Great set of speakers!! Very clear and bright sounding. Easy to set up and have many different ways to connect and easy to move if you want. I bought these for my game room. Though they are crystal clear with crisp mids and highs after reading some reviews I just bought them together with the Klipsch R-121sw 400watt 12inch subwoofer. This combination has been outstanding!. For music or games I'm not lacking any level of sound and the subwoofer is way more than enough. A 10inch sub would be just fine with this set of bookshelf speakers but I love the hard hitting deep 12 with plenty of room for expansion in the future.

Great sound. Clear voices, nice bass, and great volume power. Have them connected to my laptop through bluetooth. Easy to connect the bluetooth signal with phone or computer. They are like a foot long from front to back so if you want them for a desk, they occupy big space.

Great speakers! They come with the USB cable that connects to your computer. If you're living at an apartment or house where you can't crank these up all the way, I highly recommend turning on Dynamic Bass EQ. These sound great even at low volumes!
Bluetooth works perfectly. I'm surprised their spec sheet doesn't detail which Bluetooth codecs this speaker system supports. I tested it myself, and these speakers support SBC, MPEG-2 AAC, aptX, aptX HD. This just means the sound will be less lossy via bluetooth compared to the average wireless speaker, whether you're using Windows, Android, or any Apple device.
I was waiting for a sale and I got them $100 off. That feels like a much better price for them, personally. If I were you I'd wait for one as well.

This is my first time owning a pair of active powered speakers so I don't have anything to compare this against. I'm no audiophile but I can tell you these speakers are awesome. I've got roughly 12'x12' office and these speakers fill up the room nicely. The clarity is superb, treble and mids are perfect. I paired with a 10" Polk sub and together it rocks. I was able to get it on sale for $399 Black Friday and worth every penny.

sound great! using as pc speakers. if you want some bass i'd suggest their 10" sub to add to them. that's the only reason for one star knock in value, having to add the sub to get some punch. other than that, sleek speakers that sound great and can be used as pc speakers or general small room/office use.

These are excellent speakers with great sound and all the connections I could ask for. I'm using the optical for my pc, rca for my turntable and bt for my phone. Definitely a solid choice for powered speakers .

Great speaker's!!! Just got into vinyl and got a new set up. Started with insignia and they were terrible. So i got these and they are exactly what i needed. Im not necessarily an Audiophile but i do value and appreciate high quality sound. And these are perfect for me. Im going to buy a subwoofer from them also!!

Pretty good, I’ve paired it with the audio technica at-70xbt and it smoothly connects, however, I could definitely use a but more bass but its probably asking too much given the size of the speakers

Sound quality is exactly what I was looking for. The kids bought me a turntable for Christmas and I paired these speakers to it and am incredibly satisfied.

These speakers have plenty of connection options! The sound is amazing and I swear over the last two weeks owning these, they have sounded better and better! The sound is clear and the bass isn't too over powering. I love walking into my garage and turning them on with the remote and my phone connecting automatically through bluetooth! I purchased them open box excellent conditon for $200 plus tax and I must say, they are a steal for that price. The only complaint I have is the employee who packaged these to ship, did not put the styrofoam that holds the top part of the speakers from moving. During transit, they scratched each other on the sides. It doesn't affect their aound but they do not look "excellent" I recommend these for the $200 price!

I replaced a component system that cost over $3000 with these. I retained the subwoofer (Martin Logan 600) and the DAC SMSL VMV D1SE. Please keep this in mind. I did not use the internal dac of the Klipsch. With that in mind, I have to say these little speakers are incredible. They are very linear. Very clear and open and mostly neutral sound that I am completely satisfied with. I am using them in a small room that is approximately 10 x 12 feet. I bought these as an open box item and doubt seriously that you can beat these even at their list price of $499. If you are considering these as PC speakers, I think you will be very satisfied. If you are using these for an audio system in a small room you will most probably need a subwoofer. I have a Bose Soundbar 900 with the 500 subwoofer and 300 surround speakers and I prefer this system for tv and movies. The Bose AdaptiQ works very well and for tv and movies sounds better than the Klipsch to me. I am using the Klipsch R-40PM strictly for music listening with my PC and Onkyo CD player. The Klipsch performs so far ahead of it's price that I don't think you will be disappointed considering the price.
Very nice speakers for home usage in a small room.

Very good speakers. The most challenge with them was not the speakers per se, but to find a reliable stand, that could be used together with my Roland Fantom 8 and subwoofer. I found one, but I have to redo it so the speakers won't fall down. The original stand is not only too low, but hard to find even on the Klipsch web site. A few additions, like attached sub and ability to run music from my phone or tablet through Blue Tooth are very useful as well. The speakers can turn themselves off after some timeout, like this feature!
