Bought for my computer they sound great and cover what I need them for. Also bought some for my kids teachers so all the kids can hear and they work great
Payed a lot for these in southern China. Connected to iMac, macbook pro, mac mini. Blue light comes on. Speaker icon on display. No sound. Finally plugged usb from speaker into an iPod charger. Ran cord from computer headphone to aux in on speaker. Works great, sounds great. Try these in a store before you buy.
Great sound and power, simply amazing how they can get all of that just from a USB port, with no AC power. For most users these will be plenty of power for desktop application. Cool volume control sync that contols PC's volume. Also nice that you can use a USB power supply with them and use the aux in if you don't want to use a PC.
Here's the problem. That orange trim and cables is really terrible. Everything else is awesome. The orange ruins them. Make an all black model and I'll buy them again.
I am super impressed by these speakers. I love how easy they are to hook up and I like how they look (the orange is cool!). But more than anything I love how they sound. There are louder speakers out there for sure, and some with heavier bass, but these speakers have a rich, full, warm sound that makes music sound heavenly. They are especially good with vocals and acoustic music.
I bought these for my husband's computer and he loves them. He wanted some for Christmas and almost bought himself another brand. He is glad that he didn't.
LOVE these little gems! They have the wonderful JBL sound I've known to love (have them on my stereo system too). I had originally purchased a pair of Bose speakers (at $100) and I was really disappointed with the sound. When I saw JBL made computer speakers, I was in. They are a great price point. USB powered and I don't get any feedback or noise interference issues with all the cords I have sitting around them (I did with the Bose!). The small footprint is really appreciated too. Finally - I love their funky little shape! Thanks JBL!!
Easy to set up, sound range from bass to treble is pleasantly reproduced using only the USB power from my computer. Little footprint on an already crowded desk.
