Customer Reviews
They're okay
Rating: 3
These speakers are just mediocre. The bass is AWESOME!!! (for the price anyway) Despite the awesome bass, however, the desktop speakers sound muffled. This may be because of my sound settings, but I think I would like them a little more if they sounded tinny rather than muffled. But, of course, I really like treble so that might be why.
Pros:
The bass is AWESOME for the price.
Even with the control unit, they take up very little desk real estate which is really nice.
They look very nice on the desk. Style is really nice. Even though they are tall and skinny, they are really pretty stable standing up (i.e. not as easy to tip over as some speakers I've had.
Cons:
Small speakers sound very muffled (hopefully this is just a setting that I can change on my puter somewhere.
Overall, for the price, they're not bad. I'm just not as impressed as I thought I would be based on other reviews. (again, if I can find a setting to turn up the treble a bit or something, perhaps I'll enjoy them even more).
Damned if I understand what some people are complaining about.

I'm not an audiophile (meaning versed and experienced with expensive audio equipment $10,0000, $20,0000, $40,000, $100,000 and above. But, by the way I hate tin, and I hate tinny sound systems. Hey, this ain't tinny. If it's not high end, well, I paid only about $30-$40 dollars for this and I got it on sale at Office Depot (this week only!!??).
The sound is really good for the price. (You may not like that expression "for the price)." Maybe that's what's hanging you up. Maybe you want "good at any price." But if your expecting the sound of a multi hundred (or thousand dollar) audio system for relatively free, then I'd say, you're probably also expecting big money to fall down from the sky; free medical care, a country without a multi trillion dollar deficit; and other such wonderful imaginary things (maybe also mermaids, unicorns, ideal fault-free spouses, lovers, and friends, too!). So for those of you who have these type of expectations, well, I guess the system stinks.
But from my perspective, so gooooooooooooooood! You want big money system free? Go rob a bank . . . and then there's prison afterwards. But otherwise, so goooooooooooood! Enjoy!
Very good for the money

We purchased these speakers as an upgrade to the anemic speakers on our Sharp LCD TV. And what an upgrade! You just don't realize what you're missing until you hear it. Deep, fairly powerful bass, that doesn't get muddy. Crisp, clean, bright highs that never really sound tinny or jangly. Obviously, for this kind of money, not the best I've ever heard, but very good nonetheless. The only reason why I dinged it 1 star was the awkwardness of the MP3 connector setup. Very fiddly and cumbersome, though the sound quality was consistent.
