Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I got these through Dell; the right speaker sounded like it was blown out for the first couple days (yes, it was properly connected, I even connected it to my iPod to check that it wasn't my sound card), then the speaker sounded fine... except that every few minutes several loud hissing/popping sounds would emit from the speakers. This happened even when the speakers' input was disconnected from the sound card (at least it wasn't my sound card). The speakers were getting some sort of interference from the USB power, I told Dell, they sent me a new set, same problem. Though it's nice not to have a giant AC/DC adapter to plug in, you have to dedicate a USB port and potentially have the same interference problem I do. I'm going try running them through a powered USB hub to see if that takes care of the interferenceD-Link DUB-H4 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub (I need the extra ports anyway), if not I'll keep one set for my laptop/iPod, give the other away, and buy a 5.1 channel receiver and some speakers.
Update (June 10, 2007): After some research, I found that USB powered speakers are susceptible to interference from cell phones. The popping noise happens if my phone is within five feet of the speakers. The sound quality above 60% volume is quite bad. Three stars at best.
