    This is the second set of these same speakers that I have purchased and they are legitimately the best speakers you can get at this price point. Crisp, clear, full sound - even without a subwoofer, they're incredibly rich. Cannot recommend these speakers strongly enough.

    Great speakers! They were easy to set up and sound nice. I’m not an audio pro but they work well in my opinion.

    Good sound, but not the easiest

    These are decent computer speakers. They are a little oversized for a cluttered desk, but the sound is good, although I definitely preferred my Logitech Z5500 speakers (probably just a personal preference, and they aren't made anymore). However, the Bluetooth isn't quite the easiest to use. It only seems to accept one device, and if you want to change devices you have to re-pair the speakers, losing the first connection. There tends to be a lag with sound coming via Bluetooth (i.e., if you stop a video and then re-start it) where the sound doesn't come through immediately. I can't say I would recommend using these Bluetooth for a primary connection. Overall, they seem a bit large and the quality of sound doesn't seem to justify the price point for computer speakers.

    Bought this for my computer room, they are mounted on the wall for my racing rig so I don’t have to wear headphones if I don’t want too, I also play music from them and they are amazing quality, could add the sub woofer to them but not really needed.

    Great shelf speakers for my computer setup, and enough bass that I don't feel as if I need to buy the add-on powered subwoofer that Edifier makes. Maybe if I were using it for my TV setup, but most games and music sound great. The remote is decent but nothing great if you were curious about that.

    I needed speakers for my old turntable so that i could play the records that I accumulated years ago. With a preamp these speakers worked out great. If your turntable isn’t ancient like mine you won’t need the preamp to have great sound and great times spinning disks from the old days.
