I have two sets of these and they're great. If you have an echo Dot lying around, use the 3.5 mm jack to turn these into Bluetooth capable speakers. I keep the dot on mute and just send it there for my music and it works great.
I've had mine for about 3-4 months. Awesome speakers. Use some black electrical tape to cover up the bright light. Don't mess with the volume knob once set. Use the pc or other device to control the volume. Keep the speaker wires from touching other wires to reduce any interference. People say the quality has gone down over the years. IMO, as long as you do some prepping, it is hard to find a better value for speakers today.
Edit: Forgot to add. My speakers are plugged into an Alexa smart plug so it is easy to turn on and off. I have it synced to be able to turn on and off with my PC monitor although sometimes I am too lazy to even talk and wish there was just a button. lol
I had issues with hum. Found it to be the power supply for my uplift desk causing interference. I moved the control pod to the opposite speaker and that 3 foot distance change decreased the hum drastically.

i'd get another set if mine hadn't lasted me over 20 years to this day. had to replace the user replaceable fuse in the back for the first time this year.
Bought these several months ago to use as PC speakers. These are amazing! The bass is pretty nice for what it is. I never use these speakers at max volume. I'd say with my PC at 70, I always keep the knob on the speaker around 50-70 pending on what I'm listening to. Pair this with a good sound card and you are good to go! The only thing I don't like is that it doesn't have a switch to turn on and off so until I get a plug with a switch, that's what I have to do. That white light can be annoying pending where you place the speaker.
I got these a few months ago when some place had them for like $60. After hearing the sound they put out, I'd gladly pay full price if they ever failed me. They get very loud and still sound awesome. You can barely tap the volume knob and it will get quite a bit louder. I have the sub and the volume around a quarter of the way up and it's all I need while sitting at my desk.
Because there's no power button on these speakers, I use a wifi outlet from urlhasbeenblocked (but any will work) for this so I'm able to turn it off. Only thing is the speakers will 'pop' and it doesn't sound very pleasing every time I turn it off….So I just leave them on lol.
If you leave it on, it consumes $10 electricity every year.
How do these compare to 200 watt equivalent Logitech 2.1 THX certified computer speakers?
The Klipsch are true two way satellites with a horn tweeter. I think the Logitech are one way full range. Logitech used to make a Z Cinema 2.1 that was better than anything else, but discontinued it. Was a $299 system and went on clearance for $99 years ago. I still have it and 2 sets of the Pro Media. Both excellent, but the Z Cinema wins out for sound quality and never distorts. For $80 this is almost impossible to beat.

Thanks for the informative feedback! in your opinion, any chance this will go back down lower like before? just deciding whether to buy something I don't need but want at $80 or wait till it drops back down to ~$60 and then pull the trigger.
