Just to clarify a reviewer's comments below--these speakers do NOT come with a headphone jack. The plug in the front is for input from the likes of iPod or other MP3 players. Like it says in the product description: "Digital input on right speaker connects to iPod, MP3 player, CD player, or other audio device".

They sound nice, perfect for desktop use.

Given the diminuative size, you get excellent bass response not typically found in such a small unit. Very crisp highs without being "tinny" and very little distortion at loud volume levels. A bargain at twice the price.

I got these a while back with my Compaq monitor and I've got to say they are pretty dang decent. Their high and mids are pretty decent---slightly below par with the Logitech X-530's and their lows are rather lacking(probably due to the lack of a subwoofer). However for the price they are great, especially if you're looking to save space or just replace your moms speakers etc. They are also incredibly tough--I've dropped mine several times on hardwood floors with no problem.

All in all a good deal.

I have been very impressed with these speakers for the price. I use my computer mainly for work purposes, so its usually just for background music, but I'm still quite pleased. I previously owned a very nice set of Altec speakers that cost about three times as much, and I would say that these are just as good of quality. These were originally sold for HP computers, and therefore just come in a plain box, so they probably wouldn't be good for gift giving. Even though they are marketed or made for HP they work fine with any computer. If you are looking for a standard set of speakers at a great price, without compromising quality, I would certainly recommend this set!

bought these speakers for $9.99 with free shipping. good deal, nice speakers with bettter than expected sound quality, but these might not be for you if you are looking for bass/treble controls and very high quality sound from $10 speakers.

Nice speakers, bought in 2006 and NO problems whatsoever with them and they are still working!

I upgraded from some speakers I purchased when I built my system. The sound difference was wonderful. It is a clean crisp fresh sound. Worth every penny.

These sound great. Far and away better then the Creative SBS260 Speakers. I bought both to see if there was any difference. I have given away the SBS260's and am ordering 2 JBL's for my wife and daughter's computers. Highly recommend for the price.

Bought them for pretty cheap. Around 30 bucks if I remember right.
The sound is good, pretty good low end for having no subwoofer. I listen to a lot of rock and they're pretty good for it. The only complaint I have is that the sound is a little bit muddy, seems like they're overcompensating and blasting the bass a little bit. I use them in a dorm room and they work well for a pair of dorm room speakers. Definitely not high end though, so if you're looking for higher quality sound, you're going to have to dish out a little more cash. They get the job done though.

These speakers are great. Very good sound quality in both treble and bass. I don't know if I received a newer model than one of the other reviewers but mine did have a headphone jack on them....
