What version Bluetooth are these speakers? Also, one reviewer said he had a problem with power supply making a buzzing noise. Anyone else notice this?

I don't know about the version of bluetooth. I did not notice any buzzing sound yet.

My kids got me these spealers last Christmas (2013) and I long ago stopped using them. There is a loud background hiss, and popping noises on the bass unless turned down really soft. The bluetooth worked fine with my 5-year-old HP laptop, but really that is irrelevant under the circumstances.

I do not have this problem. It could be just a manufacturing error. I would just contact the company about this issue as I do not have this problem with my speakers.

My apologies for the long time to respond to this, this is the first time I get asked a question through Amazon. Anyways the power supply worked great for me but the problem could be from the power source or the speakers. So try to test your speaker with the same power supply at another location in your house or a friends house maybe with a portable mp3 player. Also if someone else has the same speakers borrow the power adapter or swap your friend's speakers from the monitor just to test it.

Newegg is ignoring the release date and selling them. There are 5 reviews up there if you wish to read them. I bought a pair and I'm pretty happy with them but the 7.1 drivers aren't available yet (probably the reason for the delay). They just install as USB Stereo headset at the moment. Bluetooth sounds pretty good on my phone (but still bluetooth). The PS3 ones cut out a lot over bluetooth attached to my Surface but these ones are better (although I still use the USB because it's better than bluetooth).

NathanJr is correct, however, mine didn't work at all, I was very disappointed, Amazon being awesome did get me another set of speakers at a great price...

In regards to SoundSticks being short-lived, I suspect those speakers are being played at a sustained high volume. Remember, these are supplementary computer speakers. I wish someone who had these speakers stop functioning inside the warranty period would give us feedback on how it was handled by Harman Kardon.Thanks.

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.

I have not experienced any problem as described with my speakers. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Only own one pair. I don't have any issues with buzzing. I'm sure you've tried, but it's worth asking: 1. Did you try them from a different source, amp, cable?2. Make sure the cables is inserted fully. I noticed one of the cables had a very snug fit. Hope you can solve the issue.

I agree with the other comment. If possible, pair with another device to ensure that it is not the speakers. I love these speakers :>

Did you insert the blue tooth USB adapter? I use the speakers with my IMac and have problems. Try Creative web site for tech support.

I just received a pair, and wrote about it here before I saw this. Your story sounds just like mine. Sound is terrible. I wrote Amazon about it. I guess I'll see what they (Amazon) are made of. As what to do. Send them an email. Look for "Contact Us" on one of the help pages.

I'm not sure but that's a great question. The speakers are so good and convenient, I'm honking about getting another set for my upstairs deck. The Bluetooth works flawlessly but since they don't have a driver for additional speakers you may be forced to get a second set. Call their Cust service. They were awesome. Nonetheless the speakers are top notch.

Did you resolve this issue? I have the same problem but in my left speaker. It seems to be the connection since I tried different cables and speakers and still the left speaker makes the buzzing sound.

Check the packaging really carefully, you may have trashed it by accident (it's very small). Don't worry! Firstly, you can easily use any bluetooth device with these speakers. Or, if you really want a Creative bluetooth dongle, I could sell you mine

Richard,They are an upgrade from the B-20 and the sound quality is much improved. The speakers sound amazing whether it's being played on music, live broadcast, or movie sound. I'm very please with my setup and wouldn't trade it for anything!

I have two sets of this particular speaker system. Mine work great!Hmmm, don't tell anyone okay? I did a dumb thing and my speakers wouldn't work! So I order new ones...same brand.Look at the bottom part of your monitor (screen). There is a little icon for "speaker" on the lower right side of your computer screen.By accident, I turned my speakers off. I thought there was something wrong with my old Logitech speakers. So? I ordered more. Guess what! There was absolutely nothing wrong with my old speakers BUT! These are much more clear and the volume is louder.I couldn't be happier.
