Dell simple and weak speakers

Purchased at: Dell     Price: $21.00 USD

I was looking for simple and sleek -- I got simple and weak.These are lightweight two-piece black USB powered stereo speakers.The USB simply does not amplify the volume enough - 1.2W.There is a volume knob on the front that is easy to access, but it is pointless as I always have it all the way up.

I would recommend these for someone that wants a cheap lightweight speakers that are semi-portable to connect to a laptop.I would warn anyone that wants to use these to watch movies or music from a permanent location.ESPECIALLY if there is any background noise.

Pros: Easy to set-up, cost, portable, nice size & shape

Cons: Sound quality, very poor bass range and limited amplification

I am planning to purchase the Dell Speakers that mount under monitors.

Too bad these weren't what you needed. I got my speakers for my laptop for $10 at Walmart. They are so loud we have to turn down the volume when we have them hooked up.

They sure look nice. Too bad that's not what counts.

I hope that the new Dell speakers you plan on getting work out better for you. That's really too bad about this set of speakers.

What a shame they weren't what you thought they would be. Usually Dell is a good name to go by.

I never use the "come with" speakers. I got lucky that I received Boston Acoustics speakers and they were awesome:) I hate it when company;s offering computer packages always seem to cut corners on these things.

So would two tin cans and some wire do a better job?

I've heard this about Dell's standard speakers. I suppose they are not as sufficient as they should be, but Dell just gives you middle-of-the-road stuff for the full package when you buy their computers.
