From bestselling author Gary Krist, a vibrant and immersive account of New Orleans' other civil war, at a time when commercialized vice, jazz culture, and endemic crime defined the battlegrounds of the Crescent CityEmpire of Sin re-creates the remarkable story of New Orleans' thirty-years war against itself, pitting the city's elite "better half" against its powerful and long-entrenched underworld of vice, perversity, and crime. This early-20th-century battle centers on one man: Tom Anderson, the undisputed czar of the city's Storyville vice district, who fights desperately to keep his empire intact as it faces onslaughts from all sides. Surrounding him are the stories of flamboyant prostitutes, crusading moral reformers, dissolute jazzmen, ruthless Mafiosi, venal politicians, and one extremely violent serial killer, all battling for primacy in a wild and wicked city unlike any other in the world.

Budget Friendly Stereo Speakers for Both New & Old Mac Users alike.
Size: 1 Pair, Color: Black, Size: 1 Pair, Color: Black
I purchased these for my Father’s MacBook Air and he absolutely loves everything about them.
It’s Ease of Use, and it’s Functionality with macOS despite it not being advertised on here.
As a Windows Migrant to Now Mac User from my personal experience they work flawlessly on a Mac.
The audio is great for what it is, and it’s USB powered making it to where you can repurpose old USB Cell Phone chargers into, PC/Mac Speaker Power Adapters in order to power it up. Without sacrificing your USB ports on your machines.
Only downsides are you can’t control the lights, and that the cables are a little weird and do take some getting used to.
Yet either way I highly recommend purchasing these Stereo Speakers for MacBook users, iMac users, Mac Studio users and Mac Mini users alike, who are looking for an Audio Upgrade while being budget conscious and all without sacrificing your desk space simultaneously.

A Great Pair of Small PC Speakers
Size: 1 Pair, Color: Silver, Size: 1 Pair, Color: Silver
These are great little pc speakers. They hookup easily, give off great sound, have an in line cord volume control and look great on the computer desk. The only thing missing is an on/off switch so you have to detach the usb to turn off the power, if desired, when the PC is on. My usb port is on the front of my desk top so it's easy.

Don't by used from amazon
Size: 1 Pair, Color: Black
Bought them used (don't do it plz) and they work well but at times I notice a hissing sound that always happens when I'm not playing any audio from them, and then there's times where there's no hissing sound. It's not the loudest but it can get kind of annoying. I'm sure it's because I bought them used but oh well, saved a few bucks and this is what I get. Other then that though the actual sound quality of the speakers is crazy good for the money. Speakers have nice weight to them and really decent bass to em as well. Just gotta give it 3 stars since Amazon didn't find it necessary to
1. Didn't clean the product before shipping so that it was in a presentable state, came to me hella dusty
2. Idk if anyone actually did long enough testing on this product when it got sent back, or else they would've fixed the hissing problem. I assume that was why it was sent back in the first place
3. Box was terribly packaged. No bubble wrap what so ever, the box the actual speakers were in also had nothing keeping them safe from getting smacked around during shipping. Multi billion dollar company can't even go the extra mile for the people who are paying them and keeping them in the business.

Perfect!
Size: 1 Pair, Color: Black
My husband wanted old-school plug-in speakers that had quality sound. These fit the bill and at an excellent price! They function exactly how the older speakers did, plug in and enjoy! No need to mount but you can if you wanted to. Easy to use and they have great volume. He does music making and video game development, so he needed the sound quality.
