    So these are not for everyone, lets start there. Unless, you buy a Subwoofer as well. If you are in a small room, or apartment, these are fantastic. The sound quality is a lot higher than you will find in traditional "desktop PC" speakers by a fair margin. The highs are very crisp and clean. The bass is punchy but does not hit the lows boomy kind of sounds that you get from traditional PC speakers you find that come with a Subwoofer. If you add the Edifier T5 subwoofer to these, they are Unmatched in the their price point. Overall I am SUPER Happy with the way these sound out of the box for the space I have them in, and the addition of the Subwoofer I purchased to go along with these make these Top Notch. Highly recommend these.

    I am amazed at how well the sound is at both top and bottom for the price. At some point, I might add a subwoofer, but frankly, it doesn’t need it. The ability to pick out specific sounds in frequencies when gaming, or listening to music, made me realize just how much of an upgrade they were from my previous speaker system. I highly recommend them.

    Using these as desktop speakers, the sound is crisp with plenty of low in. Having the options of bluetooth, optical along with 2 RCA sets is nice. There is a sub-out port though not being used.

    For the price you really cant beat it. Much better sound than youll get from a soundbar of a similar price. This version includes bluetooth support and additional support for a sub if you decide to add one in the future. Cant beat the value.

    Great option for those not looking to dive into having a fully dedicated stereo system, with plenty of connectivity options. Sounds decent, would definitely benefit from adding a subwoofer.

    Great sound for a great price. Not audiophile quality, but for everyday listening for music and gaming their great. Surprising amount of bass for such small speakers. Would buy again or recommend to a friend.

    They look great the setup is easy and they come with a remote. The Bluetooth ones are worth it for me because I use my Phone a lot of the time to listen to music in my apartment. They fit really nice in all the different areas I have moved them to and they sound so good. Even the difference between being right in front of them and next to them, you can hear the directed audio coming at you and it sounds so good. I used them on my tv and they were so good. When I switched back to the soundbar after it sounded so dull and flat. I’m getting at least one more set of these for my apartment.

    Love these speakers, they reach a volume sweet point for me where they arent too loud or too soft and have a decent bass (though i would recommend a subwoofer if you are more into a more heavy bass sound ). Works perfect for my setup as a blue tooth and speaker for vinyl player
