Qsb 30-Watt USB Stereo Speaker Set (TUS510)

I bought these for my wife's computer. She rarely uses her speakers and didn't want to worry about the extra space the controls for her 2.1 speakers took up on her desk, This fits the bill.They are a little bigger than I expected, although they are smaller than what my wife had before. They feel a little cheaper than I expected, too, since they were originally $100 speakers. The sound is good. There is very little bass, but the mids and highs are crisp and loud when needed.They are pretty much plug and play. I connected them together first, then plugged them into the computer. We have Windows 10, and they were recognized immediately. You can adjust the volume for them through Windows volume control. It just works.Since I wasn't expecting the world, I got exactly what I wanted.

These are nice speakers and I am overall satisfied with them. My complaints are that they are not as loud as I had hoped and they often stop working until I unplug them from the USB port and plug them back in. This may be a problem with the ports on my asus laptop or with windows 7, but I'm not having that problem with any other USB device, so it could also be the speakers.

My expectations weren't super high for these USB speakers understanding that they are just 2.0 USB speakers in small form. Unfortunately the reviews built them up to be much better than average computer usb speakers. They look phenomenal, they have quality audio cables connecting them together and come in a nice looking carrying case.The sound... It's okay/average for USB speakers but nothing great. I previously was using the pioneer USB speakers sold on amazon for 35 or so and these honestly don't sound any better. The form factor and looks are without doubt better looking on the soundscience qsb's but after comparing the 2 back and forth back and forth, the Pioneer's are louder, more bass and IMO a little clearer in overall sound. You could say that the QSBs are smaller.. but just barely. The qsb's are thicker/wider and the pioneers are taller. I sound a little upset only because these are $90.00. For 35.00 (like the pioneers), I would be much happier.) I'll put some features on a scale from 1-10 so you can get a better idea where the speakers excel and where they lack.Case/portability: 10/10Style/looks: 10/10Quality/build: 9/10Treble/highs: 7/10Bass/lows: 5/10Max volume: 6/10 (the max volume is what seems like should be only 50-60% for these)Overall sound: 6/10Also, these speakers cannot handle piano notes/sounds. I've played with the equalizer for 20-30 minutes and can't find a sweet spot for piano. Plain distorted and unpleasant.All these ratings are absolutely taking into account that they are just 2.0 usb speakers. If they were powered by electric the scores would go way down.I will give these USB speakers a few more days to fully break in but I dont see any huge improvements coming through (will update review if I do)There's only about 4 reviews for these speakers (meaning trusted websites or expert reviews) and 2 of them mention a similar statement. Now I agree with them! It was that they sound overly trebly and harsh which becomes tiresome and exhausting to listen to them for more than 10-15 minutes. I am returning to using the pioneer usb's as they sound better and louder. The "looks" of the QSB's can keep them afloat for only so long.

It might sound that I am too demanding a customer. Well I am.I ordered these speakers and they wont ship to Canada. I tried to find them on ebay but the only guy selling from Neither-Land wont reply back. And ebay wont let me ship them to Canada as well.So I ordered them to a mail forwarder in US. And those guys charged me $40+ to ship to Canada. Paid $89.99 + state sales tax for the speakers itself. And Canada customs with brokerage $30+The seller has provided no much details on their website or on the Amazon listing about these speakers so here it is:Prada of the speakers - Designer looksComes with an equally good looking case - My thousand times more demanding girlfriend will love this case, thats for sure!Sounds FANTASTIC!Sound Input: Only USBPower: Same USB as the sound input.Inbuild Battery - NONE.Light indicator: NoneVolume knob - NoneBEWARE THESE SPEAKERS CAN ONLY BE USED WITH A LAPTOP!!Because it does not have inbuilt battery, I ordered a Mobile Battery Pack along with these speakers. Because I thought I could go out with my phone and connect the speakers with the battery pack. But it does not work that way. There is no way I could play music from my tab or portable mp3 player.So far I have played-BluesCountrySufiBollywoodGood sound quality is the reason I am still giving these speakers one star. Otherwise it would have been ZERO. If they would have shipped to Canada I would have given 4 stars. If I could connect with my phone to play music - 5 stars. If there was battery Six stars. And volume button 7 stars.

I had been looking for a set of speakers to use instead of my laptop's internal Harmon Kardon speakers which total 3watts. Expecting a major difference with my new 30w (total) speakers, I was very disappointed. They sound more full bodied, but lack the volume increase I was expecting.

These little speakers work way better than they should. With only a USB connection to the computer (and a cable between the two speakers, of course), this is an easy setup. Very stylish, and they work really well. When our granddaughters are over, they sometimes watch movies on the computer in their room. These speakers combined with the 27" Samsung monitor make a pretty good Netflix theater.Like I said in the headline, good looks, good sound, good price, easy setup.
