Looks like a good space for Amazon Basics to expand into. In fact they already have: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Performance-Alkaline-Batteries-48-Pack

  If they're comparable to Amazon Basics speakers or USB cables, I wouldn't touch them....

    What's the problem with the speakers?
    • tracker1 10y ago
      One pair didn't work, another only one of the two speakers worked, the other was mostly noise and almost no sound, and the third had a really bad background hum. Note these were all on sound card(s) where other speakers had worked fine... so one good experience, and three bad ones. They were pretty cheap, in that I didn't return them, but left an appropriate review in the end. They were mainly gifted out (and later thrown in the trash) to friends at work, etc. I got mine so I could have a set of speakers to hear the occasional audio at work at the time... which worked great.. I got some of the same for a couple coworkers, and another set passed along when I'd upgraded my computer at one point. I have M-Audio AV-40's speakers on my desktop at home, and Mackie CR3's on my spare... both are great sets of speakers I can't say good enough things about. Given it's a $10=15 pair vs over $100 ... I wasn't expecting huge sound from the Amazon speakers, that said, I've seen other speakers in that price range that worked far better.

  After my huge stash of AA I got from woot (before they were owned by amazon and had pretty good daily deals) ran out, I bought some of these Amazon batteries. I only use them for remotes, controllers, and the occasional flashlight, but they've worked very well.
