Insignia™ - 2.0 Computer Speakers (2-Piece) - Black

Quality is great, simple to use. A bit bigger than I expected but they look good.

I bought these to play my Nancy Drew games on my computer, and it makes a difference for me. The first use they didn’t want to instantly pair but I was able to troubleshoot it and it worked, and now they pair instantly.

I needed speakers for a portable gamming PC, I'm building. Simple Speakers but gets the job done.

My family are huge PC gamers, we have several gaming PCs in our house. We have headphones but sometimes we don’t want to heat up our ears and heads wearing them for hours on end. So we use computer speakers often. I myself have the highest end computer speakers and my wife and son have decent small generic speakers. But I love Bestbuy and I’ve heard pretty good things about their speakers. I knew they were very inexpensive but never got around to trying them myself. So I decided to give these a shot. And man let me tell you, they are actually very nice sounding. I thought for sure they would be decent from previous reviews. But sound quality and sound output is very good. Mid range(vocals) are clear and rich with solid highs up until a certain point(volume). The driver is a full range driver with the older plastic center part that produces the highs(treble) which does a solid job but is cheaper material and a way to cut cost but it makes sense as these only retail for 20$. Bass is there but not there which is expected. I’ve tried no name brands and this blow those away, no lie and no fluff. Room filling sound so long as you connect directly to the motherboard audio out port (if applicable). Now I will say you lose a little volume and sound quality if you connect to a headphone out port at least with an actual desktop PC and I can’t speak to an all in one or laptop. But still sound if most important to you this is a steal. Size of speakers is on the average size and should not be a problem. Volume knob works well to turn on and adjust volume. A headphone pass through is included as well on the right speaker. Only issue I had was the length of the usb(power) and the 3.5mm wire are too short if you have a larger desk. Should have been at least a foot longer. But should be fine for most set ups. But yes sorry so long. But I actually liked these, great value for the performance. Buy them if you want to save money and aren’t an audiophile of course.

Insignia™ - 2.0 Computer Speakers (2-Piece) - Black It’s difficult to imagine how such a competently designed and flexible desktop speaker system can be offered at this price. I’m not complaining. I’m pleasantly surprised with this quality of sound. With the exception of deep bass, this speaker pair immediately impressed with a sense of accuracy in the critically important voice region along with a level of sparkling detail keeping instruments real. I discovered how loud it will play when I forgot to check my sound level before playing some popular music from the 80s. Setup is easy enough. The headphone cable from the speakers plugs into a laptop headphone port, but you will need to use the USB/C power cable and a power supply (brick) to get power to the speaker amplifier. I needed to restart my MS/WIN11 laptop to have it recognize the newly attached external speakers. It also attached to my Mac Mini. This flexibility contributes to my only complaint about the Insignia: so many wires to conceal after I’m all setup. No Bluetooth needed or available. I know it’s possible to pay hundreds of dollars for some very attractive desktop systems. But, if you are simply trying to improve the sound (significantly) over laptop speakers, you can get probably 80% of that improvement for 10% of the cost. Hey. Give the Insignia a test run. It’s a perfect media companion. Whether I’m creating videos or playing back media I felt I was getting a very natural presentation, a very listenable sound quality that certainly had a bottom end, and held a rhythm line. It’s just not audiophile level bass. This is a nice looking, nice sounding, compact desktop system (once you conceal that wiring harness).
