    All speakers for my vinyl record player. For the price, the sound is perfect with the ability to tune, bass, and treble you can’t get much better than this.

    For any computer speakers under $150 I would say that these would be the best you can get. Have a good range and bass just set the dials at reasonable levels and make sure your computer volume is set right. The next speaker price point that I believe would be the next step up would start at a minimum of $250 and it is likely that $300 would be your starting point My computer volume is at 70% or lower which is what most companies recommend for your computer volume Then I have the treble and bass dials set at zero as I use the program that controls my sound output for the equalizer and other effects

    I generally shy away from small 'bookshelf' loudspeakers because they always sound to me like "...a speaker in a box,' with resonances in the male voice range that render speech somewhat unnatural and a lumpy bass response. But on the merits of othes'r reviews I picked up a pair of these at BestBuy and am really impressed. In the first place, they do not sound 'boxy' at all, and secondly have low-end response beyond expectations. There are no obvious resonance bumps in the response, and no subwoofer is required for "real" music listening, although hip-hop fans might make use of the independent sub output that this unit provides. These are used at an audio R&D bench and really rival a big JBL system normally used for critical listening.

    I love my Edifier powered bookshelf speakers. The sound is amazing for my video editing needs. I get a good balance between the highs and lows. If you don’t do audio production, then this will absolutely work for you.

    Sounds great for my pc guitar setup. Added a discrete sub, as it does roll off pretty fast. Loud enough to keep up with my guitar practice amp.

    It is very good I’ve been using this instead of my headphones and started to use an independent mic and it’s so much better than a head set

    If you're a bass head, you will need a set of speakers with a sub. However, if you're after a pure, clean audio experience, these speakers are amazing. I bought speakers 20 years ago that were twice as expensive as these and they didn't sound nearly as good. It's hard to describe, but they sound full and vibrant... like the sound has some weight to it. They are very well engineered and worth every penny.
