, how loud is this speaker? Well, I have a 46-inch TV in my room, and this speaker can outpower the TV. I can now watch and enjoy my TV series without leaving my computer. Overall, there is nothing much to say about this speaker. It is very simple with just one cable, a small footprint, and loud enough for media consumption. If you are looking for a simple yet loud speaker, this is a good option.

When I give this little sucker five stars across the board, I don't mean you're going to be amazed if you compare it to $300+ speakers. But for less than $20, this is EXACTLY what I wanted. Occasionally I have to use a PC whose speaker is crappier than the ones in those singing Hallmark Cards. Not only does this speaker solve that problem but it's 10x easier to use that the one I bought just before this (which I'm returning now). The other speaker had two cables, a power button that wore out after just a few weeks, and a sleep function that was really annoying. But this speaker only has one cord, no buttons and no sleep function. You don't even have to tell the computer to reroute the sound to the speaker (which I had to do with the previous product). You literally just plug it in and you're done. The sound from your computer simply plays through the speaker just like it should. Plus, the single USB cord provides the connection for power as well as sound. So, I just plug it in and go. The, when I'm done, I unplug it. No powering off, nothing. It couldn't be easier. And the sound is MUCH louder than the computer's crappy built-in speaker. I mean, sure, it wouldn't compare with something which cost 10x as much. But who cares? It was cheap, works great for what I need, and I'm very happy with this purchase.

I bought this so I could have a separate speaker for my docked nintendo switch. I have my switch hooked up to my pc monitor and I just wanted a cheap but decent second speaker so I don't have to constantly unplug and replug the external speakers I use for my pc. The problem is that the Switch does not recognize the driver for this speaker and therefore no sound so it's basically useless to me. It installs on the computer no problem and is plug and play on that though. The sound is so-so. It's definitely not as loud as claimed. I currently use the Dell AC511 wired soundbar for both my computer and switch. That one is also usb sound and powered only, so I think this is a good comparison. My switch recognizes and installs the driver for the Dell soundbar right away and I have no problems using it on there. When I compare this speaker to my dell, it definitely has a tinny quality to it. Honestly my pleb ears wouldn't notice the tinnyness if not for a direct comparison but since I had the option to compare, there is a noticeable difference. It's just a harsher and tinnier sound overall. These speakers sounds way better than any laptop or phone speaker out there so it's still a major upgrade if that's where you're coming from. The volume also doesn't get very high. I had it at 100% volume and it was as loud as the Dell's at 45%. Don't get me wrong; it sounds alright and I usually have my dell at 30%, so this soundbar is loud enough and perfectly fine still. I think this is a good bang for your buck speaker IF you are gonna get it for your computer. Avoid if hooking up to a game console, specifically the switch. I just wanted something cheap, but I guess my only option is buying another dell if I want a usb only speaker.

I own two of these. The first one I purchased in late 2020 and it is still working fine. I purchased another to go with another computer setup. I am very pleased with these speakers. They are plenty loud for me and sound great for small computer speakers. And if it helps anyone, I am using one on a Windows pc and the other on a Mac Studio running Tahoe.

My computer speakers died so I bought this to replace them. It’s small enough to fit under my monitor, which I love. The sound quality is not fantastic, but it works. You control the sound through your computer, not the speaker device. There is no on and off button on the device either. The only thing I have noticed that might be a concern is that my computer does not always recognize it, so I have to unplug it and plug it back in whenever I turn my computer on or return after it’s been asleep for a while, but because it just requires a USB port and my hard drive is on the desk not under it, this is not a big deal for me. And while we’re on the topic of where your hard drive is, please note that the usb cord on this is not long at all, so if your hard drive is under your desk, you may have a hard time situating the speaker where you want it. If you are looking for a speaker with high-quality sound, keep looking. If you simply need a speaker for online conferences and background music, this is a good price for the quality.

Exactly as described... and works well .. good sound ...

yo buscaba algo "sencillo", que no requiriera de una fuente de poder externa y que no fuera bluetooth o pilas. Esta bocina suena cumple con eso, bien para la computadora, yo la quería especificamente para Linux, plug and play sin problema. Si al conecto a un celular (con OTG) la bocina se apaga si le subo todo el volumen, supongo que el celular no tiene la suficiente potencia para llevar la bocina "a tope", pero si el volumen llega hasta 9 (de 10), sin problema. PERO en PC, sin problema volumen a tope. Sonido stereo limpio, me agrada.

My Alienware laptop has decent speakers but lack for bass and a bit of midrange. This speaker fills the gap and I love that it’s powered by only a USB cable. I bought this specifically because it doesn’t need external power, glad I did. The sound is good considering it’s not powered, there are no controls on the unit everything is handled by your computer. Very simple setup, it weighs a good amount so I assume the magnets on the speakers are a decent size. Well worth the amount I paid

I was very surprised when this arrived. It's a great speaker for price, quality and size. I was even considering buying a second one.

I was worried this would be too quiet for the price point, but I was actually impressed with how loud it gets. It's got stereo sound, which is what I wanted; some similar units only have the one speaker putting out sound in mono. I really like the sleek design; no dials, switches, headphone jack, or anything except for the USB wire. Note that this will only work for a computer, and not for listening to your phone or something. Setup is simple, just plug it into a USB port and turn up the volume by clicking on the speaker in the bottom right hand corner on your Windows desktop or laptop computer. I can confirm it works fine on Windows 10. The only reason for giving 4 stars rather than 5 is because whenever I restart my computer, it forgets the speakers are connected, and I have to unplug and plug them back in again to get them to work.
