High End Usb Computer Speakers

I always hated buying speakers for the computer; they always seem to be problematic. But these plugged in USB and worked without having to restart. They sound great and the volume controls and mute are easy to use. Very happy with this purchase.

These are great little speakers to plug into your computer. Just plug into the USB, and they're ready to go. Nice sound for such a small inexpensive unit.

I needed a small set of USB speakers to use with an old computer that had a defective soundcard. They work beautifully. For the price, they are well worth the cost. Probably not good enough if you listen to a lot of music, but sound quality is more than adequate for listening to the occasional online video or email attachment. Would definitely buy again for the price.

My mom uses computer speakers connected to the headphone jack on her Mac Mini. The jack failed (evidently this isn't uncommon). As an inexpensive workaround, I picked up this USB audio adapter, and it worked like a charm. Even plugged into a USB hub, it stays recognized and selected in the Sound System Preferences pane even after rebooting and waking from sleep.

I spotted these speakers to complete my desktop computer sound system, and I am not disappointed! I have a white desk, white keyboard, white curved monitor, white Fractal Design computer case, white pod chair...you get the idea. It's all very sleek and clean looking. But I wanted speakers that were high-quality and sounded good, with an appearance to fit in with my high-end computer system & home office. The Kanto YU2 speakers are prefect! I have them connected to a 50w 6 1/2 Yamaha ported sub under my desk, and it's actually a little overpowering. (I would like to add the sealed Kanto Sub6 in the future, I think it would be a better match.) But these speakers are not concert hall loudspeakers, they are limited in a perfectly appropriate way for a desktop, facing you a short distance away. That said, they also fill my room with sound, and I listen to them in my nearby kitchen & living room as well. Quality is very high, they have a very sturdy, well-done construction. They actually manage to produce respectable bass, but are quite complete with eh sub I described. I even love the included Kanto 1/4" headphone cable, I use it with my iPhone on occasion. Otherwise, these speakers are connected to my computer via USB, which required no set-up. LOVE them!

Like many who buy these speakers I read lots of reviews first, both in journals and on websites and from customers who bought them. Yeah, they are expensive but if one considers them high-quality bookshelf speakers rather than high-quality computer speakers they are a bargain. Yes, I am using them as computer speakers but only because I already have large, dedicated sound-system floor speakers. While the A5+ speakers are inspired by studio monitors they are more versatile. First of all, like monitors they will not improve a bad recording. I noticed right away how poorly engineered and recorded some of my favorite 60's rock songs were. And like monitors I can hear things on the recordings such as coughs, dropped objects, and percussion instruments I'd never heard before. But unlike near-field monitors they have a wider stage presence. I have my speakers about ten feet apart and could certainly separate them more without losing that presence. The sound quality is incredible - clean and crystal clear. Some buyers might consider a sub but I am perfectly happy with the bass they produce. I'd rather hear the music the way it was intended to be heard. No messing with equalizers or tone dials. Build quality is incredible. Some folks might not think the design is modern enough, but for me, the understated, matte finish and simple design is exactly what I wanted. The main speaker is heavy, but when you consider what Audioengine put in it, I am amazed it's not heavier. As for the cooling fins, I have not yet noticed them getting even slightly warm. So am I happy with this purchase? Absolutely. Love the speakers and love the service B&H provides.

I use this with my computer workstation and have the computer speakers plugged in as a "slave" to my computer so they power down automatically with the computer. Made of high quality materials, I expect many years... decades of use from this product.

Awesome. End of story.

End the mess

I have a lot of experience with the High End Sola wash 19's and the 36's, I like these more. We have had them for about 9 months now and they are still not too loud and we haven't had an issue with them. You will need to buy a clamp and safety cable but with how low the price is compared to their competition I'm not complaining. They have great punch I use them in a full proscenium house and they have no problem cutting through the rest of the rig.
