TaoTronics Computer Speakers, Wired Computer Sound Bar, Stereo USB Powered Mini Soundbar Speaker for PC Cellphone Tablets Desktop Laptop

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.  I got this sound bar about 4 hours ago and I'm really enjoying it. I like the way it looks and sounds, it's well built. And it was easy to set up too, just plug it in and it works. And when I crank up the volume it maintains sound quality too, unlike other inexpensive speakers I've owned that turn into audio mud at high volume. I attached a short vid of it in action, the audio is from an old home video with some Creative Commons music added, so copyright is not an issue. If anyone would like the CC info on the music then just request it in comments and I will provide it. Of course there are serious limitations in trying to reproduce sound quality from a cheap video camera mic, but it's probably better than a written description.

I am giving this five stars, but because of the price-point, ease of operation, design/look. You can't expect to get the greatest sound from a relatively cheap speaker. Sometimes you really want to turn the volume up for that song you really love, and this just doesn't satisfy in that realm. Poor bass and thin tones, but the sound is clear. Great for just normal daily use like non-music-based video streaming and talk radio. Certainly not meant to impress for action movies or similar. The buyer should know they are not getting a high performance product here. You simply need to spend more money to get a full range, loud, high quality speaker for music/movies.

I wanted a soundbar for my office since my monitors didn't have any built-in speakers and the laptop speakers aren't exactly placed conveniently on my office desk when mount.To keep it simple, the speaker build is surprisingly high with its materials of construction (mostly plastic but with some light sheet metal for the speaker. The volume knob turns silently and smoothly. The speaker itself comes with the power cable, which plugs in via USB; this works best for my situation since I can save a plug on my surge protector and utilize an existing USB port on my laptop dock. It also includes a microphone and headphone (2 x 3 position 3.5mm M/F male plugs) to connect to your 'output.' Here's a minor downside: this cable to plug into your 'output' is hard-wired into the speaker and unless you have a desktop computer with 3-position plugs for your microphone or sound, a '3.5mm 4 position to 2 x 3 position 3.5mm M/F' adapter can easily fix this issue for a couple of dollars. Another setback is that the speaker itself does NOT have a built-in mic, so you'll need to add in your own mic if you want to utilize the 3 position 3.5mm M/F male plug specifically for the microphone. Additionally, no additional 'input' wires are included either, but that's been typically expected from previous speakers I've purchased from other brands.Otherwise, I have no complaints with that '3.5mm 4 position to 2 x 3 position 3.5mm M/F' adapter I mentioned above. The speaker matches well with my decor and most importantly, it's a HUGE upgrade for whenever I'm on conference calls. It certainly beats the built-in speakers in my laptop, but also the speakers I had my office provide to me in the past to mount on my monitors. If your budget allows, this speaker is a satisfying addition to your office, if you lack external speakers!

I am combining the review for three items as I am using them together. I hooked the HDMI to VGA ADAPTER to an old computer monitor that was laying around collecting dust. I used a JSVER Portable Desktop Power Strip with 3 USB Smart Charging Station to connect the monitor to and a TaoTronics Computer Speakers, Wired Computer Sound Bar, Stereo USB Powered Mini Soundbar. I then put an Fire TV with 4K Ultra HD into the HDMI to VGA adapter. Now I can use any app that works with the Amazon fire TV. I also have a WYZE camera I bought for $20 that works with the Fire TV. This all works great and if I want I can carry the whole package under one arm.

I usually don't get too excited about any product but this speaker is so amazing I just had to write about it! The quality is awesome, bass is fantastic, and it's plenty loud. I use this speaker for my desktop computer for gaming and listening to music videos on You Tube and it sounds perfect! I just took it outside and hooked it up to my phone and wow! It's not a huge party speaker but if you have a few friends over by the pool it's amazing! Can't say enough! Money well spent!

Easy to install. Nothing complicated. Very straight forward. I hooked this to my 32” monitor. Sounds amazing.Im only an arms length or a few inches more away from the soundbar. Could be why it sounds amazing. Pretty loud.make sure your tv or monitor sound settings are 100% and then adjust with the sound bar.Will purchase again for a sibling and love ones

I was surprised to find that these speakers weren't nearly as loud or as high fidelity as those built into my Mac. I thought that both the sound volume and quality would be improve with these speakers, but neither happened. On the upside, the unit looks great and was easy to return.Shortly after returning this product and submitting this review I was contacted by the seller and offered a free replacement of another sound bar that they expected would be louder and more to my liking. They sent the new speaker bar and it was much much better and worked perfectly. The service provided by this seller is absolutely outstanding and the new sound bar is excellent as well.I'm changing my rating from 1 star to 5.

Good sound for a great price. I ordered this to hook up to my gaming TV, and love how great it sounds. It's so small, compact and lightweight that I've been bringing it into my kitchen when I'm cooking to listen to music cause it's not hard to move from one room to another.

The sound is really bad... I wanted to replace my cheap $20 logitech speakers with these, as there are fewer cables etc... but the cheap logitech speakers sound literally 50x better... so I think I'll just stick with them.
