Customer Reviews

Bought these speakers because they were cheap and Best Buy assured me they would work with Bluetooth. I wouldn't buy them again. Speakers are excellent and the manufacturer's service is even better. They actually replaced the speakers when I complained about the Bluetooth. But it didn't make any difference. The Bluetooth connection simply doesn't work with more than one device. I can spend five minutes pairing a device to the speakers if I really want to listen through another device, but I could spend less time splicing speaker wire.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the matte black pair and they look terrific. I use the USB connection to my laptop and have them on my desk at home. The sound is wonderful. It is clear with no vibration and they fit perfectly on the desk. Did not like they came with cords that are bright white. The cords look goofy connected to black speakers but everything is shows great quality.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these to replace a 2.1 Altec Lansing speaker system. These are in a totally different league. The bass while not chest pounding is quite satisfying especially considering the size of the speakers. All in all, a great buy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] these little guys functioned and sounded great but just were not quite loud enough for bedroom speakers on my vizio tv

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These speakers look beautiful, appear to be very high quality, and very well made. You will be very impressed by their appearance, the packaging was even impressive. When was the last time anyone mentioned the packaging of a product? It is definitely a high quality speaker and I wanted to love them, but if you are currently using good sub and sat system you will not be able to enjoy these speakers on their own without a subwoofer. I know that a 2.0 system will have a hard time matching a 2.1 system but since my current 2.1 computer speaker system is 17yo and is 20w for the sub and 6w each sat, I thought that this $200 original price system with 25w each speaker would come a lot closer and look amazing on my computer desk with a piano black finish. I was wrong. I got this on sale for $150 with tax so why would I invest more to buy a sub, when I can just return them and buy the Klipsch Promedia 2.1 system for $150 before tax. I gave these speakers 2 stars on how beautiful they are and and the way they look on the desk and they would honestly be good satellite speakers. if you are not currently using sub and sat system wherever you would be using these speakers, and you mostly listen to music/watch movies on your headphones and not an actual home theater system then you will love these speakers. You will not know that the low to mid-low bass is missing. But if you really want get enjoyment from your music and movies get a sub to go with these or get a different system.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have never bought speakers without actually hearing them first. Research can only take you so far when there are so many brands that are not represented at major retailers. I had been looking at the Kanto speakers along with several other brands in my search for new computer speakers. I listen to the majority of my music through my computer these days. Mostly streaming and hi res through an Audioquest Dragonfly (I recommend one of those to anyone who loves digital music). I finally took the plunge with the Kanto YU2 when I had a nice reward certificate come my way! The YU2's fit my desk nicely which was why I picked them instead of one of the larger versions. I am extremely pleased with the sound of these little speakers. The mids and highs are lively and striking, especially vocals. The bass is strong and balanced with the smooth midrange and extends much further than I was expecting. That being said, I will definitely be getting a matching Kanto sub soon as I like more bass than these put out. I tried some Coldplay and the bass sounded a bit weak with the track Magic, which has a low bass guitar intro and pounding bass drum. I then switched to Motograter and their track Down and the bass coming out sounded much deeper and resonant. Another track, Wallace, from the Blade Runner 2049 soundtrack produced amazing results. The separation and extension from high to low was exquisite and alive! It just proves that recordings differ greatly as well as our expectations. I had some old Altec Lansing speakers with a sub before these and the Kanto's produce similar results with no sub. If you're a huge bass head you will be disappointed with these speakers by themselves and will need the sub. If you want smaller speakers at a great price that are tuneful and well balanced, these Kanto YU2's are a surefire success. I will update after I get the Sub 6 to note the difference.
