My external PC speakers, i use on my works laptop have given up the ghost.

I am after a reasonably priced speakers, which I will mainly use for online courses, the built in speaker is a bit naff, so having any volume is not great.

That comma in the first sentence has created a strange kind of poetry.

If you really only need them for online courses then these will be fine:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-Z150- ... 00F45E3D6/

If you are going to watch movies or listen to music too then find the extra tenner for these:

Yo @zardoz - I've just got the Bluetooth versions of these speakers. Can you change the volume from your phone? It seems to make no difference on mine.
