GOgroove Computer Speaker Mini Soundbar - USB Powered PC Sound Bar with Easy Setup Wired AUX, Stereo Audio, Microphone Port, Volume Control Knob, Under Monitor Design for Desktop (Blackout)

This is a great little inexpensive sound bar for your pc. It is not intended for nor will it appease anyone's taste which might venture towards the high end/audiophile wants. For most daily sound reproduction and casual use this is a great deal. It does not really take up much real estate on the physical desktop and is easily attached to a computer through the input/outputs on your computer. It is powered by USB so either a USB port must be open on your computer or a separate USB wall charger will be necessary. The cords which connect to the USB and speaker/microphone ports on your computer should be ample for most desktop configurations. (Yes, there is a microphone built in as well.) The lighted on/off/volume knob is handy in low light situations. The front mounted headphone and microphone jacks work and are convenient for those requiring a separate microphone or headphone for specific applications. It should also work with ANY operating system as it does not require any separate driver installation. It works very well on my Linux system.If your intent is to stream audio from Amazon, Pandora or other services, you might be a bit disappointed as the low end is missing as I anticipated. Still, for the less than $30.00 I spent, I am extremely happy with the no muss, no fuss installation and no hands on required for the daily use this unit provides. I considered a four star rating due to the lack of the low end but I knew the size of the speakers before purchasing so I knew before hand what I was and was not getting.

I was looking for a nice, compact speaker with a headphone jack to use with my bedroom TV to replace a set of Logitech speakers that crapped-out on me. I wasn't originally looking for a soundbar, but this one ticked-off everything on my list so I decided to buy it. I'm really happy I did - it sounds better than the Logitech set did while fitting in with the decor with a much lower (smaller) profile.Sound is good, but not great, as the bass is lacking and the sound distorts some when you crank it up. But the mid-level sound where you'll be listening most of the time is really good. It's working great for TV sound; much better than the stock speakers in my cheapo TLC TV. Ask yourself - what do you expect from a speaker of this size and price? I promise you, the sound will not disappoint.I should mention it looks good too. Good feel with indents on the volume knob and the blue light is subdued and barely noticeable. Think midrange Harmon Kardon looks.Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and recommend these speakers.

The sound is significantly better than my old external speakers. But the real bonus was easy access to the headset and microphone plugs.PROS:Nice looking; Great volume control dial. Reasonably good sound (for the price). It does what I want it to do, so I am satisfied. I got rid of my wobbly two-speaker set that never fit right on my desk; fell over often and had awkward controls.Price: I thought the price was good... free shipping was a bonus.CONS: Not enough to be an issue but here are some observations:1) The volume control doesn't have a mute. That would be nice2) The plug n play feature didn't automatically kick in. Had to set it as the default speakers over the internal ones. (WIN 10 Settings...). I had a brand new computer so many settings were the defaults. Took a few minutes to figure it out and after the GO Groove was set as the default, have had no issues. I gave it a rating of 3 stars based on this little annoyance.3) Volume from some sites doesn't respond much to turning the volume up. Sometimes have to adjust the master volume (taskbar) or sometimes nothing jacks up the sound. Some yahoo videos, etc may not broadcast with output volume, but may improve if you use a headset. It's not a big deal but you should be aware since there are several places to adjust volumes and they can impact your listening.

The negative reviews delayed me from buying this and almost stopped me. But I have a cheap GOgroove BT headset that has lasted for years--good sound too and durable so far. So I took a gamble on this sound bar. I'm not disappointed. It works really well and sounds great. If you want to capture every nuance of the orchestra strings section while you listen to your 32-bit FLAC files, you might be disappointed. But if you're just a regular jerk who wants to listen to Pandora and watch videos in your PC, this is plenty good enough. I got this to de-clutter my desktop. My old white computer speakers had actually turned yellow with age and the wires looked messy. By contrast, this thing looks neat, minimalist, and techie. I like the plain lines and the big, easy-to-find on/off volume knob. The blue LED ring is a nice touch. I like it so much I might buy another one for the office. Great speaker for the price.

I bought this soundbar to replace my 2.1 speaker setup and declutter my desk. Unfortunately a month after purchase this piece of junk has crapped out and gotten flakey. The volume will randomly shoot up and down. A lot of times I plug in headphones, but when I unplug them and switch to the speaker sometimes the output is so low you can barely hear it (even with volume turned WAY up and other times it puts out a LOT of distortion.DO NOT BUY.Contacting Customer Support is a PAIN. 1. The warranty process is VERY confusing on their website. You have to register your product (fine no problem but it takes a week to show up.) Then you can file a claim, and wait for a response. The response will most likely show up in your spam folder so it is easy to miss. 2. THEY CHARGE you for Shipping and Handling BOTH WAYS! You have to pay to return the faulty item AND for them to send you a replacement. 2. I missed the first email that they sent me because it went to SPAM like I mentioned, but when the customer service rep sent me another email she sent it with the original email as well. Originally they were charging me $3.99, but now in the current email they are asking for $7.99 with no explanation for the increased fee.PLEASE DO NOT BUY the cheap garbage product!!!
