Amazon Basics Bluetooth Computer Speakers

I am actually quite impressed with the Amazon Basics Bluetooth and USB Computer Speakers. The speakers are actually quite heavy (more so than they appear at first glance). I am also pleased with the sound quality. Certainly, I would not expect speakers of this size and price point to reproduce Concert Hall quality sound and would not plan to use them for watching movies, concerts or other complex sound intensive events. Yes, bass is not a forte for these speakers, but for general PC sound and even some basic music, these are more than adequate. They are capable of playing at near 100% volume without major distortion. For my needs, I typically have the volume set between 50-75%. For this level of sound, these speakers do not disappoint. Available USB ports on my PC are limited, so I opted to plug the USB into an adapter into a wall outlet. I fully expected to need to run an AUX cable in order get the sound from my PC. However, these connected immediately to my PC's Bluetooth and starting playing. So, no cable needed! There are some comments regarding the wired connection between the speakers and the control pod. I personally don't have a problem with that. I placed the speakers on either side of my monitor (see photo) and laid the control pod underneath the monitor. While out of the way, the controller is easily accessible (more so than either of the speakers) to adjust the volume (but I find just using the Sound Mixer option on my task bar to be easier) and control the accent lighting (which is a nice plus for these). 5 STARS AND I DO RECOMMEND THIS ITEM I write honest reviews based on real life experience with each item to help others make informed purchases.
