    I could not get these speakers to work on my computer or Monitor. They provided the correct set up to plug in however, they never worked after plugging in. I was impressed however with Best Buy's return policy. They didn't give me any problems and accepted my return without any hassle.

    Computer speakers are usually 'green' in that they go into a sleep or standby level of power use without intervention. These speakers sound great once the have been through a 50 hour break-in period ... but the remote control doesn't have a power off function and the speakers don't go green. If you want them off, you need to reach around and click the switch (not always convenient depending on your placement...) or by using a power strip. Not acceptable considering the price.

    I never got it nor the refund I was promised has nothing to do with the speakers themselves but the service that Best Buy offers isn’t that good

    The speakers are beautiful, but they don't work. They arrived in new condition, nothing wrong with them on the outside, but after following every step of the instructions manual they still would not conduct sound. I was attempting to connect them to my AudioTechnica turntable- followed the instructions to the letter. It's not user error, and it's not the turntable (it's worked with other speakers). Something is wrong with the wiring of these speakers.

    I bought these based on reviews that I read. Well, that didn't work so well for me. Hooked them up to my PO, which is why I bought them, and they sound like cheap plastic speakers. No bass at all, and overall not what I would calla quality product. Yes, they will be returned to BB.

    Just picked up these speakers at my local Best Buy. Didnt come with the dual RCA wire or the 3.5mm to dual RCA wire, now they are paperweights until I either go buy one of the wires at another store or return the speakers to best buy. Definitely going to amazon next time.
