OROW S211 New USB-Powered 2.1 Multimedia Speakers System with Subwoofer,16W Computer Speakers,Strong Bass,3.5mm Audio Inputs,Great for PC/PS4/TV (Wooden)

Initial impressions using in a small basement with USB-C charger for power and an 80s EQ are it is a good value! Sounds nice and very responsive to the EQ. Good sound. :)

Sounds great. The controls on the back are annoying, but I can deal with it. Finally would have been better to have signal and power on the same connector and better a USBC then USBA. But that's my issue not theirs.

USB-powered speakers are expected to be basic, low-powered speakers. When I saw this unit was a 2.1 system with a sub, I laughed. For $24 can't hurt to try. Fired them up, blasted some tunes, it's not bad. Speakers are much louder (without clipping) than I expected. They're loud enough for listening to music and youtube videos. They're not hi-fidelity 100W speakers, so set your expectations prior to purchase. Wattage = Power = how loud they go before sounding like junk. When hooking them up, be sure to use the most modern USB port you have; USB 3.0, 3.1, 3.2 (whatever Intel calls it these days, names change a lot) as the USB power spec is much higher on newer ports than older ports. E.g. - USB 2.0 is rated for 5V 0.5A = 2.5 Watts. As you crank the volume, you'll potentially nuke your USB controller from overdraw or cause intermittent USB Mouse and Keyboard issues (like I experienced). USB 3.0 is rated at 5 Volts & 0.9 Amps = 4.5 Watts, which is plenty. Remember, this unit is rated for 16W, this is the MAX draw they can pull, not the Max they'll get, which depends on your USB ports. If you have the option to, get a cheap, powered USB Hub, so you can provide dedicated power to the speakers without nerfing your motherboard's USB controller. Or, get a simple Y cable to pull power from 2 ports at the same time. My USB power is fine, but at much higher volumes, my motherboard's USB started calling it quits. I switched power from onboard to a powered USB hub rated for 30W, and it's fine. I daresay it got a bit louder since it has more power to use :) Overall, great speakers for the money. My objective was met: Pump some tunes and don't break the bank!

These are really good for the price but keep in mind that the bookshelf speakers are small so without the sub on its gonna sound "tin-ish" by default however if you run the sub high and tune it with a soundcard these will sound amazing, the total lack of distortion honestly blew me away especially at the tuning I run, I was even able to produce music on these with ease, definitely recommend these to anyone looking for a solid budget 2.1 audio system solution!

Speakers have been returned. Purchased to conceal and loop soft ambient soundscape tracks. Looked good, the perfect size to hide away. Low volume sounded rich, clear, not hollow or tinny...perfect...for about 2 minutes, then nothing. Never made another sound. I never even got to experience the 'distant thunderstorm' track. I tried several audio and power sources without results. Have plugged my 25 year old Compaq speakers back in. Was worth a go for $30.00 for a 3 pc speakers set, so I'll just keep looking.

I work from home and online. And I can only stand so much silence around me while doing my job. And I love music. And laptop computer speakers just cannot get the job done when attempting to replicate the thumping bass notes from my favorite rock songs. So I looked around on Amazon, did some price comparisons, and settled on this twin speaker/subwoofer set. Now, the desktop speakers are not huge but the sub is powered and has its own volume control so I can set it for the power level of BOOM that I want. And I love the BOOM so it's set pretty high. The quality of sound is light years beyond computer speakers and I have the desktop speakers set to either side of my laptop (I have an additional three screens tethered to the laptop) so the set up is a little tight. But it is SO worth it! The sub is set on the floor by my feet and it keeps my toes very happy tappin' as it thumps out the low end of the tunes. Super easy to set everything up, just plug and play. If you're looking for a compact speaker set that also has some very good sound reproduction this setup fits the bill!

I bought these speakers a couple of years ago. To my experience these speakers offer impressive sound quality for their low price point. The audio is clear, and the bass is surprisingly decent for such an affordable product. The USB-powered design is a huge plus—it eliminates the need for extra outlets, making them super convenient for use with a computer or other devices. Their compact size and lightweight design are also standout features, fitting nicely on a desk or in small spaces without being intrusive. However, there are a few drawbacks. The cables are quite short, which limits placement options and makes it hard to set up the subwoofer on the floor while keeping the satellite speakers on the desk. Another inconvenience is that the volume and bass controls are located on the back of the subwoofer, which can be tricky to access, especially if it’s tucked under a desk or behind furniture. Lastly, while the sound quality is decent for everyday use. To make these speakers even better, longer cables would provide more flexibility for setup. Relocating the controls to a more accessible spot—or adding a remote control—would make adjustments a breeze. Overall, these speakers are a fantastic option for the price, offering solid performance for casual use, but a few tweaks could take them to the next level!

So this is a good system if you want a crisp sound . If you are looking for BIG bass this is not the unit! For obvious reasons anyone who knows about quality sound at very high volume you need to pay some good money . The company would have an ideal product considering price if they would include a power block. They seem to market this product as a "plug in your laptop " and get great sound . Maybe thats possible at a lower volume . I plugged in mine to a 1.5 amp 5 volt block that was tested and in good working order. I had it connected to a record player via aux jack to rca adapter I got a lot of clipping at 3/4 way volume . The crisp sound that it produced was pretty impressive though it was seldom clipping .At full volume it was shut itself down after 10/ 15 seconds, probably a safe mode feature in the electric circuit. I did not have or another higher amprage power block but Im pretty sure that was the issue. I did not connect to my laptop in fear that it would draw to much power from the usb port and did not want to risk burning that port. I probably would have kept it if I had a better power block which I think it needed. Over all sound was very crisp the highs were really excellent bass was better heard at lower volume. I really would not suggest plugging this into a laptop usb until one could find out first what the amp draw/capacity is on your laptop, tv , or any other device with a usb powered port unless you can care less for that particular device. My opinion, a sufficient power block would be a 5 volt 3 amp or higher for this to live a long healthy life . Sound is good!
