Accurate, Articulate Sound

    These have less noise than similarly priced monitors like the JBL LSR305 MkII and the rest of that series. Second, while these can get loud, they are also really excellent at fine detail and soundstage and have a huge range of dynamics. They are excellent with jazz, classical too.

  • Excellent sound quality, features, with a major flaw

    Sound quality is good. Being able to change settings, including equalizer settings, with my cell phone is an excellent feature. Bluetooth pairing and connection are easy to set up and stable. The speakers feature XLR & TRS analog inputs. What I didn't like: (1) The speakers don't go into standby mode, and I have to power off each speaker individually. (2) Speakers tend to make random extremely loud static sound which can only be described as a small explosion and made me duck when it happened first time. I actually went outside to make sure a meteorite didn't crash through the roof of my house. This mini explosion is more powerful than any 1000-watt speaker, which is quite an achievement for a 100-watt speaker. Consider this a courtesy public alert and be prepared to duck occasionally when the capacitor in one of your speakers decides to discharge without a proper warning.

    I'm using them for sound output for practicing playing guitar and computer gaming. They are loud and sound great. There are three different sound profiles selectable by the front left button, one of them being a custom sound profile you set by using the app. The app has 9 presets or you can use the fully customizable equalizer. Once you link two speakers together, changing the sound profile either by left button or the app changes it for both speakers. Sound coming from the linked speakers only works when connecting your sound source from a BT device. A hard wire connection into a sound interface will still require each speaker to be hard wired, one for left channel and the other for the right channel.
