  4.0 out of 5 stars Great speakers but not as good as the first gen

  Great speakers, bought these to replace my 1st gen soundsticks after they stopped powering on after 12 years. These aren't as good as the 1st generation because they connect via 3.5mm jack and have an auto off function which means that if you are working and a notification comes up the sound doesn't work. You have to be playing sound constantly for the speakers to stay on. This is one of those EU rules that they had to abide by, and its not the end of the world, just a bit annoying. Quility wise you will not get any better computer speakers for the price, highly recommended.
  
  Oh and apparently the best way to overcome the switch off issue is to turn the computer vol up and the speakers down, which brings me to my next point, its a bit annoying that there is a separate sound control on the speakers, it means I have to play with 3 different vol controls every time I listen to something different. Its a shame that they got these right on the first try and then changed them.
