I bought a set of these in the past, still used in the family room, and they work fine, nothing stellar. As for the blue light, it can be fixed fairly easily by unscrewing the bottom and either taping over the light or using some black paint. Takes like a minute to do.

I've had these speakers for a couple of years. They are great general purpose speakers. I love that they are USB powered. I was concerned about the blue light and was planning to do the mod to disable it but after I started using it, I found the blue lights to be a non-issue. I had initially purchased the Pebble 2.0 speakers by Creative, these sound much better.

Reviews say good quality sound but blue LED lights that you can't turn off. I need a pair for the office so that's fine w/ me!
For these sorts of annoyances, I just borrow a nail polish and give said LED 2-3 coats. You can also use a sharpie over a couple of days to really knock it down

I have these. Two sets. One to help an el-cheapo laptop that has crap built-in speakers, and one to add sound to a flight sim setup.

They're..... eh.... adequate. They're small, but for their size sound perfectly okay. As y'all have surmised, audio runs from the 3.5mm pin and the USB is for power. You need both. They're not necessarily designed to be portable, so wherever you park these you may find, as I did, that you may prefer to have a dedicated USB power source for them rather than tying up one from the PC itself.

They do the job. If I had a need for another pair I'd get them. Heck, I might get them anyway, as I paid more for them last year ($15.63 and $18.01, Warehouse Used - Very Good) than what Woot is asking for them now and having a spare pair might prove useful down the road.

Its been my experience (3+ times) that speakers powered ONLY by USB are not loud and WAY underpowered. My recent pair I picked up (an older Logitech set) was less loud than my stock laptop speakers (cheap $200 reman HP). Just an FYI. I'd buy these if they were powered. But USB only powered is an issue.

They aren't anything fancy, but they have been great for my basic setup. The blue leds stay on all of the time, which is a bit annoying, but not a big deal.

I bought these in August for $20. Just needed something for my office speakers and they sound good. The speaker isn't built cheap either, they are fairly heavy for small speakers which is great since they won't easily move around on your desk. For this price I may buy a second set so I can use for my laptop when I travel.

Grabbed a set for my work laptop. The laptop speakers are quite quiet. Meetings where I'm just listening and not wearing my headset are hard to hear. These will be perfect for hearing speakers in meetings. Thanks OP.

This. Speakers that can only use 5 volts max are not going to be very useful. I'd be surprised if they'd even be an upgrade for built in speakers in a cheapie laptop,

For those wanting a pure usb speaker for work etc. can try the dual 5w speaker sold by Abrru...usually goes for 15 usd on Amazon. It's actually decent and much better than laptop speakers and has geld up well. It's run troguh my caldigit usbc soho hub as primary and is connected to it by usb c on an anker hub. Lovely for what it is. Got detected by windows and Linux.

I have a couple of sets of these. As usb powered speakers go, these are exceptional. Now to be clear, these are not going to match a powered set with a sub like the Klipsch speaker deals of past. It is ridiculous to even compare them. But for what they are, they sound fantastic.
They have some base. They can actually get loud. They are clear and rich. You are not going to get a better set in the $10 range than this.

As for the LED light...... Yes, it is true, you cannot turn the light off. If you simply cannot sleep because of the blinding light from these LEDs, you might want to stop drinking that 8th cup of coffee.

Listen to the audio samples in these reviews and judge for yourself:

According to customer reviews, the USB is only for power and 3.5mm is required for audio, so it's not really meant for devices that lack a headphone jack (I suppose you can use an adapter, but then you will need another USB port or wall adapter to supply power).
Those videos are hilarious. The second guy says the frequency response is 80-20,000Hz but in reality more like 85-50,000.
In every demo, they sound like a clock radio, or a simple midrange with a whizzer cone. Maybe 250Hz to 6000Hz.
You are getting what you pay for here.

With the Klipsch Promedia hitting $50 fairly often now, it's pretty hard to justify spending less than that unless you really don't care at all about sound quality

it's a hit or miss with that since some have static sound when you are not playing. I have to get a replacement from Walmart last time.
