    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Bought 2 pairs. One was defective (right speaker crackling) out of the box, but the other pair sounded so good that I exchanged it for another, and thankfully that pair had no issues. 2 sets of these in the house, and I'd recommend and buy again.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    These speakers may be small but they are mighty. Great highs, great lows. Attached them to a turntable I purchased and they worked great. Easy to use. Comes with cables to attach to your computer as well. Awesome!!!
