hercules_xps_2_0_60 Are you a budget tight user in need of a computer stereo system? Do you plan to invest only $100 in your purchase? If your answer for both these questions is yes, then Hercules’ XPS 2.0 60, priced at $99.99, is an option worth considering. Users do not really prefer sub $100 speaker models as those models account for a heavily distorted sound and provide hardly any bass. But the Hercules’ XPS 2.0 60 speakers provide a decent level of bass and do not distort so very much at high volumes.

The set aims to be a good investment gadget. Just combine the speakers with a subwoofer and you are ready for excellent sound from the device. These speakers work best at decent levels of volume.

As far as dimensions are concerned, the black colored XPS 2.0 60 measure about 8.3 inches by 4.1 inches by 5.1 inches. The speakers feature a tweeter and transparent metallic grills cover the in built woofer. The controls like Bass, Treble, and Power/Volume are easily located on the right speaker and you will find a power LED sandwiched between the treble knobs and volume control button.

The cable that will connect your speakers to your computer belongs to the 3.5 mm family. The speakers are shipped with a couple of speaker-to-speaker cables of lengths 70.9 inches and 118.1 inches and a 3.5 mm cable is also included in the shipping package.

Experienced users might immediately notice that the drivers’ output of the XPS 2.0 60 set is aimed not upward, but aimed at your torso. As mentioned before, the speakers perform at their best when you keep the music volume a little less than the maximum output. The set pumps out low frequency tracks really well. The bass output from the set is also very decent for a sub $100 model.

At maximum volume, you will notice audio distortion. The Hercules XPS 2.0 60 speaker set also lacks a dedicated remote control. But with a price tag of $99.99 and a decent performance, this speaker set really aims to make a mark in its field. It is an option worth considering for the budget conscious user.
