| Pretty good--for budget speakers. by Douglas Reed (Menasha, WI) 4 Stars November 09, 2009 I'm somewhat torn about what to rate the S120s at. On one hand, I'm not at all impressed with the sound quality (and I'm no audiophile), but then again, I really don't have a wealth of experience with budget speakers so these may actually be among the better sounding ones (I've definitely heard worse). On the other hand, they are brand-name units and are built like a tank. Ultimately, I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and rated them four stars as opposed to the three I was leaning toward.
As usual with Amazon, they arrived in an acceptable amount of time in good condition. I was disappointed to find them packaged in an OEM-style brown box when they were clearly identified as "Retail" units on the website when I ordered(I suppose it's possible brown boxes are the retail packaging for these). They're small (expected for budget speakers), but are quite solid with good fit-and-finish and have respectable heft for their size. Fairly plain, styling-wise, they're appearance is unobtrusive and, given their size, all but vanish on the desktop. The power and audio cables are long enough for most applications, though, being AC-powered, some may have issues with the relatively thick power cord causing placement difficulties. The power/volume knob and headphone jack are well-enough placed on the outboard side of the right speaker. Set-up is about as simple as possible--connect to source, plug-in power and switch on.
Functionally, they're good enough. They're reliable with a brief warm-up time and produce a decent amount of volume. There's minimal hiss and static and they don't really distort until cranked way up. The problem is the dynamic range, the bass is extremely weak. I'm not just talking about a lack of boom, I'm talking about sound that's anemic (borderline hollow) and somewhat washed-out and tinny (though I wouldn't go as far as harsh). The S120s look to be S220s without a subwoofer, so I'm guessing these speakers were designed to be run with a sub and would likely sound very good with one.
I guess it comes down to how tight of a budget are you on? If you absolutely can't spend more than $10-15, then these speakers are a very good choice, as I seriously doubt you'll do much better for the money. If you can spend the extra 15 or so dollars more, then the S220s (or other 2.1 systems) would likely prove a much better sounding option. Either way, for the money, the S120s are pretty darn good. Qualified recommended.
| | Speakers - Low cost by FBradley (Georgetown, TX) 5 Stars November 05, 2009 Plugged them in and they worked. Sound fine and for $11 can't get better than that
| | Solid office speakers by J. Cullen (Boston, MA) 4 Stars November 03, 2009 I wanted a small pair of speakers to play music quietly at my work. These fit the bill.
Pros:
- Compact (so they don't take up to much desk space)
- Inexpensive
- Not too much bass (I don't want the sound to travel through the walls and annoy my coworkers)
- Good enough sound quality for mood music while I am working
Cons:
- cord management is a hassle
I've never tried cranking these up so I can't vouch for their ability to generate big or full sound. For my purposes they work great!
| | Broke after only about a month by Alexa T. Degennaro (Boston, MA USA) 1 Stars November 03, 2009 I wish I had read more of the one star reviews when I decided to purchase this product last month. As many of the five star reviews say -- yes, it is a cheap little set of speakers, that give impressive sound and bass... until they BREAK after only a MONTH. My last set of cheap ($20) Logitech speakers lasted nearly 2 years. I didn't expect these to last forever, but a month is pathetic.
In short: I came home today to hear a loud, unpleasant buzzing sound. Turned out my little speakers were completely fried. I'm glad I have Amazon Prime so I can buy another (nicer) set and have them in two days, but I'm really frustrated. Yes, you get what you pay for, but given the size of them (they really are adorably tiny), for $11, I don't think it's too much to ask for a product that works for more than a month.
What a waste of money.
| | Great sound for the price ... by Vikas Harish (Vikas) 5 Stars November 02, 2009 i would rate this a value for money purchase.... If you are looking for a budget speaker then spend money on logitech rather than spending on some other low priced brand
