I bought these primarily for a speaker that had a headphone jack (neccessary for listening to streaming music online late at night). What I didn't anticipate was the extraordinary bass reproduction from a two piece system. Right now I am listening to a Beethoven Cello Sonata, and the bass tones from the cello are felt in my chest! I am amazed because I thought I would need a subwoofer to get realistic bass. Quite simply, I feel as if sitting right next to the cellist. For the price this is well worth every penny. And the headphone jack is a nice bonus that a lot of speaker systems don't have.

These speakers are great for my purpose. They are quite compact and wanted to use them on my laptop whose built in speakers are anemic. The price is right and the sound is excellent despite it not having a base/treble control. You just don't need it because sound is so well balanced. If you are looking for small, inexpensive, good quality speakers I just don't see how you can do any better than buying these.

I myself have 1060's (the ony difference is the main speaker is on the left and on these it is on the right..no big difference.but they have GREAT SOUND..not like my old speakers..these work on any computer..you can adjust trebble/bass, volume, plug in headphones or a microphone (see my review on the good labtec am-242 microphone), and has it's own nifty on/off button. Get them during the holidy while there is free shipping! These are nice and compact so they are also great for the lap-top! but it..it's a great deal..'specially with free shipping

I bought these speakers to improve the awful sound of my laptop computer. They are a lot more powerful than I thought. They have deep, clear bass and reasonable treble separation. I like the built-in AC adapter, the separate bass/treble and volume controls and the front mounted headphone jack. The size is fine for my needs, about 9 inches high. The downside is that there is a little distortion at very high volume, but not at normal listening levels. Construction quality seems to be OK, though this is the first Labtec product I have owned. All in all, a pretty good sounding speaker for the price. Certainly not audiophile, but for those looking to upgrade their computer sound at a reasonable price, the Spin 60 speakers are worth checking out.

All companies need to take note of this "simple" pair of speakers. The speakers get the job done extremely well. And it doesn't use a bulky, box-like AC adapter; its internal power supply fixes that problem. Also, the speakers don't have a subwoofer. I know, I know, some people prefer a subwoofer and I used to have one myself. Still I can't tell the difference; this speakers sound exceptional without one.

Plus it has microphone and headphone ports, so after you hook up these speakers the ports become incredibly accessible! I definitely recommend these speakers for anyone.

And I think this pair is essential for computers with internal speakers. There nothing like having a volume control knob (especially when the alternatives are annoying sound control slider bars or keys).
