Pros & Cons
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.
Highlights
Quality
The speakers are simple to install and have a wonderful sound quality.
The speakers feel solid and well-crafted, and their sleek design adds a touch of elegance to my desk setup.
If you want high bass go get something else if you want quality go with these.
I wanted good pure sound but didn't want something that was going to take up what little remaining real estate i have on my desk.

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).

Airplay was finicky at best to the point of going back to the sonos.
The a2s, sounded thin and lean in comparison.

I was a bit taken aback by their small size at first as they really are about half the size of the last set of desktopbookshelf speakers i owned a nice klipsch set i purchased in the early 2000s
