Do these speakers look "cheap" in person. Just by looking at the pictures online I can't tell.

It is a plastic housing. They are "light-weight" but sturdy. I own 2 pair. One is setup permanently outside, the others are inside. I think they sound great, although lacking in bass thump.

They don't look cheap.... They go great with my 42" Samsung and the AV equipment I have. All of them are black so the speakers blend right in... The sound is great also... I have them hooked into a 7-1 set up and they pull their weight like a champ.

They are Ok. I mean, they aren't booming bass, but they are certainly a very broad range of good sound. The bass is legit, but if you want huge bass, I'd suggest getting some bass speakers for your trunk or some stuff like that.

Honestly, they are kinda cheap once you get them. They don't look as great as I thought they would. Just my personal opinion.

For the price you pay for these speakers I would have to say the quality is very good. Granted I don't usually crank the bass up to the exteme but so far I don't notice any vibration. I have them hangign on my wall. My opion is that these are all round better than average speakers.

For their size they are great speakers with fantastic reproduction. You can overdrive them so be careful.

I didn't think they felt cheap at all. I thought they looked and felt like professional quality. I've had mine since June 2014, so about 6 months with no issues. Now granted I've basically plugged them in and left them. They get switched occasionally from game system to game system, but nothing like the wear a DJ would probably put on them so I can't give an informed response if they'd hold up. It seems like they would if they were treated with normal care.

I want to know the same thing. Everyone makes it seem like a pair saying: I bought "these" speakers but it doesn't say. I'm thinking of going with the 300 watt which clearly depicts it.

Hey Matt, I bought a box that was made for my challenger on amazon that was awesome. The speakers are bad ass for the price. I like em alot. They sound as good as all the expensive brands, and that is normally what you get from "Im the shit right now brands" Hope this helps

You shouldn't notice much difference in sound from when these are new and after they have played for a couple thousand hours... These are surround speakers so should be either the rear or side speakers which get very little use. Effect speakers in general see under 5% of what the front sound stage will see... I have never seen any proof that speakers needed to "break in", hook them up and enjoy...

No, they do not feel cheap. They feel very well made. People around you can hear your music if it is turned up loud. But the sound is amazing. :)

On my speakers, it's a black background with metallic lettering. The writing on the actual speaker is also gray, not white. I thought they were going to look funny too (I received my speakers the first week of January), and contemplated even buying them. I'm glad I did though. I saved a little money, and so far have a solid product. You can remove them, yes. However, the speaker grate is indented for the logo, so it could make them look even worse. Not to mention you may leave glue residue behind. I'd say pick up the speakers if that is holding you back, they look a lot better then this picture shows.

Your guess as as good as mine. I enjoy mine almost every day, but they are wired up to my audio amp. My guess is that Amazon is so fond of these speakers that they want everybody to notice them, regardless of the section they're browsing.

Mine's ok. I don't use them as my primary speakers though and I don't mind. I'd suggest getting some good portable speakers (possibly bluetooth...).

They are a fair speaker the bass is not bad in volume however it does tent to sound quite muddy I would personally get a set of the Rockford prime series in the 6 x 8 as I own both of these.T he improved sound is worth the extra cost. good luck

No, these are amazing! I bought a pair B stock for $230 off of Ebay (after $20 Bing cashback), and I love them! I have had them for several weeks now with no issues. The only minor expected problem is a tiny rattle in the left speaker when playing LOW bass, as in below 40 Hz. But it's very slight, and as I said, expected. For $230, I couldn't be happier. Here's the link to the speakers on eBay (sorry it's so long): http://cgi.ebay.com/Audioengine-5-Speakers-White-B-Stock-Free-Shipping_W0QQitemZ260493630912QQcmdZViewItemQQptZSpeakers_Subwoofers?hash=item3ca6a15dc0 The black pairs are all out unfortunately.

You didn't say what you're using them for and if you have a subwoofer but have you looked at the plastic speakers ? They are light and sound pretty decent.

Yes, that's one reason I bought them. I recommend them to anyone. They are great speakers for the price. I use one for our drummer and one for our bass player and they work great.
