    Wanted some speakers for my desk setup but wasn’t trying to really break the bank. These produce great sound for a decent price.

    Excellent sounding speakers that are easy to use and come with the necessary cables. The only downside is there is no way to switch between the AUX and the main line, so if both are plugged in it plays both sources at the same time.

    Great sound in a small package, I wanted to get rid of the computer audio system I had with its multiple boxes and wires. These speakers exceeded my expectations.

    Best cheap speakers you can buy. Better than anything you can get for 3 times the price. In addition to being great computer or digital media plug in speakers, these work really well as both the speakers and amplifier for a turntable set up for smaller spaces. You just need a phono preamp if your turntable doesn’t have one built in.

    I use these for both my PC and Turntable. Fantastic sound for the price. The quality control appears to be very good as well; all the seams around the speakers are tight and don’t feel cheap.

    Solid Sound and Price

    Good quality and good price. If you're needing something to hook up to your turntable and don't want to break the bank - these are it. Plus they sound great. You'll probably be surprised how much bass you can get out of these too (which you can adjust if you want). They can last you a while or if you do decide to upgrade to a much pricier set up in the future, you won't be out tons of money.

    These just look great on the desk — so much better than other plastic looking speakers. The sound is perfect.

    Best Bang For Your Buck

    I used to be a music producer and had some pretty nice studio monitors in the past. Due to this experience in my life, I'm very picky about the sound quality in speakers and headphones. These are without a doubt the best bang for your buck. Reading the reviews made me believe it but was still hesitant. Wasn't until I plugged them in and tested them which was when I was genuinely blown away. The feel and look of them is impressive. I'm still shocked that these are only $99. Speaker covers look nice, but they look even better with the cover off! Highly recommended!!
