  • Summary: sooo glad I bought these!
  • Comment: I stalked these speakers for a long time, reading reviews and research. Finally I broke down and bought them. I'm very impressed by the sound quality! Very clear, with great bass that is easily adjustable(depending on where you put your sub I suppose). The touch controls on one of the speaker sticks works flawlessly. My only wish is that there was a visual of where the volume level is. Besides that, the design is gorgeous! I love having them on my desk. Cables (one per speaker) run directly to the sub, cutting down on desktop clutter. The blue led in the subwoofer wasn't nearly as bright as I expected, giving it a pleasant appearance without needing to be unplugged at night so I can sleep. For the price range these speakers are great, they fill my small apartment bedroom with sound.

  • Summary: Best Decision on Computer Speakers
  • Comment: I love House music, Techno, Hip-Hop, etc. songs with lots of bass and that I like to play loudly. These speakers look cool (the subwoofer almost resembles a jellyfish) and the sound quality is sick. Of course, it's probably not the same as a huge Bose system, but keeping in mind that I am purchasing these mostly for desk use, as well as occasional at-home pregames, I couldn't ask for anything more. These sound MUCH better than the computer speakers owned by friends of mine.
    You will not be disappointed.

  • Summary: decorative and versatile
  • Comment: The sticks are hanging upsidedown from their donut shaped bases in the corners of my RV. They are slim and attractive as wall corner decorations. They would be even better if there were a way to remove the donuts and hang them by built-in hooks or something.

    In my small space the volume is fine. The subwoofer is a bit overpowering, so I have it turned below average volume. The soundstick controls take a little practice. I didn't realize they work just by being touched. Nice.

    Perfection would be a remote control that can access both the sticks and the subwoofer, but I bought them knowing they don't have even a wired remote. The PC, Kindle, MP3 player, and TV with which I'm using them have their own volume controls, so this wasn't a deal breaker.

    In summary, I'm delighted with this purchase.

  • Summary: Nice sound but...
  • Comment: Great sound, it could go a little louder. Unfortunately it has its downs; The on-off switch (for some stupid reason) is at the bottom of the BACK of the sub woofer. The sub woofer is also too big!Also the satellite speakers don't light up like the sub woofer, ??

    Don't know why they decided to put on-off switch and lights on a part of the unit that is supposed to be down on the floor and out of the way??!!
