Very good speakers, worth every penny

These speakers were easy to install and hooked up to the system which sounds great.  My only complaint is that the connections to the speaker for the wires are too small and not typical.  Other than that, they are great.

I have no trouble giving these speakers 5 stars when considering their performance and the money they cost. For a 149.00 including shipping, you just cannot beat them, no way, no how. Certainly, there is no booming base, but there is a very nice clear thump. The highs are crisp, clear and very clean. I live in an average 2 bedroom apartment and have them hooked up to my Vintage Yamaha CR-840 receiver and Yamaha YP-800 turntable and in this smallish enviornment they just ROCK. They blow it out cleanly all the way up to about 3/4 of the way up the pot on this high powered receiver. If you need good speakers for a smaller type of a spot, save the money and pick these up. Remember that I have them hooked up to a very good clean source as in the Yamaha CR-840. Also, they only cost 149.00, do not compare them to 400.00 a piece speakers.

These speakers are apparently no longer available, but I write to recommend them used or their newer model replacements based on a very positive experience owning them for a couple of years.

I bought these speakers originally to supplement the pathetic sound on a Dell Inspiron laptop and have since moved them over to a desktop Mac EMac, and found them to be outstanding for both machines. However, I've also found them portable enough to move them over to our low-end TV when we wanted a big sound out of a DVD or a musical performance, over to an iPod, and off a digital camera to show off some baby videos. The independent volume controls and deep range on the speakers provide lots of flexibility in mixing in a variety of sources, and we've actually found the dual sound inputs on the back (there's an A to B mix switcher to allow simultaneous dual sound sources) to be quite useful. One can, for instance, hook up a connecting line from the stereo and use these as a second set of bookshelf speakers without unhooking it from the computer, and with a flick of the dial on the one speaker, change the mix between the two. We're sort of halfway between using traditional music sources and computer-based sources, so having cables running "both ways" has been nice.

As with most Bose speakers, the range and fidelity are excellent, and it is possible to turn the volume up too loud to the point of distortion, but (thus far) when we've done that there's no apparent damage to the speakers. In other words, for a pair of tiny desktop speakers, they provide more sound and volume than we really ever want or that the source can actually provide with any fidelity.

I particularly like the slight angle to which these speakers are canted, as they point the sound sources towards one's ears. They're also directionally accurate, so if you want to "point" your sound and still get the surround effect, it's easy enough to do.

The RF shielding is outstanding; I have one speaker crammed right up against a traditional CRT, and I've never seen a quaver on the screen, nor has there been any noticeable distortion in the operation of a variety of electronic devices that get thrown into a space close to the speakers.

My only quibble with the provided package is the length of the cables and power cable, a common problem for all the desktop arrangements; one does want to stretch the cables around an astonishing array of stuff sometimes.

In any event, I rarely write reviews of electronics products, but I've been so happy with these speakers I decided to go ahead and make an exception. I've been very disappointed by desktop speakers before, but not this time.

I bought these based on a strong recommendation from CNET, and they were right.

These speakers sound excellent and provide a great amount of bass from the large subwoofer.  The remote is very helpful too.

I got very lucky to get these for $90, but I would pay $200 for them if I had to buy them again.  I guess word got out how good these are because as I right this they are selling for $350.

If you're looking for great computer speakers, congratulations, you just found them (but recommend buying in the $200's).

These speakers work really well and put out a LOT of sound.  We set them up in a 30' by 60' room and they can fill the room with sound.  Before buying we looked up the reviews and they were really well rated and listed as "Best Buy for your Money".  They live up to all of the hype.  Bose may have been better, but at quadruple the cost.

I've had these speakers for several months now and I love them. They are the best sounding $30 speakers I've heard and do not regret purchasing them.  If you are looking for high end speakers with lots of features, look elsewhere.  But if you don't need audiophile, high end speakers and just want an inexpensive, but good sounding set, you can't go wrong with these.  Below are some things I like and minor issues that weren't a deal breaker for me.

What I like:
- They go plenty loud for my office setting.
- Bass response is good but not overpowering
- Have a nice, rich sound, especially for the price.
- Volume nob is easy to adjust.
- Relatively small footprint.

Minor problems:
- Cabling a bit short
- No bass control
- No headphone jack

Purchased these speakers about a year ago, and I couldn't be happier with the bang for the buck. They were a little bit stiff at first, but after breaking them in for a few months the sound imaging is solid. Primary use is music, with a few movies here and there. I don't have a surround setup, so these speakers carry the full load. Even without dedicated center and surround channels, they do the job quite nicely.

These are set up in my living room, which is about 20 x 10, carpeted, with 12 foot ceilings. Imaging doesn't seem to be a problem, I get full colorful sound at all volume levels, even with all the upholstered surfaces. FM radio even sounds pretty amazing with these, with completely clear stereo channel segregation and a nice warm tone.

Of course results will vary, but if you pump enough power to them, these speakers will not disappoint. Make sure to calibrate them to your specific room. My Pioneer receiver has a self-calibration mode with a wired microphone to set things up, after I did that the sound quality increased by a decent amount.

The reason I'm only giving these speakers 4 stars is that the bass response leaves something to be desired. But considering that the cones are only something like 6 inches, it's about what I expected. However, with a subwoofer hooked up, these things jam.

Bottom line, a great sounding speaker for the buck. Add a dedicated subwoofer to fill in the bottom end and you'll be more than happy with your purchase.

These are the best speakers I have ever replaced. The sound is clear with a much deep base. They were a lot more than I expected. My only issue is I have some distortion from the stock radio which is not the fault of the speakers. But overall great sound for the price!! definitely worth the money!!

I put these on my"list" shortly before Christmas 2016 because I was unhappy with the speakers I had on my PC. But then I bought a dedicated sound card for my PC and made my current speakers so much better that I never bought these Logitech speakers. My wife bought these for me for Xmas 2016 because they were on my list and she didn't have any other gift ideas for me. So since I was happy with the speaker setup I had they sat in the box until today (12/25/2017). I decided to put them to use on my PC because I wanted to re-purpose the ones currently on my PC for a retro-arcade that I built because they were sized well for the application. WOW had I known these Logitech speakers sounded this good I would have swapped them out on day one. these are very very impressive for PC speakers.

I bought these, along with the EP500 (<<<This thing is a monster), QS8's, and the VP150 at the very beginning of 2010. It was my first serious stereo system, and I figured that if I was gonna buy, I might as well do it right. It took me probably 2 months and days worth of research to decide on these. I'm not going to go in depth and try to sound scientific about it all, but I will say that these speakers are incredible. I can't say that I have had any experience around other more expensive brands, but I have been around other brands around the same price, and they were not very good, what with muddy bass and a very poor sound stage.

The sound stage on these when set up properly, is incredible. The blend beautifully to create a stage that completely natural and never overbearing (Though, in my case, they can be a bit, as they are underpowered. More on this later) One of the many beautiful things about these speakers is that you really can't tell where the sound is coming from, which is how it should be. The sound just seems to emanate from a generalized area, and very rarely directly from the speaker itself.

The bass delivery on these is incredibly impressive. In all actuality, most people, if using just for music, do not need a subwoofer. These things hammer out more bass than the cheap 10" Polk woofer I had prior to this purchase, per speaker. And not only is the bass plentiful, but its produced with great authority. Its as if they have subwoofers built in, instead of just the 2 6" woofers they have. Its quite impressive.

The cabinets I have are the cheap generic black laminate, which is fine since I was on a bit of a budget. The Axiom emblems broke on two of my speakers, which lends a bit of a cheesy feeling to the quality, which I was not, and am still not, impressed with. Despite the cheap-y feeling of the aesthetics, they are definitely well built.

Ok. So, these speakers require ***4*** ohms to be driven properly. Unfortunately, my AVR is only good down to 6 ohms, and its was not exactly a cheap unit when it came out (Denon3310CI), but not exactly high end either. I'm sure that most AVR's are going to be putting out the same kind of power, up to 16+ ohms. This means that you really need to be using a separate amp for the mains in order to A) have them sound the best, B) Not wear them out so fast, and C) Not push your AVR so hard. Alas, I didn't take this into consideration when I bought them, and have been unable to afford a good enough amp for them. Afterall, I spent nearly $4500 on the sound system when I bought it, not sure I could've managed an additional $1k.

Bottom line, the speakers are incredible. The only weakness that I have with mine are the cheap emblems, and the overall cheap look of the laminate, but that was my choice. Also, since they are direct from manufacturer, and unless you live near their facility, you don't get to listen to them first. Which, isn't too big of a deal, because they are AWESOME!! BUY THEM!! And then, stack it with an EP500, or dual EP500's! You'll for sure anger your neighbors!

These speakers are something incredible. They re much better than many more expensive speakers in the market.
Pros:
* Clear sound, powerful, with good definition.
* You can set the speaker volume independently.
* Remote Control.
* 5.1 + RCA inputs + Auxiliar input (Left and Right)
* The speakers do not distort.
* A powerful subwoofer with very good low.
Cons:

* Short cord (the cable from the speakers left, right and center are not more than 5 feet and the back of no more than 7').
* Does not have Coaxial or Optical input for receiving a digital signal.

This is an excellent speakers systems. I have it installed on a 28 mts2 family room and the sound is really big. The subwoofer make vibrate the glass accessories of the room. It has more quality than many of the most expensive equipment on the market. Now, I have to buy a signal converter stereo to 5.1 surround to get you maximum advantage of this set of speakers

Anyone would think that a set of speakers with 18lbs (small speakers, small magnets) can not be so much quality but is the opposite. I recommend this product for its sound quality, power and clear sound.

These are probably the best speakers I've ever owned.

Granted, my primary speakers for the past 5 years have been laptop speakers. But still, they're definitely worth $40.

I purchased two of these Bass Inferno BI57 speaker sets about a month ago to replace my stock speakers in my '94 Ford Explorer. These speakers blew me away for the price! They are very easy to install, they sound crystal clear, even at very low and very high frequencies. Additionally, as their name would describe, they have very good bass consistency and producing the low sounds does not distort the other sounds. The fact that it is a 4-way speaker, meaning two tweeters (for high sounds), a mid-range speaker, and a woofer (for low sounds), mean little distortion at all if having to serve sound across a large frequency range (such as low and high sounds altogether). Overall, the speakers are an incredible value and I would recommend them to anyone on a lower budget without hesitation.

Got these on a deal on Amazon for only $60 each.  These are the best sounding speakers I own now.  I didn't think they would be THIS good when I received them because they are a little smaller in size than I thought they would be.  To my surprise, these are amazing. At their regular price of $120 each, they are STILL very much worth the price.  I wish I had purchased 2 more for my office.
