" ... I got them for my office at work and they sound and look incredible! ... "
" ... I can hear things in the music I listen to that I can honestly say I never knew was there before. ... "
" ... Great Look, Great Sound. ... "
" ... These look COOL, sound great, and add a little boom to desktop music. ... "
" ... Holy Cow, I can hear all the instruments as they're meant to be heard, LOVE these speakers! ... "
" ... Way louder than anticipated with a great clarity and and a very impressive sub woofer that I keep on maybe half way. ... "
" ... I love this sounds system, and it looks great in my shelve. ... "

" ... These speakers rock! ... "
" ... The not only carry the bass well and does not over due it, but all the mid range and high tones come thru with perfect clarity. ... "
" ... Had a JBL Duet set that sound pretty good but I wanted some bass. ... "
" ... Way louder than anticipated with a great clarity and and a very impressive sub woofer that I keep on maybe half way. ... "
" ... I think the mid-range is par for the course. ... The sub-woofer is surprisingly tight considering the ported enclosure and definitely has good presence for being such a small driver. ... "
" ... -I am a bass person and this unit doesn't disappoint me. ... I can here what Lady Gaga is singing and enjoying the deep bass at the same time. ... The sound quality and the bass quality is well balanced and as a bass lover I can tell you this DOES THE JOB. ... "
" ... And I've never owned a subwoofer before. ... "
" ... -- Woofer really needs some sort of better base, or optional weight at bottom. ... "

" ... I got them for my office at work and they sound and look incredible! ... "
" ... Slick industrial design. ... Acrylic plastic looks good but results in the subwoofer sounding like it's in a barrel. ... This design can't because it will ruin the transparent industrial design aesthetic. ... "
" ... Beautiful non obtrusive speakers! ... "
" ... Don't let the looks fool you. ... "
" ... The design and looks of the item is fantastic! ... "
" ... If you love the design like me and want to persuade your wife that, this is a decoration, an enhancement to the house instead of a speaker for your own gaming/movie hobby. ... Look no further and buy it. ... Look at the design, are you really want to move on from this? ... "
" ... The light looks cool but it cannot be turned off. ... "
" ... The blue light inside the dome is a pretty cool feature, and the stands are not an attrocious thing to look at like most speakers. ... "

" ... This is one of the worst things that I have bought from Amazon before in my life. ... I left the speakers in my room for a few months before unpacking them and I started setting them up today and they don't work. ... "
" ... This item was great until a few months passed by then it completely stopped working. ... "

" ... Way louder than anticipated with a great clarity and and a very impressive sub woofer that I keep on maybe half way. ... "
" ... It will not light up a concert hall ... "
" ... And that's where these speakers really shine and why I would call the Soundsticks the best 2.1 system - average listening at regular volume. ... "
" ... The sound from these speakers is amazing clear and the volume level can get very loud. ... "
" ... Even at high volume, they sound warm and nice. ... You can adjust sub-output--which is great if you live in an apartment. ... "
" ... That means if you are happy with the woofer volume, then have to change it for one audio piece, the only way to get back to where you were for global settings is to mark both the knob (with silver or white) and the woofer (black or whatever) Sharpie. ... The woofer lights up when it's on, but if it's on a shelf under your desk, as mine is, the only way to tell if the system's on or off is to pull out my chair and look. ... "
" ... They are loud and clear! ... "
" ... They have a lot of volume and are very clear. ... "

" ... Amazing quality and sound for the money! ... "
" ... Not quite perfect, but a very good sounding set of speakers for the cost. ... "
" ... I think, though the price is slightly steep, they are well worth it. ... "
" ... I do expect a good quality from speakers in this price range. ... "
" ... Of course my Klipsch felt sturdier - they also weighed a ton more and were twice the price. ... "
" ... Money is no issue in my world of electronics, i totally dig quality and spent the money for these with total regret ... "
" ... For the price I don't think you could buy speakers any better. ... "
" ... Best looking, best quality speakers you can find. ... "

" ... These speakers rock! ... "
" ... I love these speakers however the first set I got developed a crack in the woofer housing. ... "
" ... I could tell the quality when I picked them up out of the box and felt how heavy they were compare to the ones I bought and had to return that were only 50 dollar speakers with sub that lit up green. ... "
" ... Additionally the wiring has been improved with a clear rubbery insulation over a silvery braid. ... The clear plastic portions are very thick and sturdy. ... "
" ... These have beefed up wires that feel much sturdier. ... "
" ... They come with some really sturdy cords as well. ... "
" ... These beat the pants off my old speakers. ... "
" ... The little legs are cute, but the whole thing is incredibly lightweight (a plus and a minus) and tips over easily. ... They feel reasonably durable to me, given their looks. ... Of course my Klipsch felt sturdier - they also weighed a ton more and were twice the price. ... "
