ROFL!!!!!
How does THAT work? 5V @ 500ma means a maximum output of 2.5W RMS. To get 860W......
Does it have a electronic flash capacitor getting to full power, with just 1 chance to release it in 1 ms to the speaker cone, blasting the unit entirely in small pieces?

Yeah, Note that the ad never says they're 860 watt speakers (as far as I can tell), but rather that designation seems to be used as a "model number" or somesuch.

Those little usb powered speakers are pretty much worthless. I've never heard a pair that sound good.

I'd find a pair of decent amplified speakers without a sub (Logitech, Bose and Altec Lansing sell pretty good ones, and you can usually find deals online for less than 50$).

the sound doesnt have to be real good.  space is seriously limited, people playing this arent going to be saying 'damn i wish the sound was better'.  they should do the job.
