    Small little speakers with a bold sound! Decent bass for how small they are. Pretty loud but distort a little when at higher volume. Well worth the price if you’re looking for budget speaker setup for computer or record player. Not recommended for studio speakers. Very happy with the purchase though. Don’t hesitate.

    I love these speakers! Sleek design and high quality audio for a pretty low price when it comes to speakers. Easy to hook up and really loud.

    Absolutely great buy. If you're not looking to break the bank but want something easy to install, good quality and loud then this is the one. I use them for my record player and I'm extremely happy

    Don't get this if you don't like playing sounds at a relatively high volume. At lower volume it sounds like regular cheap speakers. You have to play it at a fairly high volume to actually get a feel of the sound quality. So might not be suitable for apartments with thin walls

    I can hear footsteps way easier with this and I cannot even set the volume to above 20% because these speakers go so loud. 10/10

    These speakers blew me away. I got these on sale for $100 and wow they sound amzing way better than than $100 they look amazing in my setup and sound amazing. They have dials on the side that can change the volume, bass and trebble making adjusting it super convinet. I have thse plugged into my amp and have had 0 issues. When I turn the bass up and blast them they vibrate. Amazing speakers for the price. I wouldnt look any further they also get plenty loud and I find myself using this all the time when i watch movies on my computer. HIGHLY RECCOMEND THESE SPEAAKERS

    Amazing Budget Desktop Speakers

    Purchased these for my desktop pc setup. Cannot beat these for the price, sound better than my previous harmon kardon stix 3. Nice full sound and bass is clear and present. Easy to setup and the remote is a nice touch. Not going to shake the house, but gets pretty loud and has better imaging than a soundbar in my opinion. Also output to add a subwoofer down the road.

    For about twenty years, I've had the same radio, with low quality speakers. When I made the decision to get a record player, I wanted to look for some speakers. I wanted something that cost a pretty penny, but not too expensive. This was the product that I came across. LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING RIGHT NOW I absolutely love these speakers. and too my surprise (and maybe its the way my apartment is built, not sure) I can turn up the music a fair volume, and it will not cross over to the next room. After turning up the volume until the bass was knocking on my walls, I decided to walk out of the room, close the door, and the other room is not effected. HOW? Has speakers always been like this and I'm just now realizing it? Either way, I recommend this products. If this was Oprah's favorite things, these speakers would make the list.

    Just got these speakers 2 days ago, they just keep getting better as they break in. Took a chance based off all the reviews. They exceeded my expectations for the price. I'm mainly using them for music from my Mac. They are very clean sounding with more detail then I thought they'd have. You can really hear the nuances in various types of recordings. Nice, tight and punchy, no mussy bass and they seem to have a fairly flat response. Plenty of volume for my small studio apartment. I do recommend lifting them up a bit from what ever surface you will place them on , to prevent the low from coupling with the surface. Use them within their means and you won't be disappointed. I absolutely recommend these for the price.

    Excellent sound quality, never have had to crank it to get good volume levels. The fact that there's no extra sub is great, along with the brickless power cord makes this a winner, especially considering it's cheaper than most of the other 2.1 systems. Bass/treble adjustments are nice. Can't go wrong

    Purchased for teenage daughter’s turntable starter kit. Fills bedroom but probably not gonna satisfy audiophile in a larger room. Has overall decent sound. Easy to setup and control. Really good for the price. We’re happy with it.

    Sounds great for my pc guitar setup. Added a discrete sub, as it does roll off pretty fast. Loud enough to keep up with my guitar practice amp.
