They should be small and still sound good so. Oh, and more than 20, - they must not cost too. Nothing easier than that.
I went directly to the offensive and had to buy a few things at 20, - costs and is small and narrow.
Among them were products of Logitech, Hercules, Speedlink and precisely this Philips.
Logitech Z-120: A sound to enter into the bin. Quiet and dull. Since I prefer to listen to anything. Honest. I do not know why that are so highly praised.
Speedlink Mace 2.1: With small subwoofer that you can still hide between the table and roll containers. So far so ok. The sound of small cubes could not convince me too. Radio sounds in addition to the program on hollow.
Hercules XPS 2.0 40: The Sound ... ok. Better than anything previously tested. Dynamic, but not "fully". Something with which you can make friends grudgingly. Were it not for the problem of buzzing left box. Also, in a replacement unit of this phenomenon occurred. Since they were also out of the race.
Hercules XPS 2.0 Gloss: much worse than the XPS 40. plate Ender sound. Can not convince at all.
Philips SPA1260 / 12 2.0: Last tested as least expected. What can I say. From all tested Böxchen this spit passabelsten tones and sound at richest and most dynamic, probably by the little more volume (they are somewhat lower than the counterparty). If no music played, they are in the on state still mucksmäuchenstill. No noise. I like when you sit in front of 8 to 10 hours a day.
Other plus-points that I now do not compare here with the other speakers:
+ Volume control and headphone output on the front panel = easy access
+ Long (not removable) cables connecting the right and left speakers. Very convenient if you have multiple monitors are side by side.
In short: Those looking for small, cheap speakers for his office, does not go far wrong with this Philips. Strong buy recommendation!
