These speakers look nice. They sound great. The powered speakers give the volume that I couldn’t find in other computer speakers.

The sound is very loud and it doesn’t compromise with the sound quality. Totally worth spending money.

I first acquired a pair of these to add high quality sound to my desktop, then bought a set for a friend. Although my listening area system is adjacent in the same room, I find the convenience and location of small monitors to be more useful when just doing deskwork. These speakers are perfect for small areas, with mine spaced five feet apart and three feet from my chair. The price point makes them competitive with other brands in the $100 range.

Esta nueva versión de las bocinas suena mucho mejor. A pesar de su tamaño tienen una muy buena reproducción de graves. Tengo tambien las CR-5bt y me parece que las CR3-Xbt están más equilibradas en todos los tonos. Inclusive me parece también que reproducen mucho mejor los tonos bajos.

I have a recording studio for my voice over work and these are perfectly fine. I've heard criticisms that the bass is a bit weak. Is that because we have been taught in the last decade that unless you're almost damaging your ears with bass that your speakers have weak bass? I found the bass to be acceptable and in general, even with music, these sound pretty good to my ears. But, they are not Genelec monitors and don't claim to be.The one issue I had with these was that I could not pair them to my iPhone through Bluetooth. It turns out that was my fault, or you could look at it as bad design.The instructions tell you to hold down the Bluetooth button until it starts blinking green. Unfortunately if you just press the button without holding it, the light blinks green anyway. Even though the blinking green looks exactly the same, you are not actually pairing. I did not know this.I chatted with Mackie, and they couldn't tell me that I was doing it wrong. So they told me that my pair of monitors must be defective and that Amazon should replace them.I got a new set. I still couldn't pair them. Not believing the two sets would be bad, by chance, I decided to hold the button down. After several seconds, the same green circular light blinked, but this time the speakers showed up on my iPhone.I had already packed up the first set so I couldn't tell if the first set was bad, but I have a feeling the first set was perfectly fine.Maybe I'm the only one who experienced this, but you really have to follow the instructions to a T and hold that button down, not just push it and release it.

I purchased these for my son who is starting to get into making YouTube content. The 3 inch drivers produce a good amount of bass/mid bass and sound like they are -3-5DB below 45-50hz. Jthis could easily be fixed with a subwoofer if you need flat response down to the low end of the spectrum. The tweeter are very mellow and not fatiguing to listen to like metal tweeters. They get very loud for their size! I have a pair of KRK Rokit 6s on my desk that sound very similar at almost double the size! I was very impressed with all the input options and only needing to run power to one speaker. There is also a switch that allows for the powered speaker to be on the left or the right. Bluetooth is easy to setup and can be “mixed” with RCA/ 1/4 inch wired inputs. An amazing value that might drive me to get a pair for the workout room!Highs:Small form factor for studio monitorsPower cable to a single sideSupport for RCA, 1/4, Bluetooth and headphoneGreat sound qualityBuilt in volume knob no need for an external mixer

Great quality Bluetooth doesn’t seem to work on mine, but I didn’t intend to use them with Bluetooth. Good size and doesn’t take up too much space. I use them with focusrite solo interface and works just fine. I will get the larger ones when I am ready.

as with many audio components offered to you these days, your purchase with something relatively affordable is a throw of the dice. manufacturers seem to be more interested in the "receiving money" part of business rather than the "providing quality" part. if I pay close to $100, I should not have to worry about receiving something that at least "works". these speakers cut in and out at low volume input. that makes them useless for any type of DAW mixing or editing. that also, shouldn't be happening. otherwise they have a relatively flat response and the Bluetooth connectivity is pretty good.

Excellent speakers. The only thing is I wish my phone would automatically connect to the speaker's bluetooth instead of me having to always trigger the connection. I'm sure there's a setting for that somewhere. Besides that, this is an excellent speaker, the bass & treble are perfectly in balance.
