    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.

    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

    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 .

    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.

    Very happy with this purchase. Really delivers big sound for its size, not lacking in bass response but for those of you wanting more it does support adding a sub. I dont use the bluetooth feature on it but appreciate that its there. Inhave these connected to my turntable and it’s simplicity of having both a pre amp and phono amp makes it perfect for my use case.

    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!

    Bought as a Christmas present. Sound quality is good vocals are clear. Using them with a turntable but, love the ability to connect phone to them via Bluetooth. Wouldn’t pay full price but worth the $299 on sale.

    Great sound quality! The only gripe that I have is the price point. The ease of setup is great! The remote/ output options are great, but I wouldn’t say all of that is quite worth the pricepoint.

    10/10 would recommend. I would love a second channel so I can split to my TV but 10/10 easy to setup and use. :) Sounds great. I love the sub volume. It was for a record player and it has everything I need for that purpose.
