I recived this , it had a plastic seal but when i went to play it, the cd played the music, it tried i should say but made alot of distortoins if some kind. Took it out of my cd player immediately and inspeced it and it several scratches noted. I then played some of my other cds and player, and they played them fine, so i ruled out the possibility of it being the fault of my cd player. I wondered if this cd was used, i thought i bought it new. I didn't notifly Amazon directly,  because of some other cd issues i have had. Also, when i write reviews they say they can't print it. I don't understand,  i am writting the truth about a item i purchased and reviews are good and the not so good. So if one can't write the truth, why bother ask for a review from a good paying customer.

Now that I've had these speakers for a few months I find them to be quite adequate. Some softer music sounds too thin, as others have noted. If you're on a tight budget and need some really small speakers though, these are okay. Volume is not a problem. I'm listening to Medwyn Goodall's Clan album right now, and it actually sounds quite good, but that's a very well produced album. The led light is way too bright and I had to cover it with electrical tape.

I didn't play it while I had prime. So I don't hate, it's just I never heard it.

perfect for a world where there are plenty of players,and none of them wants to break a big bill if they don't have to

I was originally taken aback when I saw this set was comprised of CD-Rs, but I have to say: A) They play just fine, perfectly in fact, and that's in a player that is prone to skips; and B) The tracks sound great, exactly the way they're supposed to (this is Wolf we're talking about -- not the Vienna Octet -- you want clean sound, you're looking in the wrong place!). And boy, did this set have people dancing, shaking, and generally partying around the record store I run, and that's the best testimony of all to its worth. The music speaks for itself, and the Chess stuff is obviously more familiar than the RPM material, but all of it is of fine quality. And what's more, it's a pretty comprehensive look at Wolf's output -- truth is, he didn't get around to recording an actual "album" until the end of the 1960s; everything before that was an assembly of single tracks. And here they all are, through 1962, plus a bunch of early 1950s tracks that were unissued at the time. It's some of the finest blues ever recorded, and is nicely annotated, too.

There's nothing too fancy about these speakers, but I haven't had a single problem with them since I've gotten them. The knob did pop off when it accidentally hit the floor, but I was able to pop it right back on with no further trouble. The sound is clear, but don't get these if you like using base. These really don't have any. I use these for YouTube, but not for music. I'd recommend them if you need something inexpensive and reliable, but if you're looking for party speakers, keep looking.

EDIT: All this time later and they still work perfectly. The cord's slightly too short for my liking, but I still use these speakers. I decided to change the rating from 3 to 4 stars.

I was able to get 6 playable balls out of the 50. The rest are good for practice. Having the AAAA rating is supposed to mean something, apparently not to these guys.

Dvds skipped or stalled a bit, but I removed them & cleaned them and they played fine.

They were a little larger than I thought they'd be, but they worked fine.

They were ok. The analog control wasn't very fine so was hard to play some games that required delicate movement.

I did not hear this recording in 1962 when it came out. The booklet accompanying this CD suggests that, comparatively speaking, "Two of a Mind" fell flat among its potential audience because of the Bossa Nova craze, which did, indeed, attract a lot of attention. But many of us were listening intently to jazz at the same time, and I think it is not impossible that this recording just did not fire many people in 1962, and hence never became popular, because it was not judged exciting enough. Hearing it now, that is certainly what I feel myself. Normally, I am a great fan of both Desmond and Mulligan, and the prospect of hearing the two together greatly appealed to me when I bought the CD. The music is affable, pleasant, and competent, but, though the performances are impeccable enough (after all, both saxopohonists were among the really great ones of their period), there is a degree of lifelessness here - a lack of the necessary spark. I tend to listen to the CD as pleasant background music rather than as a strong musical experience, and doubt whether I would buy it again. Ironically, both Desmond and Mulligan played music far more exciting - separately as well as together - when playing with Dave Brubeck. I feel that on this occasion they did not truly inspire each other, even though working harmoniously enough...

They were for a older and cheaper guitar but made it sound much better.  They play well as far as I can tell but I'm not an accomplished player.

They did not have to worry in making a good quality. It is not the quality of the group, but the sound quality. It's too bad.

I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend. I was nervous due to the reviews regarding skipping problems, but went ahead with the purchase anyway. He just played both records and they played beautifully with no skipping. Not sure if the skipping problem is related to certain players, but it worked on our Sony PS-LX300USB. Great collection of songs.

Not much for me to say about these other than they installed well and when I hooked cable up to them the sound came through fine. I am not an audiophile and have no means of testing the quality of the signal coming through, but I had no problems playing audio from my tv to my sound system.

Not quite what I expected, but worked out fine...

I still have the original records but now cannot play them, so these CDs will do the job well.
