Personally I use these as outdoor speakers for just me and the Misses. It's great because the volume can get relatively significant for us sitting in the path of the speakers, but if I walk to the left or right of my yard the sound volume drops significantly. That's good if you don't want to annoy your neighbors. Not so good if you are the type who wants the neighborhood to feel your vibes.Not to say you're neighbors won't hear them, they can play decently loud.
Regarding sound quality, it's very good, relatively speaking. It's a warmer non-fatiguing sound that is clean and enjoyable. It's also forgiving for lower quality source material. For the record I don't use the bluetooth and plug my phone directly into the speakers for the best sound and I use Youtube music. So they will sound even better with high res such as tidal.
Overall definitely a good bang for the buck.

I purchased these and was really pretty pleased with the sound. I then got a pair of JBL 305s because they were used, like new on Amazon for $75/each. This was my first interaction with studio monitors. (And also why I didn't realize at first I needed more cables and a DAC, so $150 total turned into $250 quickly).
Massive difference. Not good or bad, per se - different for sure. The Edifiers have the low end punch you'd expect, the kind you can feel. Controls on the side are super helpful. I think if you're a casual music listener, you'll be thrilled with this set. Particularly for a PC.
The studios just can present so much "more". The middle is just more present and you can hear things these won't give you. On THE downside (for some) - you don't get the thump. The lows are clearly represented but bass is not "punchy".
I share all of this just because it was my recent adventure into " hi fi" and hope it helps someone else. I know it's slightly off topic, but would've been helpful for me to see on the last deal. I decided to keep the JBLs but they're a lot more effort (and effectively 2x the cost, even used).

I dislike the the remote range as it wont work if you dont point it directly
Ah-I see a "left out" for speaker wire to connect to other speaker.
Edit: I just saw the post above about a weak sub out signal. If you're looking for a powered speaker pair with a subwoofer connection, you might want to look elsewhere.
