Hey everyone, this is my very quick review of the extremely affordable PC speakers from Amazons Basics range. The A100 are very fairly priced but in a market full of affordable speakers, can the A100 stand out?

Do they work on ps4
should i get these or the z150 Logitech
can u use that with a ps4
Not a bad sound at all.
Weston these would be ideal for powered rear speakers in a 5.1 PC setup as they seem top heavy
My vagina is pink <3
Nice Video man
A really good alternative is the SoundScience QSB speakers they used to be really expensive, but are £15 now on amazon. They use some interesting tech, that allows them to produce a lot more sound than your typical usb powered speakers.
Do you think that they will fill a medium sized room?
why do u say z like zed
How deep they go in HZ? can they do 80HZ?
I just ordered this. I’m still using my 8 year old speakers and the right one finally gave out. Speakers used to cost an arm and a leg back then so this is a nice deal and a big upgrade for me. I just use my speakers when I want to take a break from headphones.
Sound is not bad.Mine comes tomorrow.Thanks for review.
dawg, thats a goofy mouse tbh
No bass??? finally a speaker that doesn’t exaggerate the bass
are the usb 2.0
Try the $12 CD-quality Trust Leto PC speakers (Polo in the USA). They’re loud enough for some people in a medium-sized room. Use a USB extension cable to cut interference.
Hi! I don’t know will you be interested to do some low end micro PC T-amps. For example, the Lepai TA2020A+, Dayton DTA-100, FX-Audio D802, Takas A50, Topping, Popu or SMSL etc. Some people are already doing those (Z-Review, Deskfi …) but the I like your reviews and sound tests much more. I just think those T-amps are emerging and getting more and more attentions…
Damn, this is well made.
They sound fine to me, you can always download an equalizer that will give you bass
what if i dont have a 3.5mm aux port in my computer?
Nice review, will be getting them in a couple of days.
well this work on a Xbox?
does it have bass. i need it for gaming
AmazonBasics A100 PC speakers are the greatest entry-level USB-driven speakers available now. They’re inexpensive. They’re hardly organic. http://www.speakergy.com/best-amazonbasics-usb-powered-computer-speakers-review/
sick name
It is worth saying that on a windows 10 laptop/pc you will need to restart your computer for the speakers to work for the first time.
do they work on a phone
