    What an incredible sound from $100 speakers! Set up was pretty simple, just plugging in the RCA and speaker cords, then connecting to the AUX on my PC and that was it! The remote is extremely simple with mute and volume up and down, while more controls are found on the main speaker for treble, bass and volume. The sound is clean and rich, although the bass is a little lacking, but I'm fine with that since they are desktop speakers and shaking your rig isn't the best idea. The look is also very nice! I think I prefer the protective screen off to see the speakers themselves and the wood look is a fantastic aesthetic. 10/10 for the cost

    I wish I could give these 10 stars. I have a slow laptop I decided to use for workouts but the speakers were not loud enough so I purchased these speakers. I was blown away at the bass, clarity of sound, tremble and the distance of sound it projects. I love love love these speakers. I DO NOT regret my purchase. Did I say I love these speakers? Lol

    They work. Quieter than I had expected. But the price is right if you're on a budget. Sound quality is decent.

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

    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.

    Overall Nice Speakers. I needed something to practice with DJing, and not spend too much. Quality is clear, loud Bass is the only thing lacking, but over all for the price very happy. No Delay between my controller and the speakers. Sound quality is clear no popping or anything like that. Wish I would of seen these sooner because it definitely is better than what I had. Thanks for the quick Delivery.

    These speakers are truly something special. When i bought them to power the sound of my PS5/xbox series x gaming desk set up; i didnt really expect a ton of soubd from them. However, once i got them set up i was blown away at the output of sound. Devent base with solid mids and highs. Overall tou cant veat them for the price you pay. Pick them up!

    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

    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

    Wasn’t getting that “vinyl” feel when listening to records via Bluetooth. Decided to shop powered speakers to plug into the vinyl players phono output and not spend much. Found the reviews for these speakers and decided to purchase. Wow, great buy! Speakers sound great! Came with any cable you’ll need! Love the ability to adjust treble and bass! Inexpensive! Happy that I now have that “vinyl” feel. Oh, and love the look with the grills off!

    I recently got these monitor speakers for my record player so I can free up space in my AV stand, since using them I noticed a big difference in audio quality from my records! Previously my audio was slightly drowned out, now this 2.0 system cleaned up my sound and improved the bass tones without sacrificing space!
