great computer speakers with optical in
592027
for the last 10 years I have used a mini stereo as my computer speakers, had the analog go into the JVC CD player/receiver, and the 10 watt speakers worked perfectly, I just liked the sound better than cheap computer speakers and didn't want a 5.1 setup.  After I built my last computer I noticed a buzzing coming from the speakers which was really annoying (and this happened when no cell phones were around it).  I read that an optical connection should eliminate this problem.  So I starting looking for a pair of speakers with optical in, but the trick was that I didn't want a 5.1 system, just wanted 2 speakers which for me is great for games and casual music listening.

I found these speakers which seemed to be just what I needed, the price was a little steep for computer speakers but since I also wanted quality I had to except it.  Hooked them up last night, no more buzzing, the sound is GREAT, I couldn't believe how clear and crisp it was and it had decent base too.  I was a little dissapointed there was no subwoofer out since I do have a mini sub in that room, but don't really need it.  I cranked it up to see how much space it would fill and I could hear it perfectly clear in both bedrooms on the same level without maxing the volume.

These speakers are a little big, bigger than my mini stereo JVC speakers but they aren't too bad, right speaker is sort of heavy as that has the amp in it, left is pretty light.  I would recommend these for anyone wanting computer speakers with optical in and don't need full surround sound for their games, no better option out there.

These replaced a set of Illusion Audio C3CX speakers in my A-Pillars. WOW! The transparency and imaging is rivaling my home system.

These speakers are great. I have them connected to a Dell Studio Laptop. I use them mainly to listen to [...]. It blows in internal laptop speakers away. Good bass, and a very good overall sound. They will fill an average room with more than adequate sound. They are great for streaming movies on the laptop as well.
Plug and play.
One small detail is that sometimes I must go to control panel, and in sound devices, I must choose these speakers. Once done, they continue to be primary speakers until I either disconnect them, or change back to internal speakers.
The price on Amazon varies greatly some as high as 58 dollars<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Logitech-V20-Notebook-Speakers-PC-multimedia-speakers/dp/B002A55G4I/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Logitech V20 Notebook Speakers - PC multimedia speakers</a>&nbsp;and some as low as 40 dollars, be careful.&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Logitech-V20-Notebook-Speakers-Black/dp/B0009WKBGC/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Logitech V20 Notebook Speakers (Black)</a>

I can't tell you how pleased I am with these!  The sound is AWESOME and they were beyond easy to install.  It literally took me less than 5 minutes.  I highly recommend these to anyone looking for speakers for their computer.  The price is NOT bad either!

Easy to set up. just plug them in.. They sounds excellent  for such small speakers . I love them. Thanks .

I selected these monitors based on the USB input so that the sound card in my computer was not part of the audio quality. This creates great flexibility for a laptop using a docking station with USB ports. With windows 7, the speakers were plug and play. THey sound good, have plenty of volume, and very good bass response for 3" drivers ( I don't use the bass boost). I would buy these again, mostly for the USB input.

I bought these speakers to go along with my LG LED HD Monitor EW224T to have high quality PC and console gaming.  I plugged my xbox via VGA and plugged the sound into the speakers and they worked perfectly.  The design is sleek, black, and the speakers have grooves on the back of them to wrap excess cord use around.  They sound very well I was surprised how well they sound and they can get loud if the situation deems so.  I highly reccomend this product for computers and consoles.

I have these plugged into a Mac Mini on a desk and they sit about 3 ft away from where I sit. They are easy to connect and they replaced some old WangTex 4" speakers that were on stands. These are only rated 10W but they blow the older, larger speakers away.

The clarity of sound is excellent. I played classical music, soundtrack music, rock music and anime music - they all sound great. I own some $$ speakers and I am a musician/audiophile who is generally v. picky about the quality of sound delivered by any audio source.
Straight out of the box these sounded great. Easy to connect and lots of different combinations possible. I have them connected via the RCA inputs.
The USB feature does not power the speakers, it simply allows you to use a USB connection to input sound from a source, such as a PC.

I had thought about buying the M1 Active 520 speakers instead for $100 more, but they are just too big for my desktop.
All in all a really versatile, really nice sounding pair of speakers for just $79 here at Amazon.

I probably would not be happy with these as studio monitors, since the bass frequency response is limited by the size of the cones. Ditto for anyone who wants to use these as their main music speakers; that's not realistic for a speaker of this size.

As portable speakers or as computer desktop speakers I have not heard anything that is even close to the quality of these speakers for their price.
PS. I don't like the Bass Boost switch on the back, it is too artificial and really adds nothing to the great 'flat' quality inherent in these speakers.

Highly Recommended!

This speakers are amazing very happy with this purchase. If you are looking for good surround sound for your computer these are great, and very easy to setup. I figured it out and had them setup in this than 5 minutes. The sound quality is good, and I feel like this was a great deal.

Best computer speakers I have ever owned!  The sound is very rich with the adjustable base.  Makes a computer sound like a stereo system!  I now have another system for the laptop!

I ordered and I received these today.  These were installed in a computer that is in one of our conference rooms.  I was not looking for surround sound, TXH or anything similar.  Just a good pair of speakers to occasionally use when doing presentations, safety videos and the likes.  I will say that these speakers exceeded my expectations!.  Bass is adequate, highs are crisp and volume is great in a 40' x 25'  conference room.  I did a couple of tests ...  CD music, Web radio station, and YouTube ....  Great sound.  Plus for the price it is a good deal.  They should be a good addition to you home computer as well.  But remember .... these are 2.0 speakers ...  Creative has a great product!

Good sound, simple to install, big upgrade from the speakers built in to my monitor. These are inexpensive, look good, and sound good - all I need for my computer. I don't attempt to listen to high quality stereo at my desk. When I want that, I have a much better system for that purpose.

These speakers are great!  I use them with a Windows 10 computer and I also use a program with an equalizer.  I like the treble range and the speakers produce that fine.  I am not into heavy bass, but these speakers play the bass range very well.  There is no distortion at very high volumes. Good value at this price range.

I put these on my"list" shortly before Christmas 2016 because I was unhappy with the speakers I had on my PC. But then I bought a dedicated sound card for my PC and made my current speakers so much better that I never bought these Logitech speakers. My wife bought these for me for Xmas 2016 because they were on my list and she didn't have any other gift ideas for me. So since I was happy with the speaker setup I had they sat in the box until today (12/25/2017). I decided to put them to use on my PC because I wanted to re-purpose the ones currently on my PC for a retro-arcade that I built because they were sized well for the application. WOW had I known these Logitech speakers sounded this good I would have swapped them out on day one. these are very very impressive for PC speakers.

Just wanted to add my "voice" to the others here who are pleased with these speakers.  Great sound from such small speakers (and the small subwoofer)!  Perfect in size and looks for black or deep dark blue notebooks or netbooks.  The volume control at first seemed odd (a separate small round control), but actually has turned out to be a very nice extra.  For the price, these are an outstanding buy.

These speakers are great for their price! Just don't expect super loud/super deep bass, as they are only computer speakers.

Very nice speakers for the price, and the sound is good - comparable to any speakers in the price class, and are better than many that I have had.  The attractiveness of the speaker is much higher than average, they look good on a nice desk.
