They are speakers

In the box you get a left speaker AND a right speaker, not just a left speaker like with other brands. Even though they float you shouldn't use them in the bath, found that one out the hard way.

It's not always the biggest, brawniest guy that ends up winning. Captain Toad may be small and he may not be able to jump very high or run fast, but what he lacks in sheer strength and size he more than makes up for in intelligence and perception. Embark on a solo adventure as the brave Captain Toad in Captain Toad Treasure Tracker. Arrayed with only a neck scarf, backpack and oversize head lamp, you'll have to primarily rely on your resources of wit and perspective to make it through a dangerous world brimming with treacherous enemies, puzzles, traps and secrets. Are you ready to set off on a mind-bending adventure filled with hidden threats?Captain Toad Treasure Tracker plants you in a world comprised of a wide variety of tricky, enemy-infested, maze-like stages where your main prerogative is to survive while you find hidden items and eventually nab the elusive gold star at the end of each stage. Each stage is its own puzzle that must be solved — all while collecting hidden items that are littered throughout in hard-to-reach places, such as gems, coins and powerups. Unveil secret locations and get a closer look at secluded dangers by using your Wii U GamePad's gyro controls to peer around. Do you have the necessary smarts to survive a profusion of puzzles, a ton of traps, plenty of platforms and an abundance of attackers? Survive each stage's secrets and seize the stars in Captain Toad Treasure Tracker.

Great puzzle game

Captain Toad is a great puzzle game, the camera can be a little frustrating at times but I'm fair sure that's by design. The menu could use a makeover, but it's not bad enough to detract from the overall experience.

Works great in Super Smash Bros. Works great with Wavebirds. Hopefully this signifies that Nintendo is planning on bringing Gamecube games to the VC!

It's a Mario

It's a great little plastic statute. No it's not worth $80 like Marth, Wii Fit Trainer, or Villager (why didn't someone tell me Nintendo was discontinuing those when they were abundant? I could have retired.) but it's a great little representation of Mario. And you can do things with it in certain games too, I haven't done anything with that yet.

Can I use these for a PC whose internal speakers are non-functional, or at least presently not recognized by the system?

I have a relatively old Windows Vista HP laptop whose speakers have a tendency to work on and off, with the left being seemingly permanently broken. At any rate, now neither works, & as far as I know, they may never work. The message that I get when I have hover over the Taskbar icon for sound is, “No Audio Output Device is installed.” Headphones don't work, either—any headphones. Now, if I buy these, am I going to get sound?
No. It sounds like your sound card is shot. You can try reinstalling the audio device driver as it might be a software problem, but more than likely it's hardware.
