    They work. Quieter than I had expected. But the price is right if you're on a budget. Sound quality is decent.

    Pretty good for the price. I bought these for monitoring some music and vocal recordings. They seem to work pretty well. Easy to setup and they look pretty good. The wireless remote is a pretty nice feature as well. The build quality is better than expected given the low price.

    Very nice midrange speakers but the tone controls are a joke. Barely perceptable difference from min to max for both treble and bass. The Bose Companion 2 doesn't do any better. In fact, they rattle if the bass is too low. But if you want to "feel" the bass, you really need a 3-piece system with a woofer. I recommend the Klipsch Promedia 2.1 or the Logitech Z625.

    The speakers are loud but weren’t for me! I needed speakers with heavy bass for music and it didn’t deliver. I would say this is better for a TV or desktop to watch movies or so. Regardless I would still recommend, for the price they’re quite powerful!

    Not what I was expecting. The connected between both speakers is less than ideal for DJ'ing at home, which is what I was using it for.

    They make great computer speakers, but put out zero bass in a small living room, sitting about 7 feet away from them. If the speakers are going to be placed several feet away, I suggest investing a little more money on something else to get a fuller sound experience.

    They have good sound but are not as loud as expected. You could buy a portable speaker that can reach the same volume.

    Nice But Lacking

    With today's high energy, low base music, these speakers are nowhere near what would be need to reflect the sonic output of music that has any sort of deep base. They need... no, REQUIRE some sort of sub to help. But alas, there is no audio connection for adding any type of subwoofer. Outside of that drawback, everything else was satisfactory.
