Great sound, versatile

I got these a few months ago. Pretty quickly realized I needed more low end so added the Synergy Black Label Sub-120 12” sub-woofer. Rattles the house now. Excellent sound quality, from Brubeck to Ott. I think I need a little more crystal high end though. I have it setup with my TV and there are some missing highs that only come through in the center when the TV speakers are added in. Overall, great build quality, simple setup, lots of connectivity. Highly recommend.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Could not be happier with these speakers. I bought the wireless sub as well. Easy to set up and they also move from the house to my RV with no issue. These speakers are a powerhouse in a small package.

Do not buy these.

The speakers are an absolute garbage. You will be spending / wasting a lot of time trying to connect there to your bluetooth. I tried everything I could find on line and just gave up. So I have a pair of useless speakers now,

Sounds good but can't listen.

I mostly use this product at my work station, so they are relatively close to me. I'm gonna start off with the unbearable strong interferences coming from the left speaker and accompanied by strong hisses from both of the speakers. I managed to reduce the interference by sticking aluminum foil on the wooden cask approximately near where the AMP should be. Listening to music at a close range is impossible because of the reasons mentioned above.
Pros: Good Sound
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

They sound good but using is a little buggy

Bought these for my home office and they are on corners of my 2 meter wide table 15cm of the wall. I listen mainly from sitting in between with 1 meter distance, but I also have a bed in the room where I listen from 3 meters away. First I noticed the quiet hiss when the pair is turned on. It's quite loud actually on close range and low volume listening. Not so prevalent when I'm 3 meters away or if listened louder but I know it's there and it's troubling. Secondly there were the usability issues with the dynamic bass eq and it being automatically enabled. I don't like the feature, it's way too much bass for rock music I think. Actually it gives something extra for big drums and bass in classical symphony music, but otherwise it's just annoying. So every time you fire up the speakers you first need to disable the feature, which is done by pressing the sub button from remote for 3 seconds. Auto power on was something I was hoping to be working much better. My music source is the AUX input where I have my Chromecast. If I start music the speakers turn on but in USB mode, so there is no sound. Also if there was sound, then I would also need to disable the dynamic bass eq. So if you want a system that starts up when you press play on your player, then this is not for you.
Pros: Sound
Cons: "Quiet hiss" is not very quiet, Bugs, Usability
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Nice speakers except bad boominess at certain frequencies

I have these on computer desk with sub-woofer nearby. Sound is mostly great except for loud booming at some bass frequencies. Not a location issue since I get the same effect if I turn off sub-woofer, disconnect left speaker and hold right speaker in my hands away from any wall. Played the same music on other systems and booming is absent. Maybe there's a defect in mine but it's pretty bad.
Pros: Clarity, Connection options, Sub-woofer integration
Cons: Bad boominess at certain bass frequencies
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Excellent Speakers

I am thrilled with these speakers and would buy them again. I have these speakers hooked up to my television, but usually use it to play music from my phone. The sound quality is very clean and notably good. The blue tooth connects easily to iPhones and Android phones. I have the television connected with an optical cable that comes with the speakers. Switching between devices is easy. The blue tooth light is behind the speaker grill so to see it blinking I leave the speaker grill off. I like the look of the speakers without the grill so that is not a problem. In a 20' x 40' room these speakers are loud. If you like bases these speaker should be paired with a sub-woofer. I have a 10" sub-woofer which is really too much sub-woofer for these speakers so I keep the sub-woofer turned down. The sub-woofer does add a whole layer of sound. Not having to buy an amp is a huge benefit to owning these speakers.
Pros: Able to Connect to Multiple Devices, Clean Sound Quality, Lots of Power for a homeowner, No Amp Needed
Cons: The blue tooth light is behind the speaker grill
I would recommend this to a friend!
