If you're getting into vinyl records, and or LP's, this is a great set of speakers for beginners. The sounds are crystal clear and easy to hear. If your're used to listening speakers with heavy bass like Beat Speakers then these aren't for you. You're able to change the treble and bass level on the speakers but don't expect for it to rumble like you're at a club or a car. These are bookshelf speakers and you'll get great crystal sound in the room. They can get loud but don't expect to rock the house for a party, unless you're a nerd playing Dungeons and Dragons with a group of friends and you have a Hans Zimmer soundtrack playing then boy oh boy it's going to be a great night!

These speakers have been a great addition to our home. They are Bose quality or better. Adjustable bass and treble and they ROCK (if you want them to). We have ours connected to our Alexa device and it makes for great on-demand music. It fills the room with beautiful sound. I would buy these again in a heartbeat.

These speaker has great sound to them and it is good to see speakers that give you control of the sound quality you want from speakers. Even though the prices of the speakers have gone up I still find it is still worth the price.

I am very impressed with these speakers. They are easy to set up and connecting the two with an audio cable is straight forward. Once they are turned on the sound is clean with good base. They look nice enough to keep under my TV in the living room and fill the whole room with good sound. Happy with my purchase.

Purchased for computer use. Sound and design exceeded expectations. Lacks a headphone jack but front facing port, bass, and treble let you dial in the sound perfectly for a desktop. RCA jacks let you decide L/R speaker positioning. Super low freq output helps games a lot. Aux jack for external Bluetooth a plus so you can get one that works with your devices even after new versions come out. Future proof.

Beautiful speakers. Love the look and feel. I was expecting a little more umph but they are only 42 watt speakers ( thats on me ) my only gripe is the remote that doesn't have a power button and just feels really cheap. I purchased them for my TV in the den. They work great.

Never heard of this Edifier brand before. Suggested by a Best Buy employee. The power of the bass, the highs and lows between the midrange and tweeter are powerful! The wood casing is an attractive plus. I would recommend Edifier and would purchase again.

Great sound! I was worried I wouldn’t be able to put each speaker far apart from each other but it worked out perfectly! Easy to set up as well!

Nice, medium size speaker, with pretty big sound. I connect them up directly to my iPhone via 1/8" stereo to Stereo RCA cable. They sound pretty darn good. It would be nice if they had bluetooth. That said, for the cost, great speaker.

If you can find these speakers in stock, buy them now! I’ll save the research on tech geek sites, as I’ve already done it. This pair of speakers is top rated, and beats speakers that are 5x as much money…you’re paying for the label. I have these paired with a low-end Audio Technica turntable, with no receiver. The sound quality is unreal. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed, and you can’t beat the price.

Recently bought a new record player but i wanted better sound quality. Look at the reviews for the speakers and decided to purchase them. Best decision ever. For the price of the speakers the sound quality is very good and it also comes with a remote, speaker wires, and aux wires. I easily hard wire the speakers to my player and I'm now enjoying listening to my albums even more.

I bought these for my friends because they were just using their TV's built-in speakers and needed something better. They loved how much better the sound was, especially for their music for around the house, which is the main thing they use them for. Now, these don't have a dedicated subwoofer, so if you want that rumble, these are not the speakers you're looking for. Considering there's no subwoofer, they are on the more expensive side, but if you're looking for a set of speakers that let you hear every detail you want to, are a step above the rest aesthetically speaking, and don't want to disturb the downstairs neighbors with the bass, these are the ones for you.
