Considering the cost of these USB speakers, they have really good sound. People speaking sound normal, not "tinny" or high pitched. Not really sure how to word that last part. I already had a set of these and liked them enough to get a second set. I believe they're pretty good speakers unless you want Bose speaker quality. All-in-all, they're a good set of speakers that won't break the bank.
Great sound and they are loud too. The tone knob don't change the sound much but the quality of the speakers offsets that minor problem. I love them!! They are hidden behind my 32 inch monitor so no one sees them but who cares??? This was a great buy!!
