AmazonBasics USB Powered Computer Speakers Dynamic Reviews Summary

Design and Aesthetics

Pros:

• "The speakers have a ring of blue light around their base, this is, by itself, pretty cool."
• "Yes, they're nice to look at and they bring a modern and stylish aesthetic to my computer set up."
• "The blue light is pleasant to look at."
• "They light up a nice blue colour and give decent sound for the size."
• "The Amazon Basics Speakers have a sleek and modern appearance that effortlessly complements any setup."
• "They look great with the blue LED lights."
• "The blue light on the bottom of each speaker is kind of cool."

Cons:

• "The only thing about these I don't care for is the blue light that won't turn off."
• "The blue light that stays on the whole time the computer is on which is annoying at night."
• "The only way to turn off the lights is to unplug the USB cable from the power source, whatever it is."
• "The LED lights are on permanently and to my eyes are too bright to ignore."
• "The glowing blue lights can not be turned off without unplugging the speakers."
• "One downside is that they have LED lights built in and for whatever reason, they stay lit even with the computer off."
• "The bright blue LEDs don't have an off switch which sucks if you just put your computer in sleep mode."

Sound Quality

Pros:

• "These have a very clear sound and base quality."
• "The sound quality is good enough."
• "Amazon basics did a great job. They’re small yet loud and clear."
• "The sound quality is great & I absolutely love the blue light that shines at the base of these speakers!"
• "The voice sound, though, is excellent: clear and clean but not raspy, thin, tinny, or spitty like, say, an iPhone built-in speaker."
• "They produce a clear and balanced sound that enhances my audio experience."
• "The sound is great and they look good on the desk."

Cons:

• "The sound quality is very poor. They cut in and out on the aux port."
• "However, the audio quality is laughably bad - there is zero bass."
• "The sound quality is disappointing, regardless of the price."
• "They simple don't hold up. Mine need to be replaced just 11 months after purchase."
• "The sound quality isn't that great, there's a lack of range and pretty much zero bass."
• "This wasn't any louder than my phone volume. I suppose it would be fine for it's intended use but the volume is really poor."
• "Any and all volume past 50 makes the worst echo noise!"

Usability and Functionality

Pros:

• "Simple ease of use (simply plug and play)."
• "It can run off a portable charger battery, which is nice."
• "I connected them right to the Switch dock's USB and audio jack and it worked instantly."
• "They work just as they did out of the box."
• "I just plugged these directly into my PC."
• "Set up was easy."
• "These speakers were straightforward to set up, requiring minimal effort to get them working."

Cons:

• "They do take up two ports however."
• "The volume control is on the cord and feels very cheap."
• "The only complaint is that there is no marker to tell you which is for the left and which is for the right."
• "The USB connection doesn't even link up on my computer as speakers so it only works via aux."
• "The little dial for the sound is in an awkward place behind one of the speakers so when wanting to lower the volume from the speaker its a little bit of a hassle."
• "Volume should be a knob on one of the speakers."
• "The USB and audio input are on one cord and you have to peel them apart to create enough length."
