    I have picked up this speaker yesterday (1/26/23) and owning it for a couple of hours I would say you do get more out of what you paid for. It doesn’t look or sound like its a budget friendly speaker. Sound quality is great, I have been playing games, music and movies and it does the job right. If you weren’t on a budget I would suggest you get the wireless version of this so it would be easy for you to manage the wires. But regardless of the wires they sound great no complaints.

    I love these speakers, very classic and simple. Sound is good, we appreciate the remote too. Aesthetically coordinating with the record player vibe too.

    wanted to finally upgrade our record player and couldn’t really decide on what speakers to use. i hear a lot about how these are good beginner speakers so i decided to buy them and literally have no bad experiences with it. the sound quality is amazing and super easy to set up!

    Just believe me that these speakers sound what they look like. That’s all. Since they are powered, they pack a punch with a built-in little amp. That means you will hear a GOOD bass there. I connected a Belkin Airplay 2 receiver with the 3.5mm jack-to-RCA cable included and now it’s an intelligent speaker in my Apple HomeKit environment. My living room is small so these are more than enough! I totally recommend these to anyone. Besides, it’s only $99. Just return them if you don’t like them, which I doubt.

    Great sound for the price. During the day, these are the speakers for my home office to sue for focus music and zoom calls. In the off hours, they get used for playing all types of music. The only area they struggle for me, slightly, is with directionality. If they aren’t pointed towards you, the sound quality tapers off. I wouldn’t use these to fill a large room with good sound, but it’s just right for a medium sized home office

    Really a great speaker system for beginners/ novices especially. Excellent quality and good value for the price. They are slightly bulky, but not unmanageable. Very simple to set up, sound clarity meets and even exceeds expectations

    Don't get this if you don't like playing sounds at a relatively high volume. At lower volume it sounds like regular cheap speakers. You have to play it at a fairly high volume to actually get a feel of the sound quality. So might not be suitable for apartments with thin walls

    Blown away by the sound that comes out these things! Originally I was gonna pick up some audio engines which are 3x the price of these but with all the positive reviews I wanted to give these a shot. No regrets here.

    I bought these speakers because I was tired of using my bluetooth speaker, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much of a difference in sound quality these provided.
