    Great alternative to PC speakers with subwoofer

    Replaced a 2 speaker sub combo with these. I needed more desk space and wanted a cleaner look without sacrificing sound quality or bass. The bass and sound quality is on par with my old 2.1 setup. I use these connected directly to my PC. Would work great for bookshelf speaker, or any setup for that matter.

    Used these as a replacement to my old junk computer speakers. I didn't realize how awful my old audio was until I hooked these speakers up! There is plenty of volume, the highs are crisp, and the bass is great. I'm sure that a 2.1 system with a dedicated subwoofer might have more bass, but these speakers have plenty for my needs.

    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.

    A great deal for the price, not only do they look great on my desk, but they have a really good range and volume level. Comes with plenty of stuff to get it hooked up to the right plug to girly your needs.

    Aesthetically pleasing, super loud, the adjustment knobs on the side are perfect for a quick eq fix of treble or bass. These were worth every penny. I don’t have much to say besides they’re really great and sound amazing. The remote it comes with is a huge plus.

    Great speakers for my turntable. I think for their price point you can’t ask for much more. Having a remote to control them from across the room is also super nice!

    Bought this for my wife and paired it with an Audio-Technica turntable. If someone tells you that vinyl sounds better, believe them! These speakers are easy to setup and even come with a remote to adjust the volume. Dials on the sides of one allow you to adjust the base, treble, and volume levels. Worth every penny!

    For $100 bucks I don't think you can find much better than these. I tried the Bose Companion 2 Series III speakers and ended up returning them and buying these. Much better quality and sound and comes with a remote. http://digitalstereophony.blogspot.com/2016/12/bose-companion-2-iii-mackie-cr3-and.html

    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.
