Today we’re looking at some Amazon Basics speakers. Let’s open them up. Inside the box we have a manual and two speakers. There’s a lot of plastic on these. Okay, they’re free from their prison. The fabric is quite squishy and soft. Do these come loose? No, those are fixed on. We have a headphone-out jack and a volume knob. On the back, nothing special — just some serial number information. And that’s that. We have our audio out and our USB, and they can be separated, and they’re quite long, which is good.
So, what we’ll do is plug this into a computer and test them out. We’re at my desk and I have a very modern computer which I plug them into. And yeah, there it is. One thing to note: the LED is just a little bit too bright for my taste, so I’ll probably end up covering that up. But let’s see how they sound. Let’s go from minimum volume to maximum. We’re at minimum now [Music] and back to minimum.
These are perfectly good speakers. They’re a bit smaller than I thought, which is very good — I thought they’d be a bit taller and I was worried about that. So they’ll fit on most people’s desks. These are the Amazon Basics speakers. If you’re after a pair of speakers, these are perfectly fine. They are speakers, and they come in a very classic style. A lot of modern speakers are weird-shaped, but I quite like these. They’re reminiscent of the speakers I had growing up.
