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.

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.
I doubt it. They are equally $30-$50 used on FBM or CL and the better versions. Check there.
I use them on my tv. Pretty good but have to keep the sub down or it goes nuts... very sensitive and as I've experienced about 1/4 is good enough to max it out and the extra 3/4 does about nothing..

Thanks for the tip.
Can you control the volume with the echo device or phone?

I bought these last time they were 60$. The power button started dimming randomly and then they just stopped working. I put on my 8 year old Logitech z623's while I was waiting for my replacements in the mail. The replacements are still sitting in the box because my Logitech's sound better, namely the subwoofer.
