Review: Best speakers for Pc under £100 - I do get fed up with reviews that compare other speakers at vastly different price points; that makes no sense. For £100, you get a smart-looking set of speakers with a flimsy remote (it works just fine ) and all the leads you require to set them up straight out of the box. I pre-set bass and treble to midpoints and adjusted the final volume on my PC to my requirements; otherwise, it was way too loud. The size is perfect on either side of the 32" monitor, and you get reasonable sound staging. However, if the monitor is desk-mounted, it is probably best to use wedges to angle the sound. I'm definitely upgrading from my Logitech Z200, and I'm finally moving towards reasonable Hi-Fi sound without breaking the bank for occasional music use. I wish it were a two-year warranty for peace of mind.
Review: Top drawer speakers - I was replacing an ageing IMac with a Mac Mini. The iMac sounded ok but as the mini only has a basic speaker I decided to upgrade. These arrived with typical desertcart efficiency and I connected them up with the supplied 3.5mm to twin phono cable supplied to the ‘master’ speaker, the ‘slave’ was then connected with the supplied coloured cable. Powered it up and all was good to go! Wow! To be fair they are not top end hifi speakers but placed either side of a monitor they are more than adequate for any of my needs and for less than £100. They struggle a bit at high volume but my ears were starting to complain anyway! At lower - more sensible - volumes they are fantastic. It’s a nice novelty to be able to removed the front grills and to have a remote control, but most users I think would use there computers sound controls. You will need a reasonably sized desk to place them along side your set up, but they could be mounted on the wall. They definitely do what they say on the tin. There is no Bluetooth however you can connect a second phono input device but there is no switching between the two. Just turn off the one you don’t need. All in all recommended.

## Features

- 2 x AUX INPUT - Convenient connection to any device that has a 3.5mm headphone output or dual RCA output. Connect to two devices via AUX at the same time, no plugging and switching needed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little computer speakers
*by J***6 on 23 May 2023*

I've had these little speakers for a couple of years now, connected to my Acer computer in my office. They sit on a bookshelf behind my desk. They are great little speakers, with very clear sound & good bass for their size coming from the little 4" drivers. The dome twitters have a useful guard in front of them for protection, and there is a 1.5" flared bass port between the two. They look really nice with the wood-effect & silver casings, and I have removed the grilles, as I think they look & sound better like this. There are two phono inputs, Aux & PC, and this is the one I have connected my computer to. I'm not sure if there's any difference between the two. You can't switch or fade between the two inputs, so if they both have a signal, you will hear them both at the same time. They can achieve good volume levels if you turn them up, and this is easy to do via the little remote control. I mostly use them to listen to YouTube videos, and with my TV card. I also have a lot of music on Windows media Player. I'm really happy with these speakers, and they sound as good if not better than any others I've seen or heard. They do look really attractive as well, with the wooden sides.
