" ... I’ve had my speakers for about 8 days now. ... Makes my lap top sound like a high dollar stereo ... I would recommend these speakers. ... "
" ... These speakers sound really good. ... I've always been happy with my Bose but I didn't realize how much better these Yamaha speakers could be! ... They've set the new standard quality sound in our household. ... "
" ... The sound the two make are almost identical, but the Yamaha is more full sounding. ... Plus the actual feel of the speakers/knob is just better. ... "
" ... The sound is very good compared to two previous computer speakers I had purchased. ... "
" ... Like the sound quality with just about the right amount of bass for me well made sturdy, look good, quality seems outstanding . ... "
" ... Sound is highly subjective so I won't go into great detail here. ... What I will say is that despite the single small cone in each enclosure (the top portion is actually just for porting), the sound is quite detailed and doesn't suffer from artificial boosting. ... Instead, the sound naturally tapers off and clarity is retained in the mids and highs. ... If you want speakers that will thump and let you "feel" explosions, go buy a 2.1 system. ... No cheesy cloth speaker grilles and the button + dial both operate smoothly. ... I ultimately returned these to get something with larger cones (read: more bass). ... Yamaha has prioritized a clean and accurate sound over fake bass extension. ... "
" ... What I mean by the Yamaha being "fuller" than the Bose is that I felt like I could hear everything in a punchy, full, soundwall from the Yamaha (including the noise). ... I think Bose might suppress some frequencies in order to enhance its clean, clear sound. ... But if I'm not listening to them back-to-back, the Bose sound nice (if not very loud). ... When you listen to these (the Yamaha) by themselves, they sound old-school distorted. ... It's like they were trying to design these for maximum punch at the price of clarity . ... "
" ... I considered buying some higher priced speakers such as the Bose, but after reading online reviews these speakers kept coming up as "as good" or better for the money. ... "

" ... These hit high’s and mid’s exquisitely, and bass just right. ... "
" ... I ultimately returned these to get something with larger cones (read: more bass). ... Yamaha has prioritized a clean and accurate sound over fake bass extension. ... "
" ... Detailed and enough bass without sounding manufactured or lumpy. ... "
" ... Amazing sound well balanced with just the right amount of base. ... "
" ... Like the sound quality with just about the right amount of bass for me well made sturdy, look good, quality seems outstanding . ... "
" ... However the sound is crisp and they do produce a nice base sound. ... "
" ... When adjusting the eq on other programs, the bass capacity can be exceeded at relatively low volumes. ... I have an older bluetooth Logitech boombox and initially I thought the clarity was equivalent and bass was better pronounced. ... "

" ... They're extremely clear and balanced, even at high volume. ... "
" ... For a speaker that does not include a sub it's perfect sounds is nice. ... "
" ... great sound quality and loud without distortion ... "
" ... Yamaha is very good at this type of speaker- fills whole house with sound fo a bit over $100, pretty amazing value. ... "
" ... For near-field listening, meaning desktop/laptop computers, you'll find they're still loud enough even at half power. ... "
" ... At last I can hear what is being said. ... "
