I would buy a pair for every room in the house if I could
Best pair of Monitor speakers for the price. Bluetooth was super important to me as I'm always moving around the house, but the fact it comes with a built in pre-amp makes a world of difference too. Highs are great, lows are great too, and these things get loud if you want them too. Mids could be a tiny bit better, but not enough to where I'd complain. If you're on the fence about getting a sub, wait, these things bring plenty of bass. If you already know you're the type of person who needs that extra rumble then go ahead and pick one up. Connections are super easy, setup takes literally 2 minutes start to finish and everything works with little fidgeting.

Flexible and good sounding
I bought these speakers to replace an ancient set of Labtec USB computer speakers. Specs alone told me they would sound vastly superior to those older speakers and they do. For the small room and relatively low volume levels that I use, they have power and range that is well in excess of what's needed. The resulting sound is smooth, well-balanced from bass through mid-range to treble and free of distortion. What marked these speakers out from the competition were the many different inputs available, in particular the two Toslink optical inputs to a built-in DAC that I use for the two separate desktops on my computer desk. These bypassed the mild hum problems that my tangle of wires and dodgy grounding induced in any analog speaker that I tried, leaving me with a very high quality sound. Very satisfied.

Best speakers I've had in a while
Pretty cool to find some speakers that sound nice, have built in phono pre-amp and even blue-tooth capability. AND they look super cool. Absolutely LOVE them.

Excellent Product
This speaker are super cool and the price for the quality is even better. I would give it 5 start but only have been using it for two weeks no, so need to see how long they can be that good as they are now.

Great speakers
Sound great, look great, well thought out controls, lots of inputs. No complaints that I can think of. I paired them with the Sub6 to get a nice amount of bass.
