The punch sound as good as reviews say.
Connecting cable could be longer for people wanting to spread speakers further away.
Clarity even with Bluetooth is excellent.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Look no further

I bought The Fives as soon as they were released back in 2020.
These speakers will awe you every day.
I connected them directly to my TV and these are the default output for my smart speakers.
The bass is really deep, the mids are perfect, and you never miss the trebles.
Simple to set up, simple to use.
I recently connected a phono to the speakers and the set-up could not be simpler than this.
If you are fed up with soundbars and do not want the messy 5.1.x or 7.x.x. then look no further, do yourself a favour and buy these.

Way way better than sound bar, not even in the same ball park. If you don't have the budget for an AV receiver then this is the ones to go for. At $600 an absolute steal.

My wife and I just watched / listened to The Beatles ,"Let it Be" on Disney Plus. These speakers are excellent for their size.

Lower review because the bass was boomy and not tight. No adjustments available to compensate for this. Highs and mid-range sounded good. Quality of speaker and materials was high.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Missing their Market

These speakers have been touted the soundbar killer and it seems they are going for this multi-use minimalist crowd with this product. Well I certainly fit that demographic and I have to say I am not impressed with the features of The Fives. I think the sound is probably good, but I can't tell at this point. I want to believe it's there but I just can't seem to find it behind the muffle of the boomy bass. If there was a way to flatten them out I would know for sure. Sportscasters voices get lost watching sports. Guitars and vocals seem to merge and drift off to insignificance.
The dynamic bass boost is actually fun and I would love to experiment with it using various sources and levels but you can't do that. It's off or on, and they both sound boomy. The app has promised an EQ but they are late to ship. Once that is here it will hopefully fix all this, but I can't say I'm confident it will. The current iOS app freezes and becomes unresponsive despite the fact that its only feature is being an online manual and startup guide. It can connect to the speakers but it can't tell you what firmware version you are running, let alone assist with updating. And that's where some people are going to have to roll up their sleeves. If you want to update the firmware to get the "bass cut" capability you are going to need a USB flash drive formatted for FAT32 and no larger than 8GB. No problem if you got one handy. I don't. And good luck finding one if you don't either. My 32GB wouldn't work and it took me some googling before finding this size limitation. I don't get it, but then again I don't understand why the only way to update firmware on a connected device is through a thumb drive!
The size of the sound that comes from these things is stupid. I mean it is hard to believe these little guys are capable looking at them. They definitely surprise you there. And there is a ton of potential. But the fact that there is no EQ support in the app is huge when considering there is no simple way to adjust without one. So two stars with the potential for four or five if the ever get the app where it needs to be. Will update

Excellent powered speakers

I bought the fives upgrading from the 15pm. I was impressed with the 15pm BUT I wasn’t expecting that big of an upgrade. I put these in my bedroom more for music listening and I’m very pleased. With Apple Music upgrading the audio quality of their music, two home runs!!!! Im a klipsch guy right down the line and the fives will keep me that way for a long time to come. I will admit it took me some time to adjust my sub to get the right bass balance but once I did, two thumbs up. Btw, even at low volumes, the music keeps rocking.
I would recommend this to a friend!
