  • Maybe the best $80 I've ever spent.
I mean I don’t want to annoy my wife; as I think I also spent $80 on our first date, but this is a close toss-up. I’ve had these speakers awhile now, probably 18 months. I was just turning 50 and I said, “time for some me-time.” I could have purchased a new Trans Am like my idiot coworker…God, what a nut case. I settled in for a new gamming PC setup with Case, CPU, GPU, Monitor, standing desk, shelves, and cabinets. You know…the Trans Am is starting to look like the better purchase. Anyhow, I never thought about computer speakers until after I got everything setup some months later. I had a set of PC speakers that came free with a previous system that were about 4” tall. They did their job for a while, but everything on the new desk was new except for the speakers. It was time for an upgrade. So, I spent a couple of weeks looking at different solutions and budgets. Soundbar? 5.1? Bookshelf? I decided to go with active powered monitors. There might be 1000 different brands and models to sort though. Search for active powered speakers or near filed monitors and call me back in three months and I will release you from your curse. After a while I just gave up and said, “maybe the R980T is all I need.” It’s a small office. Our son sleeps on the other side of the wall. But no man! I’m fifty…I deserve the Klipsch’s The Fives for $500, right. Holy snot AF. These R980Ts are straight up amazing. I’m in a 10x10 office. None of my other sound systems in the living room or master bedroom are as enjoyable as these $80 wonders. Yes, they are positioned three feet away from me. And now they are sitting on some HumanCentric Desktop Speaker Stands Wedges for another $25 that make these even more immersive. Gamming and watching YouTube or any streaming service sounds better than any of my other solutions. And, just like the PC, I spent a lot of money in the other rooms. I’m not going to tell you that you can’t spend more for desktop speakers. I’ve never listened to The Fives. But after my wife, who works a very long hours and makes a lot of money, started looking in the office and questioning just where in fact all this stuff came from, well, it was time to go cheap. And I don’t regret it a bit. I can’t imagine anyone having a sonic need to spend more money on a speaker they’re gong to place on their desk. Maybe the $150 Edifiers are even more amazing. Maybe. Good luck getting that past the wife. ... show more

  • Fantastic!
These things make great music! Even with my poor hearing the quality of the audio produced is very much better than anything else I've tried lately. Piano notes are clean and crisp, guitars sound like they should, drums are even tighter and more accurate than I expected. These have a more refined sound than the old Logitech Z623 2.1 speakers that I listened to for several years before they finally failed me. The Logitechs did produce more powerful base but not more accuracy. I am quite pleased! ... show more

  • Forget the cheap and cheesy subwoofer systems, this is the way to go for computer speakers
After returning a crappy Cyber Acoustics system with a small subwoofer at $50, I bought these for $80 instead. What a world of difference! These sound fantastic, will go very loud without distortion, and the speakers are very well matched with the built in 12W RMS amplifier. I don't miss the subwoofer at all, these are good down to 70Hz. These are heavy and very deep (around 7"), so check the dimensions before buying. ... show more

  • Slightly better than Logitech up to the Z533 series or so
*Note: The terminals will take up to about 14ga wire. Not that it is needed for this low power near field set up. Just an FYI. And the cable that comes with is only about 18ga. So, these things are hard to nail down there is a lot of good and bad which for 60 bucks you have to keep in mind that real studio monitors or hifi speakers cost 6 times this much for the entry level usually. Also my review comes from a stand point of using them for computer desk speakers at work vs two other pre built 2.1 systems I have had in the past. If you are considering going this route and then maybe adding a powered sub vs a logitech or similar 2.1 system let me just say that if you aren't super concerned with a flatter presentation and medium better sound clarity, skip the hassle and get the Logitech Z625 instead. It is louder by itself, THX certified and comes with a sub so at 100 bucks you will save some money gain some volume and not have the headache. BUT... if you like clean music more than volume and bass these are an ok starting out point for a pair of powered speakers. Normally I would never buy the lowest end set of monitors a company offers but I needed some new sound for my work desk and I can't really listen to music at a billion decibels anyway so I went ahead and picked these up. I would compare them out of the box to a Logitech z333 system as far as bass level, volume and presentation of sound. They aren't much louder at 12w per side than the logitechs that are only 5 or 6w per side. The difference being though is these are powering a woofer and tweeter in both cabinets vs just one smaller all purpose woofer like logitech satellites. So they are sharing the power and that kind of makes sense. HOWEVER, unlike the logitech garbage, you get the entire range of volume with these. The logitech sets claim all this power etc in ads but when it comes to cranking it up to 11 you are going to get some significant distortion out of any logitech set. These are the opposite. You can crank these to 11 and run them all day and you wont get any distortion assuming there is no problems with your signal etc. AND the sound is much cleaner and much flatter of an EQ than logitech stuff. Now that doesn't mean these things are true monitors and really a flat EQ because they aren't. You can tell they have still been front loaded a little bit to make a subtle swoop into the range but... much flatter than other multimedia speakers made for computers under 100 bucks. Right now the better set of Edifier speakers is also under 100 bucks and if I wasn't trying to spend as little as possible I would have picked up the R1280T instead that is a no brainier those things are phenomenal speakers for their price point. The other positive about these speakers is, their amps are really under powered for what the cones can actually do. Some people would view this as a bad thing or like they are cutting corners or something but no, its them making sure you can crank your volume all the way up without getting distortion and making sure their product sounds good. A lot of companies do it. With that in mind if you have a tube preamp or DAC that you can feed into these things holy moly do they explode with volume. With a cheap pre amp these things go from bout the same level volume as a logitech z333 system to something i would expect to run at 40 or 50 watts rms just for the satellites. You can get some serious sound out of these speakers with the right add ons. Thats why for most people, they can get more bang for their buck out of a pre built 2.1 system but if you are like me and you dabble in audio, maybe you have a dac or pre amp or mixer or things like that laying around that you could experiment with these they can sound really good FOR THEIR PRICE. Never forget these things are 59 dollars right now. And just plan on adding a small sub. They are ok on low end but to get them there you have to put the bass up over neutral and I don't like that. Monoprice has a 8 in 60w powered sub for only 60 bucks right now. Well worth it to add to these and make a legit entry level 2.1 system. ... show more

  • Good but not great
Treble can come in tinny if too high,I can understand why a few other reviewers said this was terrible.However,they are not that bad,just keep your expectations in check and they will be dine.Other than that they are great.Pretty even,not bass heavy,balanced and good for movies and music. I think the model up is more well known and popular,I should have gotten that one. ... show more
