Featured Comments

I have had these for about 5 years (Well... 6 yrs in September).

This is, imo, a good price for the set.

Pros:
Good sound out of the box
Good build quality
As mentioned, probably some of the better "pc speakers" out there in this or any price range, really (without a discrete amp/ bookshelf combo)
Bluetooth
Physical tone controls
Remote
Plays well with any decent preamp (I have mine hooked up to a JDS Atom that I wasn't using any more.... so I have a physical volume control in front of me and... to my ear, it tightens up the transient response of the speakers)

Cons:
Remote has sort of limited range (needs line of sight too) so depending on how you have things set up it may be more of a frustration than a boon
The tone controls are digital (the pots spin eternally, though they have a built in limit on how far you can go)
The bass tone control is sort of useless beyond maybe a 10% increase (the tone controls go from -6 to +6db... you can maybe go to +1db before there is some clipping at room-level volumes... with that said these are a warm-natural leaning set... there is a good deal of bass punch to the sound +/-0)

Some vibration at higher volumes (not internal, but external... they can get loud enough to make them dance a bit on a hard flat surface), I put them on foam speaker wedges to solve this.

I would recommend them without a second thought. TU.



Couldn't really tell you if there is a power consumption concern (I don't know how worried you are about this, that's a pretty personal preference issue, and not one that I really concern myself with for small electronics), but there is no heat concern (they produce none)

The simple answer is yes, they will auto sync with your Mac (on wake) if it was the last thing connected via bt, as long as nothing else has been synced with it as well (and was currently running an unpaired, open bt connection when you slept the mac).

The set cannot multipoint, so if you have your phone connected, connecting your mac will disconnect your phone and vice versa... if you have both synced and bt constantly running on both devices... sleeping one device will cause the other to find the open connection and sync to it. Does that make sense? In that example, once you woke your mac, if the speakers had connected to your phone you would simply have to select the speakers from your list of remembered bt devices on your mac.
Lol right. It's one of those kinds of comments that doesn't even warrant a reply really. I have a bunch of JBL bt speakers in this house (a charge 5, go 3, and a few clips.... every family member has one at their disposal for whatever use.... I keep my clip hanging in the shower lol)... even if they were aimed at the pc market... claiming they're louder or clearer that really any decent bookshelf setup is laughable.

They're loud for their size, and they're pushing some amazing fun low end.... but as you said it's not even a comparison.

Bought these a couple weeks ago at the same deal price, they're awesome for computer speakers. I considered waiting for the BTs model with sub out, but it's definitely not necessary.

Do you know if you can leave these always on? Will they automatically sync after a Mac sleeps or is turned back on? Any concern with heat or power consumption?

Jbl charge is better and louder and clearer than these.

Both have Bluetooth so they are obviously comparable options?

You are talking about two drastically different products...

I just put these in our vacation rental and they sound great!

What is amazing to me is the Bluetooth range. I walked all over the house 2 floors away and outside on the decks and it was still connected and playing.

Pretty great speakers for the cash.

I am concerned that the remote will disappear but the are $10 bucks from Edifier.

They also have grills.

Is it reasonable to expect HDMI ARC for a product like this at a price like this?
