USB versus regular type speakers
I need to get some more speakers for my computer and I have seen the usb type but don't know anything about them. I don't need high powered gaming speakers, so do any of you have any usb speakers? They look interesting. I would be satisfied with just some 2.0 speakers, so obviously I am not looking for or needing a full theatre sound or fancy 7.1 surround sound, just something basic and decent sounding. I will go up to $50.00 if I need to.
For example:

These look nice ( to me ), and the reviews seem pretty good.
But...I am really interested in any info about usb powered speakers...just different, I suppose, and that is what got my curiosity up...
