Rated 4 out of 5 stars
A lot of Bang for the Money, literally.
Took a chance on them, and they paid off. They're a little bigger than I thought they'd be, but still narrow and not so large you have to rearrange your computer desk. (And they send you quite a few decent quality cables). I'll primarily use them for monitors to mix music, and they deliver a clean flat sound. And surprisingly for their size, they give you some very nice bass. Doesn't hit really HARD for the bass, as you may imagine for the size of the speaker, but it'll still deliver on sound. You can hear it struggle when it gets past 50z, but most speakers will, unless they were much larger. I don't think you would find any speakers this size that'll perform better in that area though.. They deliver well with their highs and mids, nothing muddied up in the middle. And I mostly listen to rap, R&B, Jazzy, and some rock and roll songs, so it covers a great range of music. If you were curious about them, I say take the plunge, they are great for casual listening and mixing. They're performing great for me, and they aren't even broken in yet, couldn't be much happier with the purchase.
