Customer Review: Great speakers, esp for price
Summary: 5 Stars
Just bought these and they are perfect for use with a notebook.
Shielded, space saving and much better than most speakers i've
used with a notebook.
The sound is very warm and crystal clear, just what you'd expect
from a well known audio company.
You can get room filling sound and decent bass with a few tweaks.
I hooked them up to a Targus mini-usb 2.0 hub
(though i have 3 usb ports in the back of my pc)
and the notebook headphone jack.
Peeled apart the wire a few inches to reach both.
Right clicked on the speaker icon in the taskbar, selected
"adjust audio properties", added PC speaker to the usual array
of volume controls. Set all including pc speakers to max
except system volume which i set to 3/4
Then in audio properties under speaker settings, clicked on advanced
and chose desktop speakers from the dropdown menu instead of the default
laptop stereo.
(and though they get the sound from the headphone out jack, selecting
headphones is only for... well, headphones)
Running three sets of volume controls:
With the system volume at 3/4, the volume knob on the right speaker set
to half, your final volume will depend on the volume control of whatever
video or audio player you are using both on and offline.
You can play around with your volume settings to your own satisfaction.
Since system volume comes in loud, i don't bother to turn the speakers
on with the on-off switch on the back of the right speaker until i'm actually going to use them to listen to a film, video or mp3, etc or browse through these kinds of sites.
Till then, there is no sound since they are plugged into the headphone jack.
I haven't heard any start-up, shut-down or any other system sounds and have not missed them, there is almost always some visual effect associated
with those.
The sound at youtube and various video sites etc is not a substitute for expensive high end speakers but is very good for listening to music and movie soundtracks at decent volumes and good fidelity with none of the harsh muffled sound you usually get with outboard pc speakers.
And no distortion unless you run the sound up to absolute max.
You won't get deep bass, frequency is 180Hz-20KHz, but frankly i don't want deep bass rattling and thumping my notebook and its hard drive and optical drive with the speakers only 3 inches away.
As a bonus, the stereo separation is outstanding on these.
For the price i think these are the best notebook speakers around :)
