I bought this speaker system to put in my garage, so i can plug my phone into it and listen to music while i work. The sound quality is pretty good when the volume is between 1 and 60%, but the satellite speakers distort when you turn them up any higher, but hey... they were less than 25 bucks... I wasn't expecting it to sound like a bose. PROS: Price. Sound good for the price range. Easy to hook up. CONS: The wiring. Speaker wires could be at least twice as long as they are. (had to buy 2 Stereo 3.5mm audio extension cables just so i could place the sub woofer anywhere but right on top of my work bench.) Overall: Not a bad deal. All together with the extension cables i still have less that 35 dollars into this setup. And it does exactly what i need. I don't need it to shake the whole house. Just some tunes to liisten to while i'm tinkering in the garage... This system does the trick just fine.Read full review

Pros: cheap. Easy to use/connect. Plugs are better that using usb sometimes. Refurbished looked like new. Volumes control and earphone connector separate from speakers so you can put away or have close to you. No need for earphone extension cable. Cons: no separate volume control for subwoofer. No treble or bass level control. Sound is biased to low range frequency. Treble is almost non audible. Perhaps my refurbished item alone have that problem. Or it might be normal for the item and my was returned for that reason.

First impression- too much Bass and no way to turn it down. There are no adjustments to the sound of these speakers. While overall the sound quality is good enough, considering the price, when cranked up to near maximum the Bass takes over and dominates the sound. If you like boom boom boom it's okay. However, with a little experimenting I found that if I turn down the computers sound level (50%) and use only the speakers volume control it was better. Better but still not good. I noted that the Bass speaker was on the very bottom of the box (and in fact exposed) and that I was setting it on a very hard tile floor. Hmm. I cut a piece of black foam packing material I had laying around just a bit larger than the box and slipped it under the speaker. Much better, a little sound absorbing material under the speaker really helped. Sound quality now is good considering the price of the units. One welcome improvement would be at least a simple tone control found on other speakers. The two Tweeter speakers work quite well, they have good sound quality and when the Bass isn't drowning them out are quite pleasant listening. I would have to say that after my tweeks is when their quality really showed up. I will recommend these speakers and caution the buyer that you may need to be aware of how and where you set them up. Or, if you like a lot of Bass- these may be what your looking for.Read full review

I have many brands of desk top speaker systems over the past 15 years. From Altec Lansing, JBL and Harmon Kardon. This system is at best fair in audio quality. Even my co-workers who are not audiophiles noticed a qualitative difference. This is in addition to the fact that the Altec Lansing was operating on one speaker and a sub woofer. A channel had blown, and I decided to replace the old system. Yet even with one speaker, the quality was better in Altec Lansing. Given the price, while modest, I could have bought a good used system that sounds better. Upper range is flat, base pretty underwhelming. It sounds like a budget system (which in fairness it is a budget price), but I have bought other systems used in the same range of price and all three systems (I mentioned prior, Altec Lansing was the only one with a stand alone sub-woofer, jbl and Harmon Kardon did not) far outperformed this system. You can do better... Read full review

I use these speakers in conjunction with a chromecast audio and the set up is perfect. The speakers only costing $30 and the chromecast being $35 makes this a cheaper alternative to hifi speakers. It's very simple and the sound quality is very good too and the base is great on these things. I would recommend this setup to anyone looking to get some speakers but you don't have a lot money you want to spend.
