S150 USB Speakers with Digital Sound

SOLVED MY ISSUE. I have a ps5 and a monitor without sound (my controllers aux doesnt work for some reason).. Almost every other speaker I could find just wouldn't work with the ps5 for some reason or other. Then I got recommended this and its working perfectly! Sound qualities decent but Idrc about that tbh I've been trying to solve my issue for months now.

These speakers are compact, easy to set up, and sound much better than I expected for the price. I love that they connect with a single USB cable and don't require a separate power source. The sound is clear, the volume controls are convenient, and they work perfectly for music, videos, and video calls. A great upgrade from built-in laptop speakers.

Its size is perfect for my PC table and worth its price. Not too big or small and looks smart. Sound quality is okay but its not very loud and its an issue when watching any movie. Even with full volume on speakers its not enough.

easy to set up and sound very good

These speakers are not very loud. Even at full volume, they just dont put out much sound. They are okay for a laptop, but i would not recommend them for a desktop.

First of all I wasn't expecting much from these speakers for $9. I have a nice 5.1 set with a great subwoofer in my computer room and I certainly wasn't expecting any comparison. I watch movies at work overnight, either YouTube or downloaded, on my laptop and with the background noise at work it was hard to hear the laptop speakers. Some laptops have better speakers, but I figured buying some cheap speakers is cheaper than buying a new laptop. These work perfect for my situation. The sound is nice and clear, and can get loud enough for normal listening. I even tried some music and they are pretty decent. If you buy these speakers expecting much more, you will be disappointed. One thing I was worried about, I use Linux and these speakers don't have the usual 3.5 headphone jack, they are digital, which means the sound card is basically built in to the speakers. So the sound transfers from the computer to the speakers through USB, as well as the power. I didn't read enough before I bought these to know that, and Linux can be finicky. But I was able to go into the sound mixer and change the output device to USB speakers and they work perfectly. Anyone using Windows won't have any problems, this would probably be done automatically when you plug in the USB cable. 1 less cord to get tangled up is a good thing. I would recommend these speakers to anyone who is not looking to shake the walls, but just requires decent sound at a great price. And they are small enough to pack nicely in my backpack along with my laptop.

I will try to make this review as detailed as possible so other users do not fall into the mistake I did. At my office, we are not provided with pc speakers. I like to hear my incoming mail notification, hence I decided to buy a pair of cheap speakers. I bought these because I liked the fact that they were small, very cheap, and connected through a USB cord. - Aesthetics: The speakers are nice looking, sturdy, easy to handle and setup on your desk. - Drivers and connections (Part 1 - The good) They have only one cord, the USB, which goes into one speaker, and a second cable connecting the first speaker to the second. This is good because you do not clutter you desk with more wires. The speakers start working as soon as you plug in the USB cable. Windows found the drivers immediately. - The sound Unlike other reviews, mine did not rattle in any way. The sound is obviously (by far) not as good as that from my Bose Soundlink, but is good enough to increase the sound quality of my laptop. They provide enough bass and far richer sound than that coming from my laptop speakers. I would venture to say that they are more than enough to watch a movie in your pc or to listen to music. However, if you are looking for high quality sound, these speakers are not the way to go. But again, these are more than enough if you are not expecting too much. - Drivers and connections (Part 2 - The bad) After installing the drivers, Windows required a reboot. So I did. After restarting the system I noticed that the volume was too high. So I turned it to the least possible setting (Level 1/100) hoping to get a mild, smooth notification every time I had incoming mail. Surprise! The volume on windows is not working! They still sound as if they were maxed out! Windows alerts sound as high as the speakers allow them. So do CDs, youtube videos, etc. With youtube, windows media player, and other programs one has to control the volume setting through the application itself. As per Windows notifications, THERE IS NO WAY OF TURNING THE VOLUME DOWN!!! - Recommendation If you do not mind that the volume on your computer is always at max setting, buy these speakers. If you have any reason, any reason whatsoever, to turn the volume down, then DO NOT BUY THEM. They claim to have volume control on the front of one speaker, but that is just like manipulating the volume setting with your mouse on the windows taskbar. THus, still no way to turn the volume down. In other words: The windows volume setting goes from 0 to 100 (0 being mute, and 100 being max). You can activate the volume icon in the windows notification setting on the taskbar to turn the volume up or down with your mouse. After connecting these speakers, the volume, regardless of the setting on the taskbar, will be high. The volume on the speakers will not vary much (Bearly noticeable) as you change the windows volume from 1 to 100. Obviously, if you set it to 0, it's mute. Therefore, you have basically two volume options with these speakers: i) Mute; ii) Max (With a small range as if you would vary the windows volume from 95 to 100 on the taksbar). After this experience I decided to search for a similar pair of speakers that have an analog volume control on them. That way I can setup the windows volume at a reasonable level (50-60 percent) and make the final adjustment using the volume knob on the speakers. Such as the Logitech Stereo Speakers Z120, USB Powered (980-000524) . I will not try to return these, just because they are so cheap, that I do not think is worth going through all the trouble. I guess I will just give them to a friend. Final Recomendation: DO NOT buy these speakers. Instead try looking for similar USB speakers WITH an analog volume control knob. Hope this helps someone out there! Let me know if you have any questions.

About a year ago, the sound card crapped out on my laptop, leading me to buy an external sound card that plugs in to one of the USB ports. This is horribly inconvenient, as my speakers no longer work and I have to either plug in speakers to the sound card (suck) or use headphones with the sound card (and sometimes you just don't want to use headphones!). I bought these without thinking of whether or not they would work without the sound card plugged in and miraculously, they do!! I was so pleased! The software built into them is plug-and-play and solves the sound card issue easily. The USB casing on my external sound card is too wide and can only go on one side of my laptop, but the casing for the plug-in on these was just the right size. These are great little speakers. Really powerful sound, compact, easy to use. Plug & play and go. The ONLY issue I have with them is that they got a little too loud sometimes. It took some balancing to figure out the right volume so I wouldn't blow myself out of the water every time my computer made noise. They're really excellent though. I've since had to buy a second set as my -darling- cat chewed through the cord of the first set, but I will definitely buy these again.

Die Lautsprecher sind für den normalen PC Betrieb ausreichen. Die Klangverteilung ist sehr gut. Bass klar, bei den kleinen Dingern nicht so stark.

It is good USB speaker available

Perfeito

better than expected

Does not give any stronger volume than the weak built-in speakers of my laptop, although it definitely gives a better bass. Can't properly control the volume, either; even at 1 out of 100, it is quite loud. It is cheap, but even at that price it seems to be a waste of money.
