Pay a little more and get better speakers (Rating: 1 out of 5) When the volume is turned up about 1/3 way, there is crackling in the speakers. Other people have complained about that as well. I would pay a little more and get something better.
Great speakers for what they are....... (Rating: 4 out of 5) This is the exact speaker the I.T. department gave me at work. For a laptop with limited deskspace, these are great sounding, so I got a pair for home. True audiophiles or gamers may not be impressed, but I happen to think they have great sound and fit my needs. Plus, they are small enough to be somewhat portable.
I tried to buy these locally, but the style/model has changed and I really did not care for the stand on the newer model as it looked really cheap, and not well put together. The stand on these older style speakers looks much better and appears to be much sturdier.
Any big box retailer has a selection of 2.0 channel PC speakers in this price range, but some have such a low output, they are not even worth trying. These CA speakers are a cut above.
Average Computer Speakers; Recommend with Reservations (Rating: 3 out of 5) Great Aspects:
These speakers are fairly small but still project sound well. Volume is not a problem. It is obviously very simple to use.
Downside:
Sound clarity isn't perfect and you can tell that the sound is coming "from computer speakers." Bass is okay but nothing to get excited over. The headphone connection doesn't work very well, resulting in a distinct hissing when using headphones (so just plug the headphones right into the sound jack of the computer).
Summary:
These are average computer speakers and should be considered if the price is good such as a cheap upgrade at an online computer store. The speakers get the job done but in an ordinary fashion.
Recommend with Reservations.
