For $20 the sound from these can't be expected to be room-filling but if you want an attractive and compact 2-piece set for casual music listening and computer "event sounds" you could do worse. Even at high volume there is little distortion.

These are unusual in that they don't use a separate power cube; the 120V power cord goes right into one of them, and a fat wire connecting them probably carries both power and signal to the other. None of these cables are detachable. Separate bass and treble controls would have been nice, but the trick here is to make use of the equalizer function built into most modern PC music player programs to boost the higher frequencies. However, bass can become muddy if you try to boost the lower end more than just a little. Good placement and orientation also is critical. In my case I have added a separate subwoofer; with all of the preceding elements I'm hearing sweet music indeed.

They look good, sound good and are a great value for the price.

These speakers have a hum that is quite audible and unpleasant, even when the volume is at zero. Another reviewer also had this problem. Either it is a manufacturing defect, or poor design, but a $25 speaker shouldn't suffer from this problem. For this reason, I recommend not purchasing this speaker.

I bought these speakers because my old ones would interfere with my cell phone. These speakers do not.

I bought these for a 1.25 Ghz G4 PowerMac, hoping to find an inexpensive speaker solution. The sound from these guys is pretty decent, especially for the price. However, 2 annoying issues persist that have me sending them back. 1) When you turn the speakers on, a very loud pop comes flying out. Sounds like a mini-explosion. 2) There is a continous low level "hum" that is perfectly annoying, especially if no music is playing. I've done lots of testing and it has nothing to do with my computer or soundcard as both issues exist if the computer is turned off or even if the X-120's are in a completely different room and not plugged into any audio device. It's too bad, because the sound is otherwise pretty good. I'm returning these and buying JBL Creature II's instead. My foray into cheap speakers is over, hopefully the more expensive, and sheilded, JBL's will be better........we shall see....

for $20, these speakers sound pretty good. They have separate treble/bass and volume level controls, a headphone output, and more than adequate power for novice music playing.

I just got the Logitech x-120 Compact Powered Speakers for only $9.96 with free shipping it was worth every dollar. The sounds is really great quality for loud or low music or other sounds.

They're okay in the world of super cheap speakers. The slight hum they have even when turned all the way down is quite annoying. Bass is surprisingly decent for not having a sub (granted a sub would be leaps and bounds better still).

Excellent sound for the price, good and solid build. However be advised if you connect your headphones through them it will sound a lot worse. So if you want to switch between these and headphones I recommend getting a Y-splitter to pipe sound to both and turn off the speakers when you don't need them.

When there is sound for these speakers to play, its fine and sounds quite nice. However, regardless of the volume setting, there is a residual hum which only stops when you turn off the power. It is very noticable and very very annoying.

Unless you are in an environment where there is a lot of background noise, you will be driven you to return them. Even though these are approx $10 in price, it is still not worth it.

Don't buy them, you will be wasting your money.
