    I absolutely love these speakers. I’ve always had portable speakers with crappy sound and these are a game changer. I love the bass and how full the sound is. I played around with all types of music and they all sound great. One thing i love most is the look and size of them. The wooden outside makes them seem more modest and modern and they fit right on my tv stand without looking bulky. I also really love the controls that are on the side of the speaker. You can play around with bass and treble and make it your own. They also come with a remote which is nice. They were super easy to set up and I had no issues. One thing that could be changed is the fact that you have to connect your device through an aux cord. I would have thought that all speakers are Bluetooth now. Regardless of that I love these speakers and highly recommend!

    These speakers are great!!! They are loud and sound really good too. I bought these for my record player and haven’t quit spinning vinyl yet. They were easy to set up (not Bluetooth) just plug in a couple of wire and flip the on button and ready to go. They even have a remote to adjust the volume. These speakers are perfect for small living and provide a big sound. I bought these because I recently moved into an apartment and they are perfect. Definitely recommend!

    First, these are not Bluetooth. I recommend using them with your computer or other multimedia use. They have great sound and are the perfect size for a desk. They have a nice wood finish and they feel very solid. Overall, great product.

    Great speakers. The small form factor makes it easy to get the right position for best sound and the treble/bass adjustments make this even better!

    Nice, medium size speaker, with pretty big sound. I connect them up directly to my iPhone via 1/8" stereo to Stereo RCA cable. They sound pretty darn good. It would be nice if they had bluetooth. That said, for the cost, great speaker.

    These speakers look and sound great. They are the perfect size for adding quality sound to my bedroom head-board shelf where they are connected to an Internet-radio receiver. The only thing I wish they had added was a balance control. These speakers replaced smaller and less powerful (4 watts) Edifier speakers that I had for many years. This was an excellent upgrade that significantly improved my music-listening enjoyment

    Nice sounding speaker for size. Decent bass and good treble. Smooth sound. They are quite good looking. Using them at my computer desk. My only real complaint is the rear power switch. Should at least be on the side with volume, etc.

    I wasnt sure what to think going into these. I had a set of Bose on my laptop for the past few years. They were clean sounding but I figured maybe something newer and bigger would givw me some more sound. These did! Super clean sound. Well built. Theyre heavy and good looking. If I turn them up half way, i hear them everywhere in my 2 bedroom house.

    These are great desktop speakers! Kind of bigger than a typical computer speaker, but I think they look much better on my desk. And they sound great! I run them with the speaker grilles off, which doesn't affect the sound. Just check other reviews online. These won't disappoint!
