Rating: Summary: The Best By Far Review: ...these speakers may look oddly shaped to you but dont befooled buy their appearince. these little darlings can go head-to-head with my floor standing models and win! they are only 10 inches high and pack quite a wallop when the volume is cranked up,microphone and headphone jacks on the right speaker for ease,large knobs, and no cumbersome Dc transformer to find a slot for,Its built right into one of the speakers. one minor drawback is that the power switch is built into the volume knob,like the transistor radios we use to have as kids. if you remember the volume knob was the first thing to go on those minature radios. i hope it doesent on these. they are still well worth buying...
Rating: Summary: Top-notch speakers with a great "simple" design Review: All companies need to take note of this "simple" pair of speakers. The speakers get the job done extremely well. And it doesn't use a bulky, box-like AC adapter; its internal power supply fixes that problem. Also, the speakers don't have a subwoofer. I know, I know, some people prefer a subwoofer and I used to have one myself. Still I can't tell the difference; this speakers sound exceptional without one.Plus it has microphone and headphone ports, so after you hook up these speakers the ports become incredibly accessible! I definitely recommend these speakers for anyone. And I think this pair is essential for computers with internal speakers. There nothing like having a volume control knob (especially when the alternatives are annoying sound control slider bars or keys).
Rating: Summary: exceptionally poor quality Review: Had to post this. Grrrr!!!! 6 weeks in, the second speaker now puts out about 20% volume of the first. 8 weeks in, both speakers drop an additional 50% volume output. Not worth the time ordering. However, they are a good size for target practice.
Rating: Summary: Great low priced speakers Review: I bought these for the office since I didn't really need the high end, high watt speakers there. I am very impressed with the big sound from these small speakers, much better bass response than most small cheap speakers. Not near the performance of my Altec Lansings at home but great for the office!
Rating: Summary: Excellent Bass response for a two piece system! Review: I bought these primarily for a speaker that had a headphone jack (neccessary for listening to streaming music online late at night). What I didn't anticipate was the extraordinary bass reproduction from a two piece system. Right now I am listening to a Beethoven Cello Sonata, and the bass tones from the cello are felt in my chest! I am amazed because I thought I would need a subwoofer to get realistic bass. Quite simply, I feel as if sitting right next to the cellist. For the price this is well worth every penny. And the headphone jack is a nice bonus that a lot of speaker systems don't have.
Rating: Summary: Decent computer speakers Review: I bought these speakers to improve the awful sound of my laptop computer. They are a lot more powerful than I thought. They have deep, clear bass and reasonable treble separation. I like the built-in AC adapter, the separate bass/treble and volume controls and the front mounted headphone jack. The size is fine for my needs, about 9 inches high. The downside is that there is a little distortion at very high volume, but not at normal listening levels. Construction quality seems to be OK, though this is the first Labtec product I have owned. All in all, a pretty good sounding speaker for the price. Certainly not audiophile, but for those looking to upgrade their computer sound at a reasonable price, the Spin 60 speakers are worth checking out.
Rating: Summary: unique & effective Review: I did a lot of searching, and this is one of the few speaker sys w/ front inputs jacks for mic& headphones....a GREAT convenience for voice recognition software use ( I was getting tired of climbing under the desk to the back of the CPU!) And for the great price how can you go wrong? I also agree that it has as good, if not better sound than my 3 pcs sys. They are a bit big for desktop, but not a problem for me...I'm happy!
Rating: Summary: not worth it Review: I found these speakers to be average. you would be better off going with the $5 speakers available at any office supply store. the sound was decently loud, but quality degraded as the sound went up. the actual shapes of the speakers are not as pleasing as the picture might make it seem.
Rating: Summary: Really surprising considering the price Review: I just wanted a pair of temporary and [low cost] speakers to use for my computer. These don't cost very much, and are rated at 1W per satellite, so I wasn't expecting very much. However the sound volume and quality have really exceeded my expectations. I had some Harmon Kardon speakers which were alot bigger and heavier in size but they don't compare to these speakers due to the constant annoying static that you hear. These are definitely a good buy for 15 bucks. An added bonus is the headphone jack which does a really good job as well even with [low cost] earbuds.
Rating: Summary: great Review: I myself have 1060's (the ony difference is the main speaker is on the left and on these it is on the right..no big difference.but they have GREAT SOUND..not like my old speakers..these work on any computer..you can adjust trebble/bass, volume, plug in headphones or a microphone (see my review on the good labtec am-242 microphone), and has it's own nifty on/off button. Get them during the holidy while there is free shipping! These are nice and compact so they are also great for the lap-top! but it..it's a great deal..'specially with free shipping
