Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the surprisingly clear sound quality and the compact, portable design of these USB-powered speakers. Many appreciate the affordable price and the convenient USB power source, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter. However, some users noted limitations in the bass response and the short cable length. A lack of independent volume control was also a recurring concern.

    Good speakers, not for a desktop though

    I purchased these speakers for my wife to use on her desktop computer, just needing something cheap to get by. They offer good sound quality, and the clamshell magnets would be a nice feature if you needed portability. They are not really designed for a desktop computer though. It requires a USB plug-in for power, which is not a problem, but the cord is very short for that, and just barely reaches my wifes computer by her feet under the desk. Every time the computer budges she needs to re-arrange her speakers. I would only recommend these for someone using them for a laptop computer.

    These look and sound really good. I got these for my home computer. They were easy to install, just plugged them in, and the price was great. My only issue is the cords to the speakers are too short (with my computer on the floor) so that I have both of them on the right side of my monitor. It's not a big deal, but it would be nice to be able to balance the sound.

    Could not beat the price. The connecting cables should be a little longer for more convenient placement as the connectors are on one side or the other of the laptop computer, not on the back .

    Ordered opened box set. Great value. Speakers are small with good sound. Definitely not made for heavy bass but that should be expected given the product. The cables could be a little longer. If PC is on the floor your limited to how far you can separate speakers for stereo sound. Overall worth the price.

    These won't blow your hair back of course but for the price they work great for my desk at work and are very low profile so they don't take up much space. My one grip is that the cord is set up poorly and is short so I can't stretch them apart on my desk. They are sitting next to each other on one corner. They do the job though as I built my PC and didn't include internal spearkers.

    WORST SPEAKERS EVER!

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    My last pair of insignia speakers lasted me a few years. I decided to get new ones when one of them gave out. Let me start by saying that I'm not an expert with speakers, I don't listen to music very loud, and I like to keep cables out of the way so I don't trip over them. I have had these speakers for less than a month, about two weeks. I was so excited because they look nice and seem easy to carry wherever. I was right, but what I find really annoying is the way they get connected. So it's this USB with three wires, one that goes into the headphone slot, and then the other two directly to the speakers. The cable is really short so I have to have my speakers RIGHT next to my laptop. All the USB slots on my laptop are to the left, so all the cables look slopppy. That's not the worst part, though. I bought them two weeks ago and one of them already stopped working...

    I was nervous about buying these speakers since they were so cheap, but they're wonderful. :) They're easy to set up (though I wish the cord was longer), and the sound output is great. I'm not a big music freak, so I don't know about the quality, but my music sounds fine on here and the range is good. I can blast them without getting scratchy. Great speakers!

    I guess longer cable would make this product sell more. Both audio and USB cables are too short. It limits the usage.

    Sound=average cable length=kinda short Don't expect alot of boom on these dudes! Great if you need basic sound, little bit of Internet radio.

    Might be ok for a laptop... not so much for a desk

    Was looking for a pair of cheap USB-powered speakers because who has room for another DC inverter on their power strip? Picked up a pair of these. The cables are short. Like utterly uselessly hilariously short unless you have your computer on your desk and you intend the speakers to be less than 3 feet away. The other issue I have is the cabling and how it all hooks up. There's this odd USB connector that has two wires sticking out from it that connect to each speaker, as well as the stereo plug. My right channel doesn't work at all, and the packaging was thrown away so it looks like no return for me. I suppose I'll be building a new amp and cables for these things in the hopes that they can find a use more productive than as landfill. There is no volume control on the speakers themselves-- apparently the amplifier is in the USB connector? So weird. These things basically suck, but in a pinch they might work OK for a laptop if for some reason it didn't have speakers built in, or if your desktop PC is actually ON your desk.
