Over priced for what it is. Sound with a sub is excellent. On their own they sound like small computer speakers. They meld well with the Kanto sub which is sealed and 'tight'. There is actually a lot of 'hit' coming out of the 3" speaker which makes the system sound full range as you get the illusion that these little speakers are way bigger and responsive than they actually are. Speaking of which, these speakers are tiny, tiny... and cute. With a full 2.1 setup, sitting at your desk, the sound is really good-- REALLY GOOD. A cross between listening to a full stereo with the intimate closeness of headphones.

Big soundstage and sound. Surprisingly good bass, I got the Kanto Sub8 as well but tbh you don't really need the sub if you use them as desktop speakers.

I was looking for some PC speakers to listen to music and fit my gaming room. Was looking for some quality and I can say I'm very impress by the sound. You need to do some tweaking with and EQ program at first but the result is incredible !. I bought the Kanto Sub8. It's a must !

I have these plus the 8-inch woofer. My only negative would be that the controls are all on the back. Sound quality though is excellent.

As an audiophile, I love these little speakers. I don't want loud, but I do want clear. With my Spotify streaming set on Very High quality, these speakers are a delight. I particularly enjoy listening to relaxing jazz or lofi chill playlists on them. Additionally, I am pleased that they are a Canadian company, much like Fluance, another speaker company whose produces I really enjoy. Definite recommend!
