 Worth the price October 18, 2009

For this price, the quality is good. Crisp, clear and powerful enough --- as long as you don't turn the volume to the highest. This is the common sense. However, even without turning the knob to the biggest volume, the sound is still amazing. The only time I can recall any sound with this kind of stereo-like quality is BOSS's, but this one has half the price.
Great Value in a Computer Speaker System June 4, 2010

If you're looking for a set of computer speakers that won't take up much desktop space and provide great sound, check out the Hercules XPS 60 2.0 speakers.
These speakers are rated at 30 watts but pack plenty of sound. The XPS 60 set are a two-piece audio system without a separate subwoofer. The bass is created by a port at the rear of each speaker when placed close to a wall. The bass is good, but not great. If you need great bass, get a 3-piece system with a separate sub.
Besides the good sound, the Hercules XPS 60 offers separate bass and treble controls. How many 2.0 systems offer these controls?
Unlike many computer speakers, the Hercules X60 has no attached wires. Hercules includes separate audio cables with spring clips much like expensive audio speakers. The advantage is that if you move these speakers to another location, you won't have to deal with cumbersome cables than can get tangled.
You can buy an expensive computer speakers for several hundred dollars that sound good. Or you can get excellent audio from a smaller system like the Hercules XPS 60. Don't get hung up on price. $80 or under for these speakers is an incredible value.

I have been searching for a good set of speakers for my PC. I had a set of Altec Lansings which had terrible sound quality (maybe they were old). I researched this and was quite sure I wanted 2 speakers without the subwoofer. I just did not have space enough for the subwoofer. I went back and forth on what brand to purchase and landed on the Hercules 2.0 60. They were easy to hook up, easy to use and have been a very nice addition to the PC. They sit on the desk on either side of the PC. Their presentation is very good. You can use the headset jack and no sound comes out of the speakers, just through the ear plugs. This is important because I share a PC room. I really like the speakers, the sound is fine for me. I would suggest these speakers and would purchase Hercules again.

Very good sound quality. Adequate base. Not so boomy which I hate. Resonably clear high and mid-range for this price range. Build quality is quite good with some weight. On the back, the connector with RCA connector would be more convenient but I can live with the bare wire connections like this set has.
Overall satisfied with the purchase.

I am listening to these speakers as I type. They are perfect for my needs. If you want high fidelity with a broader frequency and volume range, pay more.
