Hercules XPS 2.0 60

 

The XPS 2.0 60 isn't perfect, but it offers convincing audio performance at a very compelling price.

Balanced, crisp output. Articulate bass response. Sleek design. Affordable. Adjustable treble and bass.

No remote control. Distorts at high volumes.

Thrustmaster Hercules XPS 2.0 60 review

 

Less being, quite often, more

Good sound quality ; Simple setup

A little bassy

Its unusual for PC speakers to be this simple and sound this good so it gets the thumbs up from us

Great, considering size

 

These things are compact. They take little space on the desk, that's the point. Due to this, they can only reproduce rather limited bass. Enough for an acoustic guitar to sound natural, which is great considering the size. But not nearly enough to...

Sound overall. Mids and highs are clear and undistorted. Good stereo separation ; Nice look ; Choice of connector cables (long and short) ; Headphones jack easily accessible

Not much bass, obviously ; Bright blue power LED (tolerable, though) ; A bit pricey (mine was $98)

Very Loud and Good Quality

 

If you plan on placing speakers right in front of you and don't need loud speakers for games or music these are not for you. Stick to the low end like logitechs lower cost brands. If you want good sound out any speakers do not forget to raise your...

These speakers are large with quality construction. Very good range across all frequencies. They sound better the further away you are from them

The 3.5 mm sound cable (green handle) that comes with this set is not good. When connected to the output on the computer it was loose and caused some problems over time. I eventually lost sound to the left speaker. I replaced it with a slightly larger...

Very Suprised

 

when i opened up the package I thought the cones would be bigger but they're like 2.5in but hooked them up and they blow a couple of 6in ones i have out f the water

Small size, great quality, very loud(in a somewhat large room, but can clearly hear from other side of the house). great bass for such a small size

not sure i really like the hi-fi like connectors on a computer desk but not a big deal, makes getting new connectors very easy

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Warantee is useless

 

They actually wanted to me to ship the speakers back to France by courier for warranty replacement. The cost of shipping that method was more than 150 percent than the typical cost of the speakers. Give me a break. I recommend sticking with companies...

The sound was very nice

while they worked for about 2 months. Mine had multiple manufacturing defects. The motherboard (what they call the PCB) died. Furthermore, instead of using the plugs on the board, the person who assembled the device decided to solder the wires directly...

Crisp & Clear

 

While I couldn't compare these to the half cost Hercules 2.0 Model, I am glad I spent the extra as I was mainly looking for clear crisp voice clarity and I got just enough in this higher cost set. Plenty of Volume but even at low volume levels there is...

I bought these for a Mobile Samsung 23in LCD on my porch. They replaced a 10yr old Altec Lansing 2.0 speaker set which is way more muffled in comparison. Voice clarity was important and the Hercules XPS didn't disappoint. Ball games are very good to...

For a 2.0 speaker, none

fit for the purpose

 

The first pair NewEgg sent me was abominable. There was random static noise in the left speaker, crackling noise when turning the pots on the right one, plus there was something loose -- a bolt or a nut -- in the left one. The replacement process was...

Not a bad sound for so relatively small 2.0 speakers. There are even traces of bass

None really, when they work

I Approve

 

I purchased three speaker sets in the past few weeks priced at $26, $65, and $90 (the Hercules). The Hercules sound much better than the cheapest and slightly better than the mid-priced set. They also sound much better than two old, cheap speaker sets...

These speakers have all the quality I was looking for, and I am pretty picky (though not very experienced or educated). The sound is full and rich. The bass is strong and the treble is clear and crisp. I also like the modular nature of the wire...

The first set I purchased had a defect in the left speaker that caused it to buzz badly when playing certain high-frequency tones at moderately high volumes. I noticed this particularly when playing the piano piece, "Sunlight on the water" by Phil...

Exactly What I Was Looking For

 

Got bored one day and took the back off one. Although i would not recommend this unless you know what your doing but I noticed that the speakers that are in it are very well built with a large magnets for the main speakers, this means they'll last for...

Wide open sound. Not distant, muffle or tinny sounding. Puts out plenty of sound for most applications. These have a full range of sound which is hard to find for speakers at this price

Not really a con for the price. These have limited bass but plenty of it for most music playback. People who listen to rap will be disappointed
