Considering the speakers for my gaming computer are at least a decade old, I was thrilled to finally have a new pair of speakers to use. These speakers were smaller than I expected, maybe half the size of my old speakers, but when I tested them out I was happy to find that they can produce great volume despite their size.
These speakers come ready to go out of the box, all you need to do is plug in the audio jack into the back of your computer and then the USB plug as well. There's no bulky power adapter needed to plug into a power bar or wall socket, which is amazing. I did notice that the wire connecting the two speakers was a bit shorter than I would have liked, but it wasn't a major issue for me. It depends on your setup.
You can plug these speakers into a device like a smartphone or tablet as well, if you're taking them on the go, and they're very light and easy to pack. I did find it annoying that the volume control was in the back of the speaker, not on the side, and as a result I left it on Max the whole time and just adjusted volume through my PC. I was also hoping for a headphone jack, so I could plug headphones in for late-night gaming, but sadly there's no option to do so.
Overall these speakers provide amazing audio for such a small set, and they've really improved my gaming experience. Would be a five star item if the cable connecting them was longer and an audio jack port for headphones added!
