Trust Arys 2.0 PC Speakers, 28 W Peak Power, 3.5 mm Aux, USB Powered, Volume Control, Headphone Connection, Stereo Computer Speaker Set for Desktop, Laptop, Tablet, Phone - Black [Amazon Exclusive]

These speakers are perfect to replace the speaker that recently failed after many years of good service; I hope these last as long! The speakers feel solid, stand securely on the shelf with non-slip feet, and have a good sound. My only criticisms are the bass is a little less than I prefer (but not really an issue) and the illuminated volume control is not good when getting to sleep: I cover it with an opaque cloth to hide the light (removed for the photo!). I have included my bookshelf in the photo so you can clearly judge the size of the speakers. The speakers attach nicely with my alarm-clock/radio which, in its turn, connects with my iPhone via Bluetooth. The clock/radio has a standard 3·5mm stereo audio output and a USB charging port that supplies plenty of power for the speakers. All in all, I am very happy with the speakers, the sound quality is good for the price, and there is virtually no background sound from them (unless you put your ear right up against the speaker!). Good choice.

Whilst the units are about 30% bigger than the 20+ year old speakers they replaced, the sound quality is much better thanks to the bigger, newer drivers. Where the old speakers had to be turned up high, these present clear sound with no distortion at much lower levels. Thanks to the USB power, these were a breeze to get set up on the desk and cabled neatly into the PC, whilst the metal front grille provides better durability than those with bare or cloth covered fronts. These provide big sound for such low price units and even come with a set of inputs on the side further adding to their usefulness.

The speakers arrived on time and well packaged. The build quality looks good, they have a genuinly solid feel. The sound quality is fine but a little 'low' but that is a minor gripe. There is no background buzz, even when volume turned up high, if there is no sound playing they are completely silent, unlike my last ones which hummed as soon as they were turned on, so I mark that as a great improvement. The ombine on off dial is solid in feel and a good size with a gentle blue LED glow around it. My only comp[laint is that like most of these sets the two speakers are permanently linked by the speaker cable. It would have got 5 stars if there had been seperate plug connections instead. All in all I am very pleased with my purchase and would recomend them to anyone looking for a set of good, solid, basic computer speakers.

The trouble with the new small TV's is that the sound is really poor. Breakfast TV sounded like they have their heads in a bucket! These Trust Remo speakers however are just perfect for our new 22" Samsung TV in the kitchen. I tried some Bose speakers which dramaically improved the sound but were a little bit too 'bassy'. They also needed a plug-in transformer which looked ugly. These are just perfect and work off the USB on the TV for power and the 3.5 headphone jack for sound. The balance between treble and bass is good with clear speech (not tinny or echo-y) and also just the right setting for listening to music. Our TV is on the work-top in a corner and these speakers sit nicely behind it angled in line with the wall so they can't be seen. The Trust Arys speakers are just perfect for use with our PC. Nice sound that's far better than the standard TV/Monitor built-in speakers. PS: One extra point is that when I put the TV into stand-by the speakers also switch off. Al. UPDATE: I decided to test the Arys speakers on my PC and they were perfect. However, if you plug into the USB on the back of your tower then the power may not be switched off in the sleep mode. I've overcome this by plugging the usb power into the back of my LG tv/monitor (no headphone socket unfortunately). The tv switches to stand-by when I put the PC in sleep mode and the speakers go off...until I wake the pc and they're ready to go. So; Remo for a small TV and Arys for a PC.

I really like these speakers, really nice and chunky, heavy and deep sound can't fault. But strangely the volume when maxed out on both the speakers and volume knob and PC controls doesn't go as high as my old 7w speakers from ASDA. I've done a direct comparison between the two (same outputs, same track on spotify etc). They seem to be limited in some way. Don't get me wrong, it's loud enough for listening to your favourite track and the sound is pleasant enough. It just doesn't go quite loud enough for me in case I was watching a film I really wanted to immerse myself and have the room shaking a little bit. Also dispappointing that the cable which connects the two speakers is only about 1m long so you can't set them apart at each end of your desk (if your desk is 1.80 say like mine). Seems a pretty petty cost saving measure to me as some people like their speakers further apart to really get the best stereo effect or have a two screen, side-by-side set up like me. These speakers won't go wide enough to sit either side of them.

These are amazing speakers. You can tell that they have put a lot of effort into making these high quality, as they are pretty heavy any look very nice and professional. My only issue is that voices can sound too bassy, that's due to the speakers having amazing bass. You can edit your windows settings and make the bass slightly better for voices. The bass really shines when listening to music or playing games though. It makes them sound so good. Also the speakers can definitely get loud, so if you need loud speakers, I recommend these. The main speaker has a dial, which I usually leave low, and when you turn it, it doesn't feel cheap. The main speaker also has ports for headphones and a mic, which are on the right side. Overall, great speakers, definitely worth the money. :)
