These Amazon Basic branded PC/laptop speakers are actually pretty decent and do their intended job well, in providing a decent speaker output for "run-of-the-mill" PC use such as Zoom calls, basic YouTube use, even a bit of background music but probably lacking for those into serious gaming.
Make no mistake, these aren't high end and your streaming audio quality certainly isn't concert hall standard, but they deliver a good, punchy sound.
The speakers are a good weight but don't take up a huge space. Easily connected up, they use a spare USB output for power and then simply plug into the 3.5mm audio jack; no setting up other than setting the inline volume control to max, you can then use your OS volume to adjust. Volume is good enough and providing you aren't expecting too much, you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Only two gripes, both of which already mentioned by others.
• Crappy "Amazon Basic" branding adores the top
• Fairly pointless blue LED in base but I don't find this as distracting as others make out (speakers aren't massively on display though).
All in all, decent value and work well, a good little product.
