Trust Asto PC Soundbar, USB Powered Speaker Set, Rich Stereo Sound System 12 W Peak Power, Illuminated Volume Control, Speaker for PC, Monitor, TV – Black

Perfect for the price
**Update**Almost a year after I purchased this speaker and it has held up perfectly! Sound and build quality has not deminished even though the speaker is used on a very regular basis.The product was longer than I expected, it’s a little bigger than my laptop, which I’m happy with. The Green LED on the sound control really sets it off, especially since all my other gadgets are green LED. It’s lighter than it looks but since its USB powered this will be great for portability. I bought this to use behind my monitor when my last speakers broke (after 3 months!) and it’s perfect, it also looks nice from all angles.As for performance it’s self, easy to set up, plug in the USB and the green and pink wires into the back or your pc or laptop and your good to go. Also comes with 2 additional cables, one red and a red and white connector, haven’t taken these out of the packet so not sure what theyre for yet, presumably a TV system?… anyway sound was clear and not at all tinny, the base could do with some improvement but for the price and size it works very well. It’s not super loud but perfect for my office space and loud enough to be heard when getting ready for a night out.Over all I would buy this again, as long as it holds up to the test of time, will update in a few months.

… too big for the speaker and that Amazon they love doing thing on a grand scale
Well it arrived in a very large box way too big for the speaker and that Amazon they love doing thing on a grand scale, this is my first experience of having a soundbar and boy I am so glad I bought this one, I know you can get expensive ones with lots of bells and whilsles but I just wanted it for my computer the other ones died the other day, the sound on Trust Asto is very good you will not regret buying this sound bar, its very nice and fits just right under the monitor, the downside is the cable is very short, so people at Trust take note make the cable longer or add an extention to the cable. All round its a nice clear sound, worth the money any day. 10/10 for sound 10/10 for build quality 10/10 the brand. 1/10 for the cable.

Okay For The Price
Used to replace a set of rather tired stereo speakers with something more compact on the PC desktop.Sound is okay and on a par with the previous speakers but don’t expect home cinema quality.There are a few issues and features worth pointing out…USB powered, so you will either need to find a spare USB socket on your PC or laptop (and hope your PSU can cope) or use a mains to USB charger/converter.The green light on the dial is quite bright and can’t be dimmed or switched off.There is no tone control for bass or treble, the sound is what it is.The feet are not adjustable for height which means if I sit it on top of the monitor base, it’s slightly off the desk surface.However it does what it says on the tin and unlike some soundbars, there is a headphone socket for privacy if necessary.

Unbearable background noise when using the headphone jack
Very disappointed by the audio quality of this product. After exchanging my first Trust Asto with a replacement due to what I assumed was a faulty device, I was upset to find my replacement had the same faults. The positives are the stylish design and build quality of the bar itself, along with its USP – the headphone and microphone jacks on the front which can be controlled by the volume dial. Unfortunately, this is where the problems really start. To begin with the dial needs to be turned a full quarter the way around before it even starts to work, and the sound that comes out is far more tinny than I’d expect for the brand or the price. However its real failing is the background noise from the headphone output. It has a loud and unpleasant electronic background noise that sounds like you are using an unshielded Jack plug, except I tried it on multiple devices, all which caused no problem with other speakers and headphones. This is such a disappointment from a device that on paper ticked all of my requirements.

Inte något superljud direkt, men den fungerar

Als PC-Lautsprecher völlig ausreichend.Natürlich fehlen bauartbedingt die wummernten Bässe, aber als einfacher Lautsprecher und zum normalen Musikhören am PC ist das Gerät völlig OK.Das einzig nervige ist, das man die Soundbar nicht fest auf Bluetoothverbindung einstellen kann, so daßß man immer noch mal kurz den Suchbutton drücken muß um eine Verbindung herzustellen. Das können andere Hersteller besser.Trotzdem kein Fehlkauf – man kann ja zusätzlich ein Kabel anschließen.Von meiner Seite alles OK!
