      I chuckled. You could also plug it into a system win only a Linux live dvd, no storage, no speakers.

        Safer from malware, but not safe from usb “pranks.” I doubt anyone is leaving a port killer out, but getting your port gunked up, or partly disassembled via locks is a thing.

        Disposability is worth considering as well

          Return the speakers once you determine safety.

      Some used PCs with no disks are bought only to be booted into a live Linux distro and then some time later resold in the same condition.
