Weak speakers
Date: 2009-10-15
Customer Rating:
These speakers are for show only not for music listening. The subwoofer is
very weak and can only handle a little bass at low volumes. After one day of owning these, one of the speakers started to make a noise as if about to come apart. I really don't recommend this for audio only for looks for it has nice blue lights on all speakers. Subwoofer speaker is only about 3 inches, box 6.5 inches high. Side speakers less than 1.5 inches, box 8.5 inches high with the lid open. Cables are cheap and thin try not to fold them if you decide to buy them. For your music get something else or you will end up returning these and wasting your time.
Cheaply made, short cables, broke in a month

The unit has cables far too short to seperate speakers from subwoofer on any reasonable size desk. Tuning is painful, with only a seek function and no memory settings. Switching from PC to radio requires a lot of light and a close look at switches. One of the speaker outlets quit working within a month - google search reveals this is a common issue.
not too bad

When i bought these speakers i already had it in mind that i didnt want any ear shattering speakers. I wanted something simple yet stylish. That is what i got and im happy. The only problems i have is that they are alot smaller than i had wished and the FM scanner is pretty bad. Oh well the speakers are nice, fit my style. If you like style and being different then these are for you.
Worse product ever, but helpful customer service.

I would like to preface my review by first explaining that I am not a sound expert.
So this was pretty much the worse product ever. When I got it out of the box, one of the speakers was rendered useless because of the speaker jacks was not working. I am not a big fan of only one speaker working. Maybe I set my expectations too high. The radio on it worked alright, but the subwoofer was producing sounds in the mid range level. I am not subwoofer expert, but I was always under the impression they should be producing lows. Once again, maybe I set my expectations too high.
When I plugged the computer speakers into my computer (that was suppose to be read in a sarcastic tone), the only "working" speaker produced enough volume to be considered a low end headphone speaker. I don't think it would look good as a headphone speaker. So I never got a chance to really hear the speakers in full capacity because they never worked!
I then contacted the seller and I said that I would want to either be refunded or sent a new set of speakers. They opted to refund my money. Although I appreciate the seller doing this, it does not show full confidence that this was a fluke. I am sure I am not the first with this problem. Save your money and time and don't order this product.
Spend the extra bit of money and upgrade.

These speakers are fine but the bass is weak and they dont get all that loud, for those of us who like to jam!! The led lights are a cool feature and the system does look neat but that can't make up for the lack of volume/bass. If you like listening at lower levels and dont need the bass to thump then get this. If you want something that is gonna rock out then look elsewhere!
