Introduction

The DHS-2111S Wired Multimedia Speakers (Model Number: DHS-2111S) arrived on my desk promising decent audio for a budget-friendly price. After several weeks of use – encompassing everything from casual music listening to gaming and movie marathons – I’m ready to share my comprehensive review. Let’s dive in!

Features

The DHS-2111S boasts a simple yet functional design. The compact satellite speakers and a slightly larger subwoofer blend unobtrusively on a desk. Connectivity is straightforward with a 3.5mm audio jack for input and a USB connection for power. The cable length (1.2m) is sufficient for most desktop setups, though a slightly longer cable would offer more flexibility. The overall build quality feels solid for its price point, with no noticeable creaks or rattles.

Performance

For their size and price, the DHS-2111S speakers deliver surprisingly decent audio. The 5W woofer provides surprisingly punchy bass, especially for a system of this size. While it won’t shake the room, it adds depth to music and movie soundtracks. The 2 x 3W satellite speakers offer a clear, balanced midrange and treble. I found them suitable for casual listening, gaming, and even watching videos. However, at higher volumes, some distortion becomes noticeable. The frequency response (150Hz-20kHz) is pretty standard for this type of speaker, and the 85dB sensitivity is adequate for most desktop use cases.

I tested the speakers with a variety of audio sources, including MP3s, FLAC files, and YouTube videos. They performed admirably with most genres, delivering clear vocals and well-defined instruments. More demanding audio, such as orchestral pieces or heavily compressed files, revealed some limitations, particularly in the higher frequencies.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

  • Affordable price.
  • Compact and aesthetically pleasing design.
  • Surprising bass response for its size.
  • Clear midrange and treble.
  • Easy setup.

Cons:

  • Noticeable distortion at higher volumes.
  • Limited frequency response.
  • Short cable length.
  • Not ideal for audiophiles or those seeking high-fidelity sound.

Final Verdict

The DHS-2111S Wired Multimedia Speakers offer excellent value for their price. They aren’t audiophile-grade, but for casual listening, gaming, or watching videos on a desktop, they deliver more than adequate performance. The surprising bass response is a definite plus. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly option with decent sound quality and don’t need ear-splitting volume, then the DHS-2111S is a solid choice. I would recommend them without hesitation for everyday desktop use.
