Said in advance: The little things sound amazing. Not absolutely, but for their (small) size. Years ago, I had a couple of small, beautiful to look at laptop speakers, but so excessively sounded, I did not keep. This is different in these particles. Although endowed with 3 watts of power, the AmazonBasics speakers sound neat and also give music again somewhat reasonable. Of course, they do not replace a stereo system or a powerful sound system! Of course, boxes with 12 cm height are no bass miracle here they lack significant hole in volume. Mids and highs, but they give passable and bios to medium volumes even with only slight distortion from. Power comes via USB (from the grid when needed through a corresponding, not supplied adapter cable. I use them not with laptop, but with a desktop PC, and am at peace. They replace today my 14 (!) Years old, four times large, gray-faded, but just sound good Wavemaster. Conclusion: recommendable.
