Best Speakers

I'm sorry to all those uninitiated people writing these "reviews" of the Logitech systems. Logitech make about the worst, muffled, shabby and… Read more

terrible speakers I've ever heard. The Z623 sounds muffled, inaccurate, terrible. It sound like it is encased in concrete, and all I can say is if any of these reviewers heard the Neumann KH-120 mkii Studio Monitors back-to-back with the Logitechs then they'd know what I am talking about. Or even just a little Audioengine A2+.

The ONLY thing these speakers have is a big subwoofer that produced (relatively) deep bass, that is the only thing they have going for them and the 2 stars is for the sub, not the satellites.

Heck, these speakers do not even have tweeters! The treble is grossly over-EQ'ed, and sounds dreadful.

The problem is these reviewed have no idea, and are used to $35 plastic computer speaker boxes or other cheap rubbish. They just hear how deep and extended the bass goes, and on that alone, decide these sound great. They do NOT. One dead give away these reviewers have no qualifications: There is no such thing as "THX certified speakers" at all - that is just a marketing ploy and means nothing objectively in the world of analogue and digital electronics and acoustics. Every aspect (bar the sub's large cone) of these Logitech speakers is wrong, horrible, and results in terrible sound, which is also so muffled that we can't hear it's full putrid expression. How anyone thinks these are "crystal clear" is beyond me.

Granted, these are very cheap speakers, and you get a sub for the price, but still so sickly that I would not touch them. Look elsewhere, even if you have to spend more money.

Buyer beware.

VAF DC-X Original Kit – I bought the VAF DC-X 20 years ago as a kit (time goes FAST). For a few years after a move they sat in my garage and where even damaged … Read more

(isolated rips in the rubber surrounds in the drivers ). I bought a set a Jamo's and also had a good quality computer audio system setup and used those in the years the VAFs where in storage. I thought they sounded good, until I recently pulled the VAF's out and wired them up, bi amped to my Denon. You don't realise what you are missing with audio .. until you do. I've gone from cardboard under water to crystal mid - highs and deep round bass, I can hear the tone of the bass amp used in the recordings. I am planning to get the speakers refurbished but even as they are after 20 years I am very happy. There is so much cheap crap around and you tend to just get use to it. In some ways we are going backwards accepting the quality of cheap crappy stuff.

Sound fades in and out – As identified by other reviewers, the speakers work well initially, then the sound starts to cut/fade in and out. This is beyond annoying - it makes… Read more

the speakers unusable and I have since replaced them with a cheaper set of Logitech speakers. This happened after about 10 months for the first set and I contacted customer care who replaced the speakers. That process was good. However, the second set did exactly the same after 2 months. I went through *all* of the trouble shooting tips (different power source, different computers, trialing different speakers etc). My previous Bose Companion speakers (from the 90s) worked perfectly. This is a dud product. And for a company does one thing (sound), I'm amazed that they haven't fixed this well-known issue with the product (check out reviews on the Bose Australia website as well).

Can’t thank Bose enough for discontinuing service for their SoundTouch system - I now have a house full of Bose speakers - that won’t sync with just about anything! Show details

Must hear – Hi About 12-18 months ago I was lucky enough to be able to buy 3 pairs of these Krix Neuphonix mk2 speakers for my 7.2 surround and not had a second… Read more

thought about them they sound excellent while listening to music and with movie sound tracks. Best money I’ve ever spent. Personally I think these speakers make remastered older music almost sound like it’s new These speakers I think are what I would call balanced, not sharp on the ears and not dull But a full range the sound quality is awesome of course it all on the source files your playing content from, I also have an epicentrix centre speaker and the vocal quality is absolutely amazing I can’t turn it up super loud it’s all being run by a Yamaha RXA3070 pre amp I’m thinking about an 7 channel Elektra power To feed them. If you have a good budget and are able to get a pair you will not regret it.

Good for the price – Firstly the 5 stars is based on a purchase price of $128. The speakers are a very competent set of bookshelf speakers. Decent mids; but treble isn’t… Read more

crisp and bass isn’t deep enough to replace a small sub.

Because of the internal equaliser this speaker doesn’t suit any studio work as it will not play raw sound. This internal equaliser suits newer music like pop/rnb/electro more than classical and classic rock etc.

Will be loud enough to use in a small room but not likely for a house party.

Apple must be cutting corners and not putting in the research and development into them. They answer when they shouldn't, they don't understand half the requests you say . An expensive paperweight in 2026

Dolby Atmos is awesome. Quality is so good I now want to add another Era 300, Arc Ultra Soundbar and the sub woofer to make a complete surround system. When I win the lotto of course….Sonos is pricey, but worth it for the sound quality alone!

Awesome speakers – Originally purchased these speakers & was running as front speakers part of an existing 7.2 Onkyo system, they sounded good with strong bass but felt… Read more

underpowered so later upgraded to a 9.2 Yamaha system with bi-amp / bi-wire feature, connected as normally first they sounded great so much better then decided to set up via bi-amp / bi-wire to see the difference & the speakers came alive with noticeably more bass, but also mid & highs which were much more obvious, my home theatre setup is now complete & has that punch it was missing, totally wrapped. I don’t claim to be an audio expert, but I think some people purchase based on price or name thinking higher price always means better sound or quality, well I purchased these for under $500 & sound better then some speakers I’ve brought costing 5 times the price. Definitely exceed my expectations.

other, every time I try to switch I end up having to log out from the app, reinstall and start the setup all over again. I don't bother any more the app has made my Sonos systems a complete waste of time and money and so frustrating to use.

Excellent crisp sound – I use this up on a river outdoors and it rocks....highly recommend Doesnt distort and its easy to connect to wifi via the b&w app Thinking i need another one for home  Show details

Good value for money – I bought the pair of speakers in white colour more than a year ago and it still works great. The Bluetooth connection could be a bit weak if you are… Read more

far from the speakers but you could have the cord connection option.

The bass is not too robust so if you prefer strong bass, you may need to get an operate subwoofer to reinforce the bass.

All in all it is a good pair of desktop speakers good for music and computers.

The set up may be a bit of a process at the beginning but the picture for this review should be able to help.

Great subwoofer and excellent port – Firstly, I had a Sony MUTEKI 2012W setup and ended up wanting better because everyone know of HTIB (home theatre in a box) not being the greatest. I… Read more

ended up looking around and eventually decided that I wanted my own personal little setup to start from scratch. I had 2 no name cheap speakers (phantom centre speaker) which never worked properly cause the amp back then didn't support more then half of the effect that it was supposed to cause it was so old,, but I found a YST-RSW300 that I ended up getting given at work. Plugged it up and it worked but would flutter from behind the driver at a certain frequency. It would sound phenomenonal on the Fallout 4 start up menu (although being an absolutely horrible game), have deep bass, would have wicked impact and would be really responsive. Although how great it sounded, I eventually got sick of hearing the flutter, which broke immersion in games and movies. I eventually got a Klipsch R52c centre speaker for the vocals, just about 2-3 weeks ago I got the R51M bookshelf speakers until I can get the R820-F for the mains and move the bookshelf speakers to the rear. So I eventually decided to see if there were other ones or even newer ones. Which ended up me finding the NS-SW300,, the result was instantly noticed. I didn't use it too loud and I still don't really use it too loud just yet (being that I've had it for well over a year. I did use the Mono input to start off with but realised that the LFE plug over rides the Mono and frequency dial. And it sounds good, real good. The bass is tremendous, the Fallout 4 menu again sounds deep and impactful. It responds really quickly, the depth of bass that comes out isn't too boomy or over the top. I ended up having yo turn the gain down from half way to about a third of the way up. Having the port on the right side of the cabinet means that you can use the entire room or the wall to extend the bass. I have since purchased a second subwoofer of the exact same. It doesn't really need it because the way I have them yet up is via a gold plated 5m long Y-plug feeding from my single subwoofer pre-out Yamaha RX385V. Not a bad amp but at the time I was limited with the moolah. I can have either subwoofer on while playing video games or movies. And which ever one I do use is in the perfect spot. But if I use both at the same time then although it doesn't get overly explosive or Michael Bay(esq) it gives the illusion of more bass (defined by the 3+dB thanks to the two) I was hesitant to buying a subwoofer because in the past I did buy a Klipsch RS100 which stopped for some reason not even 6 months of buying it and it upset me because it cost so much and I thought that it sounded good. And there's no fuse like all the other ones to be able to replace,, so straight over the shoulder that went and in came the Yamaha NS-SW300 and so glad that I did end up coming down to this one. She enforces power down pact, the rattle of my entire bedroom and the loose things around the house can confirm that. My neighbours even hear it, not from how loud or over the top it is, but by how low and deep it reaches. The port of this design makes you realise that even though it's a compact size, you'll defiantly get more then enough bang for your buck. Realistically, if you want a subwoofer that has great response and that reaches lower then what your soul does going down to hell then this is definitely something for you. It's small and compact and I even have it in a small (but fully open on all sides) glass cabinet and it couldn't be any better. The bass hits exactly where we sit and even all around the room. Because it fires so rapidly and precisely, there can't really be a better subwoofer at this size for the same price. This has one finished on the top of a lot of lists regarding it's size and output and just as an overall item. Hopefully you read this novel (if anyone did) and made your mind up about this monstrous machine of a subwoofer.

great sound from small speakers – The sound from these speakers is way better than you would expect from something that plugs into a PC. They sound better than the small Logitech 2:1… Read more

system with external power I used previously, as although there is less bass response the Pebbles have better balance overall. On the first few listens they had a slightly 'processed' sound, but I don't notice that anymore. They can not match a proper stereo system, but I often find myself using them at the computer because they are so convenient and the sound is more than good enough. I expect the only way to get better sound from something that sits on your desk is through good quality headphones.

The USB plug set up is great advantage. They switch on/off when you switch on/off your PC and no mucking around trying to connect (and reconnect) a bluetooth speaker. They also have a stereoscopic effect which most Bluetooth speakers seem to loose by putting bother speakers in the same body.

The only disadvantage is they are hard to buy. Mine came from a lucky 2nd hand sale, but could not find them locally for sale new. The cables could be a bit longer as well.

Edifier S3000pro speakers...wow – Well, now I know the specs say it goes down to 38hz...cool story Edifier, got me...they actually go down to 23hz! Audible! I know that sounds… Read more

ridiculous, and honestly, the sound out of the box is good, the best DSP mode is Dynamic, and second is Vocal...look, all in all, if you want high quality speakers, I think these are your best bet at getting real sound to your ears. Just buy them, you won't regret it. I have them hooked up to my computer through USB, and they have been running now for 2 weeks without any problems what so ever. I did EQ them a good amount, but it's all pretty much room noise. JUST, BUY THEM. DO IT!

Excellent for smaller rooms – Bought this for my study and added a separate speaker for the verandah. The MusicCast software is a bit harder to set up, but once finished it's… Read more

great. I think the sound is very good for my 20m2 study. I like the flexibility of sources like Bluetooth, internet radio, home network, and the fact you can play the same or different music on the main unit and the extra speaker.

amp simply wouldn't fit.

After much researching... This freakin little 2.1 getup, at literally 1/20th the cost of my big boy mains, subs & hybrid amp, is doing a simply brilliant job. Clear highs, fresh mids, tasty lows (yes, good drum!). It's beautifully finished too. I don't know what i'm going to do with that stereo gear, but for now i'm happy. Forget soundbars, this Edifier kit is ridiculous value for money & sound.

Without doubt, based on my experiences, you will feel the bass is lacking if they are placed to far from the wall.
