Amazon Basics AC Powered 2.1 30W Bluetooth Computer Speakers with Subwoofer

This Speakers were a great buy. It works, it sounds good, Bluetooth does work on it. I noticed I sometimes had issues connecting the Bluetooth up to my computer, but I also power them off at night before bed and when they aren't in use for long periods of time. It's just not great at reconnecting back up. But I was able to plug it in directly to my computer and that works great. I am happy I am actually looking at how I can connect it to my TV now. Also the Bluetooth connectivity is still amazing if I want to connect it to my phone

Very impressed with these speakers - loud as you want and very clear, unmuddied sound. Subwoofer delivers booming low notes and main speakers do a great job with the midtones and highs. Subwoofer just fits under my desk and main speakers are small enough to disappear just behind the monitor.. My only real complaint is the little input/volume/bluetooth control puck. It connects to the subwoofer with a fixed cord, somewhat limiting the placement. Putting the subwoofer under my desk gave me just enough length to reach the desktop. I would have preferred another couple of feet on it. The cable going from the subwoofer to the main speakers is similarly short, but you can put an extender cable on it. Minor quibbles for my installation, YMMV.

These are great for the price. It has decent sound quality and great bass. The only things I don’t like is the constant hissing sound, but that’s common in most computer speakers, and the fact that ever time you turn the speakers off you have to re hit the connection button in order to reconnect with your device. It’s not the end of the world but it’s a little irritating.

The speakers worked well for two months and then began shorting, causing constant white noise even if there is no audio input. Resistors r10 and r11 are flesh searingly hot and smell like the soldering is melting when the device is receiving power. Device shuts itself off when connecting via bluetooth. Completely unusable at this point. Of course it breaks itself almost exactly when the return window is up. The issue persists when all that is plugged in is the AC power. The subwoofer will spit out white noise generated from the controller shorting power. Tried cleaning all the contacts, checked for cracks in the chip, cleaned the connector pins for the subwoofer wire, no dice. Shame to have to throw this away after just 60 days of use. Amazon Basics really are a crapshoot, sometimes the products are fine, other times they are literal garbage. This is one of the latter.

When I think of the benefits that the digital revolution has given us I think of the ability to listen to your music anywhere with excellent sound quality. These speakers are awesome. The bass speaker booms out with a richness that you can feel in your chest. The sound quality is akin to a much more expensive sound system. I would buy these speakers even if they cost twice as much. You can plug in the AUX cable into a phone, a laptop or a pad. These do not disappoint. Get them.

You do get good bang for the buck on these, the sound is better than what you expect for the price point, but unfortunately it appears to be very susceptible to interference of some kind from the PC while the channel is active. There is a low rumbling noise through the sub that is every present. Once any audio is stopped, the noise will shut off after about 10-15 seconds. It's rather annoying if you're trying to listen to soft music. They'll have to go back unfortunately. Too bad! Hopefully somebody else makes a speaker system without all the buzzing sound.

I bought these for my son to use in his room. I set them up and tested them with spotify from my phone first. I was blown away by the sound levels available and the clarity and completeness of range. No joke - its amazon basics. My expectations *were not high*. But I was pretty shocked at how good bass response was from not a very large sub box, and moreover the sound quality from the desktop towers really put a smile on my face. These have bluetooth and 1/8th inch headphone jack connections and come with all the cables you need. These aren't dorm room blasters, no, but I'd put these up against any of my old Logitech Z series systems any day. Let's see if they hold up to teenager use.

If you can get past the fact that the sound quality from these is quite poor (Where oh where has my middle range gone?), with either booming bass or tinny treble, but no middle ground, then... Well then, you realize that the wire design is quite bad, too. Sure, it looks like you could put the subwoofer on the floor, and the speakers on your desk. Yeah, it looks like it, but the wires are actually several feet short of being long enough for that! Oh, and the wires between the little speakers aren't long enough to get any decent separation on your desktop, in fact they're barely long enough to put one on either side of your monitor! But the little puck thing, that's actually quite handy. It allows you to turn the speakers on and off, to put them in bluetooth or wired mode, and to adjust the volume. It's just a shame that it's attached to such a bad speaker system.

I bought this just to use the sub as a standalone addition to my sound system to give a tiny bit more kick and the way this is setup is perfect for that. The power runs to the sub without needing the speakers to be plugged in as it has its own seperate volume control. Amazing sound all together for the price(keep in mind this is very cheap), cant be beat.

The sound quality was not as good as the failed unit it replaced. The switch used to switch to different input sources is sometimes difficult. The ability to connect to bluetooth is nice but I would have liked it better if that was an option and not the default. Otherwise it is a reasonable unit for a reasonable price.

Tres bon

I knew this would be a problem going in. I did not want to spend the $250 for the Bose system that I have had for years. This product is so cheaply made that it does not even have an on/off switch which the even cheaper Amazon Basics set does. Nor an LED to indicate whether the system is even on. Having said that I did not have high expectations but just to work. It did not DOA (Dead on Arrival) sending it back when I have a chance. Amazon itself as usual is great did not give me a hard time about the return you just need a printer to print the return label which I did.

No midrange to speak of and no way to balance audio. On/off audio output jack on the volume control instead of into the subwoofer.
