Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The speakers are very well built and have a tiny slit at the bottom of each (on the front) to allow the mini-sub or midrange to breathe.

They sound reasonably full and not hootie. Being able to just play music from my phone is super convenient. They sound best next to your desktop after you break them in and placed on the stands (which are worth it) directed at your ears. Directionalit...  Read More

The walnut and the metal trim and volume knob on the front is clean and beautiful. The quality is top tier, love the smoothness of the finish. It's worth mentioning that it's substantial and well-constructed.



Cons

No bass, super shrill highs, and super-duper muddy mids. White noise is definitely noticeable in a quiet room. Default eq tuning on them is atrocious.

There are many other companies out there that act more professionally and properly back their products against manufacturing defects. Save your money and don’t fall for the pretty package and forced hype. Otherwise purchase something else.

Quality


The speakers are simple to install and have a wonderful sound quality.

So much so i just paid another $50 for these speaker stands (model attached).


In which case, the extra cost would be well justified, and not having on with these is in no way a waste of money.


They are a bit pricey but you get what you pay for.

Shipping


Delivery was speedy, it came much earlier than expected.


I received the speaker yesterday, had it set up in literally minutes.

Packaging/appearance


The product was packaged perfectly and each speaker was encapsulated in their own velvet bag to protect the speaker.


The color of the speakers is perfect and i didn’t notice any imperfections upon opening the package.


Sitting on a box (which brought to ear level).

Competitiveness


Creedence clearwater revival recordings had a vintage warmth to them and were more comfortable to listen to compared to ac/dc r...  Read More

Airplay was finicky at best to the point of going back to the sonos.
