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).

If you are looking to add sound to a desktop PC that lacks it, or to upgrade the sound on a laptop, then these Insignia 2.0 Computer speakers are an easy way to do that, especially since they can be powered via USB. The two speakers are unassuming, rectangular black boxes, with the right speaker having the controls and 3.5mm headphone jack. All the wires are of fixed length and are non-detachable, and they can be a little prone to getting tangled. There’s a wire between the left and right speakers, a 3.5mm input, and a USB connector for power. (There’s an included Type-A to Type-C adapter, which is helpful.) If you don’t have a spare USB port for whatever reason, you can power the speakers off a USB wall brick. Setup, based on this, obviously takes just a minute. Sound quality is decent and the volume can get sufficiently loud to fill small spaces well. It more than suffices for one’s personal desktop area. The sound can get a little harsh if the volume is pushed to really high levels, but few would ever drive them this hard. Otherwise they can be quite capably loud. For nearly every reasonable use–playing a casual game, listening to music or Youtube videos, audio for a video call, etc.– it will do the job. Bass is a little lacking, but that should be no surprise given the small size and lack of separate subwoofer. But on the other hand, these will not take over your desk nor take up an outlet. In short, these easily allow someone to add sound to a PC or other device that lacks speakers, or wants to upgrade over the very limited speakers most laptops have. It performs that role perfectly. Although they aren’t necessarily sold as being portable, their relatively compact size and ability to be USB-powered (along with all the necessary cabling being attached) makes them good for pairing with a laptop user on the go who needs more sound than a laptop could provide–like someone giving a presentation, perhaps.

Modern laptops are packed with high performing chips, fancy high resolution OLED displays, and AI capabilities, but the fact remains that the internal speakers are always lacking in audio quality. If you’re ready to step up from the built in speakers, but don’t want to spend a small fortune, then the Insignia computer speakers may be just right for you. These are wired speakers, with the right speaker being the master unit where the 3.5mm audio cable, power cable, and left speaker wire connect into. A green light illuminates on the right speaker when the power is on. The power cable has a usb A connection which can be powered from the usb A port on a computer or can be plugged into a usb A charging brick. Insignia also supplies a usb A to usb C adapter for computers that only have a usb C port. That’s very thoughtful and nice touch from Insignia. The front of the right speaker has the volume control knob which also doubles as an on/off switch, and there is also a 3.5mm jack for plugging in a wired headphone. The left and right speakers are connected by a wire approximately 39 inches in length. I was able to comfortably place the speakers to either side of my 34” wide monitor, but this appears to be the maximum monitor size that can be placed between the speakers. The exterior housing of the speakers are constructed of hard plastic. Each speaker has four rubber pads to prevent them from sliding on a desk top. The speakers are rather lightweight and doesn’t take much force to accidentally knock them over. They are also rather compact, with each speaker taking up approximately 4” x 3.25” footprint on the table top and stands shorter than a water bottle. And the fact that these don’t have a subwoofer, there is zero floor area taken up which is another plus if you’re looking for space saving speakers. The Insignia speakers is a basic 2.0 stereo computer speaker at a bargain price, but sounds great if you temper your expectations. They are lively with plenty of mids and crispy highs. Vocals and mids are the sweet spot of these speakers. The spatial separation of the speakers which create the stereo effect makes the audio much more engaging than the built-in laptop speakers. However, the weak spot of these speakers is the lack of any bass, so don’t expect any low end thumping. At least your apartment neighbors won’t be banging on the wall for you to turn down the bass. These are considered near-field speakers, but the volume can get quite loud to fill a good sized bedroom if you want to throw yourself a one person audio party. In short, these Insignia speakers are plenty for undiscriminating music listening, non-critical streaming and teleconferencing audio. So who are these speakers for? Someone who is on a budget, looking for a small compact computer audio system that is magnitudes better than even the best built-in laptop speakers, and doesn’t need the bass that 2.1 speaker systems offer. They’re priced lower than similar speaker setups from the competitors, but sound just as good or better. I know because I own several 2.0 computer speakers from one of the large name brand computer accessory companies and these Insignia actually surprised me with their great audio quality for the low price. Highly recommend!

These Insignia speakers are compact (7 inches tall x 4 inches wide) and easily fit on either side of the computer monitor. There is a headphone jack on the right speaker. They are not Bluetooth speakers, so there is a lot of wiring. There is about 3 feet of wiring between the speakers and about 5 feet to connect the right speaker to the computer audio out jack and to a power source. There are multiple power source options when connecting to a PC. 1. The provided USB-A cable can be inserted into a USB-A port on the computer 2. The provided USB-C adapter can be used to attach the USB-A cable to a USB-C port 3. Use an AC outlet with the provided USB-A cable and an AC power adaptor In addition to a computer, the speakers can be used for any device that has a 3.5 mm audio out port, such as a tablet, turntable, etc. I actually got these speakers because they were not Bluetooth. I was using a Bluetooth speaker, but it was temperamental and would frequently lose the Bluetooth connection for no apparent reason. These speakers were very easy to install. The included instructions were written out in words (not pictures) and were easy to follow. The sound is very good. Not as good as a soundbar, but totally acceptable. They are great inexpensive speakers and do the job well.

Initially, I lowered my expectations since they are only $20, which is a lot less than other speakers. When I first tried them out, I was amazed. They produce super clear noise and get surprisingly loud. I would have to say that there isn't much bass, but the sound quality makes up for that, in my situation. I use these speakers for gaming and music while I do homework.
