Many appreciate the speakers' compact size and surprisingly loud volume, along with the included remote control and attractive design. Positive comments also highlight the speakers' affordability. The main drawback mentioned by some customers is the lack of Bluetooth connectivity.

    A friend suggested I try bookshelf speakers instead of my usual 2.1 speaker setup for my PC, and these really get the job done! I'm very happy with the robust sound quality, and there's plenty of bass so a subwoofer is unnecessary.

    Great speakers for the computer. Great sound for the price, no hissing, completely quiet when no sound. Earlier I had a Bose set, and it had an extremely annoying hissing sounds when turned on. I have the speakers wired to the monitor. I do not want to use bluetooth because of the latency it introduces.

    Can't beat the price. CD quality excellent...streaming online I sometimes tweak the sound using my Windows Dolby EQ for added brightness and detail. Vocals very present.

    I wasnt sure what to think going into these. I had a set of Bose on my laptop for the past few years. They were clean sounding but I figured maybe something newer and bigger would givw me some more sound. These did! Super clean sound. Well built. Theyre heavy and good looking. If I turn them up half way, i hear them everywhere in my 2 bedroom house.

    I have my speakers hooked up to a Chromebox and 24-inch monitor in my kitchen. The sound is incredible. I find myself listening and watching video in my kitchen as opposed to my high-end audio system. Very nice rich sound with good bass. There is no noticeable distortion even at high volume. I hope they are built to last a long time.

    For the price, these speakers are great. Wood-look finish makes for a clean aesthetic in any office setup. Ability to adjust bass and treble are a plus. Speakers are loud and clear.

    I have these for my record player, they are amazing and don't feel like they get much recognition. Extremely loud, the bass and it sounds so clear. Perfect for a record player set up.

    Love these speakers! You will not be disappointed in the quality for the price, it's amazing. They can be connected as wired speakers or wireless and can accommodate more than one device on the same set of speakers. Purchased these for a turntable and love them!

    So glad I got these for my office setup. I have a LG Ultrawide 36” monitor that needed speakers and these were exactly what I needed. The quality has been great for all my uses, music, videos and gaming. Good lows and great highs. A gift card given to me helped make the value even sweeter. Buy it already!
