4.0 out of 5 stars Gives USB-powered amplified sound, May 31, 2008

By	Chu H. Choi (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The main feature on these speakers is that they can be USB-powered; no power outlet needed! They work seamlessly on my iMac using OS X 10.5.

These Pleomax speakers give pretty decent volume; I can get it pretty loud now in my 22' x 13' living room (probably ~50% louder than the iMac built-in speakers). You can't really increase the bass output or tweak the graphic EQ much, so not really recommended for people who care about music that much.

In case it's not clear from the product page, these guys are about 5" high and pretty heavy, so they stay put on a desk. Solid construction, but nothing special.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Powerfully for Their Size, June 17, 2008

By	Keith Pearce (Durant, OK USA) - See all my reviews

Despite their small size(4.5h"*2.5w") and low power(0.4watt) the Samsung Pleomax PSP-7000XB USB Crystal 2.0-Channel Speakers sound output is quite loud and good quality.These speakers plenty powerful enough for tv, games, and music for most people, though as a previous reviewer stated they have very little bass and I doubt they'd be loud enough if you would like to be able to hear music throughout your whole house.

I setup our old computer as an secondary tv but I needed better speakers so I tried these. When I first took them out of the box I didn't think they would be powerfully enough because they were so small but they produced surprisingly loud and good quality sound.These speakers are also very portable because they use very little power and they receive both there sound and power from one USB port making them great laptop speakers.Though they clam to produce virtual 7.1 I didn't notice much difference when this was turned on or off but you might have to be in a very small room for this to work.

The included USB audio program can boost the volume up to 12dB with out any distortion(you can do this by clicking the digital volume button in the USB 3D Sound Configuration menu and moving the two volume sliders to +12dB).

Also you can use the 7.1 virtual surround sound with headphones(and it sounds better with headphones then it does with the speakers) by plugging your headphones in to the speakers' USB adapter, going in to the USB 3D Sound Configuration menu, switching the USB audio program to headphone mode, and turning down the speaker volume by clicking the digital volume button and moving the two volume sliders to -20dB.

3.0 out of 5 stars Didn't meet expectations from these reviews, August 12, 2008

By	A. Magoon (Connecticut) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased this product based on the reviews here. I needed cheap USB speakers that are shielded so they don't emit interference from nearby cellphones. This pair fits the bill.

These speakers are _not bad_ but the other reviews make it seem like they're great sounding, loud speakers. The fact is that they are not great, but they are probably better than what came with your computer -- or maybe not. Samsung makes quality products. These are compact, attractive and well built. At their price, they represent a good value and they do work either via speaker output (headphone) jack or USB, which is a great benefit. They are split from a single 1/8" headphone jack that plugs into an included USB dongle (which actually provides the sound card functionality; Vista instantly recognized and I did not use the included software on CD)

So buy them with the understanding that they are NOT surprisingly loud, as so many of these 5-star reviews made me believe. They are simply an above-average pair of small USB speakers.
