content: The only reason I give these speakers one star is because there's no 'zero' option. The sound is actually worse than the integral speakers on my laptop - 75% top, 25% middle and no discernible bass end. The USB dongle is badly engineered - it was loose in the USB slot, and the mini jack was loose in the dongle. On a friends say-so, I've now tried the Logitech X-140, and I can recommend these speakers without hesitation.
