So far these have been great speakers. They are very clear, the bass hits hard, and I dint hear any muddiness. I don't consider myself an audiophile but I appreciate quality sound and I'm a fan of these. The Bluetooth connects effortlessly. I guess my only concern will be how well these hold up over time. Thus far I would recommend. I was worried since all the reviews I watched were of the versions with the front facing bass reflex port but these sound great and I find myself wondering if having the bass reflex port on the rear helped clear up the muddinees some described for the mids.
