Customers frequently mention the amazing sound quality, describing the audio as clean, bright, balanced, and natural. However, some users find the bass lacking in power, noting that it can cut out at higher volumes and may not satisfy bass-focused listeners. The subwoofer's performance, relative to its size and weight, is also a point of concern for some customers. Overall, the audio quality is a significant positive, but the bass response is a notable area for improvement.

Overall I really do like these speakers. They sound very clean, bright (not harsh) and balanced. As other reviewers have stated, if youre a basshead, this wont quench your thirst. If however, youre looking for a near-audiophile set of powered speakers, these will do perfectly. The APTX bluetooth sounds great and using the line input sounds really really good. Ive not tried the optical or coax input so I cant comment. I would have given 5 stars except for two things: 1. I really wish they had a USB input. This would have been a nice addition for computer use. 2. They get plenty loud... but for $450 they should get really loud. :) I do want to specifically mention the tweeters they chose for the 360 series, which changed from its predecessor the 350. They changed to Planar style tweeters, typically use din higher end speakers. Ive never had a set with this type of tweeter and was concerned it would sound like metal dome style tweeters. (typically titanium). I much prefer silk dome tweeters for their warmer sound. I admit I really do like these planar tweeters. They are crisp and tight without being harsh, probably my new fav. Overall, I am very happy with the purchase and look forward to seeing and hearing how they break in.

Great sound, easy connectivity. However, sometimes the subwoofer becomes disconnected from the two satellite speakers (the way of connection is Bluetooth). Also, the remote is not easy to use. Half the time it’s not worth trying to use. These two negatives are why I only gave 4 stars. I would recommend these speakers, however, for the sound quality, and the fact that the Subwoofer & satellite speakers don’t disconnect from one another very often. Also, the price is right.

Overall, the speakers are extremely well made. The controls for volume/bass/treble being directly on the main speaker literally is genius. I was so excited to try these out. Was a little disappointed that there wasn’t dust covers for either speaker or the subwoofer, but I overlooked it. I finally turned it on & has to double check to make sure I had turned the subwoofer on. I felt it with my hand and it was barely shaking. I read other reviews about this system about the lack of bass and unfortunately, I didn’t listen. For as big and heavy as the subwoofer is, it literally doesn’t deliver anywhere near the amount of bass it should. I ordered this to replace my Klipsch Promedia 2.1 because they were a better fit for my desk setup, but the Klipsch (2 speakers and 1 subwoofer)that was 1/3 of the cost of this Edifier, and the sub was 1/2 the size delivered 10x the bass. Save your money and buy the Klipsch Promedia 2.1 for under $140 and it delivers great quality sound. The speakers were nicely built, delivered great audio, but the subwoofer was an extreme disappointment. That and one of the speakers came slightly scuffed. I just can’t justify the price of this sound system. Returned it and got the Klipsch R-41PM speakers with the R-100SW 10” subwoofer and WOW what a game changer. For the $450 you’ll pay for this you can get better value.
