i listen to metal/hard rock, are these speakers loud? and does the harder stuff sound good through them?

I don't think these speakers will work for this type of music as soon as I turned up the volume the speakers broke.

These speakers have a great sound, but it is a balanced sound with all sound be equaled out, and the bass is there but not thunderous. The speakers are small less than an inch across not loud or booming nor in metal sense. So being that you are into metal maybe Metallica or hard rock like maybe AC/DC (one of my personal favorites) I cannot in good conscious recommend these speakers, for though they do have a fabulous sound for the likes of kitaro and the more mellow music, they are not thunderous in bass etc. I bought them for my wife and for her music they are perfect with beautiful sounding music for such little speakers. But for the more raucous and loud booming music I cannot honestly recommend these speakers.

it would depend on what kind of power you're pushing to them. I'm cranking about 75 to mine and they are by far the cleanest loudest speakers ive owned

I'm completely satisfied with mine. Good sound for the money. The "aux in" feature is a nice touch also.In regard to whether they're for audiophiles, I'm definitely not an audiophile, so no clue. I think they sound good. They don't distort my music and have adequate base considering how small they are.These are little computer speakers, not stereo speakers. They are vastly better than the speakersthat came with my Dell computer. They aren't as good as the ones attached to my receiver (which costabout 7 times more).

Not screechy at all. I don't pretend to be a sound equipment connoisseur, just an avid music listener, all different types, for my whole life. To my ear these sound superb in the bass, mid and triple range with my device equalizers set to "OFF". That's my opinion.

Oh yeah... they will hold up and sound great !! As long as you. Have a quality amp sending distortion free signal. I crank 150 watts into them using a NAD power amp and the speakers sound very good..

Yea dude, they're a pretty good set of speakers, I've read that they sound tons better if you hook them up to an amp though. But even hooked up to just my stock hu they sound damn good. They're worth every penny man.

I have no problems at all with these speakers. Make sure you get the polarity correct or you'll lose your bass response.

Same as Derek's answer. I just would like to add that these speakers hit a very good range of highs and lows for the price. Very worthwhile if you need something cheap yet good quality sound.

Yes they are better. I have 800 watts rms pushing them and its just one speaker.

Greg think but it's not the amp it's the box that really makes or break these speakers for me. I have been doing a few different. I put them in a car sub box and they sounded ok with a 300 watt amp but I think a 600 watt amp would be ok as well bit if I had a 600 watt amp I would let you know for sure what they sounded like. They are good speakers for the price I just know yet if I would recommend them to any one. I put subs and amps in people's car as a side job and I still haven't even told anyone I have them yet because I'm not satisfied yet.

I'm certainly not an expert and I've only owned the 12" models. I'd say they're plenty loud for me. Just need to find an amplifier that will give them enough power (they occupy a weird spot that's too high for most home amps, but don't need as much power as most pro amps put out). One piece of advise I was given though is that if you listen to a lot of rap or hip hop with heavy bass you'll want bigger speakers for more noise, but if you listen to rock or dance music with faster bass then you want smaller speakers because they respond quicker.

For what they are, I'd say they do pretty well. I listen to a lot of metal with double bass and tuned down guitars. These buds do OK. Like any small speaker though, if you turn em up too much they will distort. If I am out running though, the noise blocking from these and I don't have to turn em up too loud to get a good sound from them.

I have these speakers connected to an Onkyo receiver and CD player and a vintage turntable. No problems whatsoever! The sound quality is obviously dependent on the music source. I find that they have a nice bass "punch" at low to mid-level volume. I'm not one to really blast music as I live in close proximity to neighbors. I don't have any experience using these speakers with games.

To be honest to say for sur I would like to know the frequency range before I would say for sure but these speakers sound absolutely great especially around the price range they are at. I have not found anything around this price range that has the sound clarity that these do. Their high frequency range is superb their low end is also good but to say for sure I would like to know the frequency your asking about.

No. They are good speakers but only for the low budget category. You get what you pay for and with the price of these, it is a good deal but don't expect high quality for any speakers less than a $1000 each.

These are more for playing Metal/Hard Rock songs. If you plan to play that type of genre then these will do fine.

I think they sound great. I don't really push tons of volume through them, but in the small room I've got them in they sound nice and full. I dropped them into a pair of old radio shack enclosures. Can't beat the price
