Query: There have to be better cheap computer speakers than these, right?

Needed some computer speakers for the office and didn't want to spend upwards of $150 for small powered monitors so I tried these. Overall, the sound is pretty disappointing and isn't remotely balanced. The highs are over-accentuated. Upper-mids are scooped. Mids sound boxy. Upper-lows are relatively clear but the very low end is pretty much non-existant; to be expected with such small speaker cones. On the upside, these get plenty loud enough for my needs. I didn't expect miracles for $20 but these aren't a whole lot better than the stock speakers on my laptop computer. The search will continue.
