Although not a relatively established or particularly reputable brand, Konig is known for providing very basic electronic hardware of robust design and high reliability. The Konig 2.0 Speaker Set is an extremely basic pair of speakers ideal for a desktop computer or MP3 player.

Relatively vanilla in design, these plastic speakers are very cheap at around just eight pounds a pair, which is the ideal amount that someone who isn't a DJ, music aficianado, avid film buff or sound engineer should be paying for a pair of speakers. They have a sturdy, though easily removable base which means they are difficult to knock over by accident but also fairly portable, a design plus, fortified by their notably sleek aesthetic and light weight. Despite the latter feature, they also have the capacity to provide fairly powerful volume and deliver surprisingly good bass response.

Power, volume, on and off. This is very much the bare bones of the speaker system world. No need for manuals, driver CDs, installation menus or an adaptor, these are straightforward, plug and play speakers ideal for the average joe to enjoy through a standard audio jack. The port of which is particularly sturdy, and I've never had the slightest problem with the cable coming coming loose.

Probably needless to say, there is no battery back available, so you can't really take these things out in the woods with you, unless you have a 3-pin power source, other than that, the Konig 2.0s make an ideal set of computer speakers, provided you don't wish to space them out too far, as the unchangeable speaker-power lead doesn't stretch particularly far.

The speakers are aesthetically pleasing and will match most decor. If you're fussy though, they are available in both black\silver or black\white themes, and for the same price, you'll be relieved to hear.

As far as basic cheap stereo systems for desktop PC, these have got to be your best bet if you're going for substance over style, and trying to save your pennies. A good, strong pair of speakers that are great for the money. Very much recommended.
