    EXACTLY WHAT YOU THINK

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - November 13, 2021

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just believe me that these speakers sound what they look like. That’s all. Since they are powered, they pack a punch with a built-in little amp. That means you will hear a GOOD bass there. I connected a Belkin Airplay 2 receiver with the 3.5mm jack-to-RCA cable included and now it’s an intelligent speaker in my Apple HomeKit environment. My living room is small so these are more than enough! I totally recommend these to anyone. Besides, it’s only $99. Just return them if you don’t like them, which I doubt.

    Great sound out of these speakers

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - April 21, 2020

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love these speakers. I’ve always had portable speakers with crappy sound and these are a game changer. I love the bass and how full the sound is. I played around with all types of music and they all sound great. One thing i love most is the look and size of them. The wooden outside makes them seem more modest and modern and they fit right on my tv stand without looking bulky. I also really love the controls that are on the side of the speaker. You can play around with bass and treble and make it your own. They also come with a remote which is nice. They were super easy to set up and I had no issues. One thing that could be changed is the fact that you have to connect your device through an aux cord. I would have thought that all speakers are Bluetooth now. Regardless of that I love these speakers and highly recommend!

    Not too shabby!

    Reviewed by sneaky291 - July 15, 2020

    My first impression of these speakers is that they are surprisingly powerful for such small speakers. The sound quality is very clear. For the $130 I paid I didn't expect them to fill the room with sound the way they do. Plus, this is just listening to compressed music streaming online. I'm sure if I used a higher fidelity audio format they'd sound better. These speakers don't pound... but they are loud. Plus they can handle significant bass response. Some speakers overdrive on bass right away. The Edifier speakers don't. So yeah... if you have $130 and you're looking for a pair of PC speakers that will make you raise your eyebrows and think 'Hmmm... not bad!' I would certainly recommend these.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these speakers as a Christmas gift to go along with an Audio-Technica turntable and I could not be any happier with them! They both look and sound great!

    Awesome Speakers

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - April 22, 2020

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these speakers! Sleek design and high quality audio for a pretty low price when it comes to speakers. Easy to hook up and really loud.

    Great sounding, cheap and easy to set up.

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - January 6, 2022

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What an incredible sound from $100 speakers! Set up was pretty simple, just plugging in the RCA and speaker cords, then connecting to the AUX on my PC and that was it! The remote is extremely simple with mute and volume up and down, while more controls are found on the main speaker for treble, bass and volume. The sound is clean and rich, although the bass is a little lacking, but I'm fine with that since they are desktop speakers and shaking your rig isn't the best idea. The look is also very nice! I think I prefer the protective screen off to see the speakers themselves and the wood look is a fantastic aesthetic. 10/10 for the cost

    Forget others, buy this!

    Reviewed by RumbleRo - January 15, 2021

    After watching reviews looking for budget PC speakers, I came across these but on the youtube reviews, they did not sound like anything special. All I needed was some speakers for a new base unit which was set up in the basement office. I ended buying this from BB and whoa, I am definitely happy with the purchase. My expectation was to just to use it for some music and a few youtube vids. Playing netflix and EDM, Hip hop, indie music ended up turning into a theatre or a small basement club and these are loud and bassy, especially for the price. If youre looking at the 150 budget or less, end your search and buy these. Wont regret it.

    Pretty decent, nice and loud.

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - January 20, 2023

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These speakers definitely bring more than expected. They have great, but not excellent, sound. The bass is definitely much better than I expected, and I was buying these based from reviews and the price. The speakers are hefty, have decent magnets based by the weight and sound quality. Only downside is the equalizer on the side. I can adjust the bass and treble, and is fine except when turning either to the extreme positive end, you can hear the compression of the opposite. Meaning when turning up treble it's fine until it reaches the extreme + side, where you can hear the bass being cut rather than treble added, and the same is true for the bass. Because this is only at the extreme ends of either, I just keep them lower in my settings and they sound fine. (Extreme being the last 1/16 of the turn approximately) They really are good speakers, as I am using them as studio monitors and they haven't given any kind of issues. I would recommend these to a friend, for sure.
