    I fell for these two small speakers to sound in a Mac Book and to enjoy a good sound quality in a small footprint.

    I tried (in store) a good twenty many system 2.1 and almost nothing holds the comparison in terms of sound quality at this price, some more bass but mid / high unflattering, while Bose Companion hold the road even at maximum, always with quality and stereo rendering very clean and accurate, it's pretty impressive.

    The sound is right, it is a little closer rendering monitor speakers, so no "boom boom" profusely, but sound quality on top, especially compared to the reduced size.
    Perhaps it would lack a control bass / treble to be perfect, which allow it to adjust the soun…

    I fell for these two small speakers to sound in a Mac Book and to enjoy a good sound quality in a small footprint.

    I tried (in store) a good twenty many system 2.1 and almost nothing holds the comparison in terms of sound quality at this price, some more bass but mid / high unflattering, while Bose Companion hold the road even at maximum, always with quality and stereo rendering very clean and accurate, it's pretty impressive.

    The sound is right, it is a little closer rendering monitor speakers, so no "boom boom" profusely, but sound quality on top, especially compared to the reduced size.
    Perhaps it would lack a control bass / treble to be perfect, which allow it to adjust the sound according to the source, but as this system is primarily dedicated to PC use it is easy to use internal equalizer settings.

    Another interesting point: the sound never spit, if you enter too strong there as a limiter / compressor loads to reduce everything to keep the cleanest possible sound, the bass tend to "slow down" to avoid saturate, so it is a system that will appreciate in the medium volume, although you can still not send a lot of volume anyway.

    Otherwise ... I launched into the power estimation, since no reference is made anywhere ... So after my feelings and having pushed the volume to maximum, I would say that the power is around 15 watts per speaker, which is already excellent considering the size.

    Value / cheap: it's Bose, it usually costs much more expensive (the Companion models are 20 250 €), so the quality is there for a reasonable price, now I also think that this kit is preferred to a PC or a Mac book, or for someone who does not want to bother with a 2.1 system often of lower quality but more powerful in the bass.

    Very good small speakers for audiophiles who do not want to ruin.

    Bose does not fail its reputation for clean design with this model. They can go anywhere.
    In sound, I am impressed by the power and regularity of the sound of these speakers. Currently, I'm using that to play music, but at first I also used them to amplify my keyboards. And for these uses, they do not have to fade before the speakers of "monitoring" Behringer MS40 I purchased subsequently, creaky medium volume in a compact 8 times.
    Sometimes used for playing music in the evening, they suffice for sound to a room of 30m ² with 15 people. With the volume knob up, they do not crack and the definition of sound is good. These are surprisingly low for a 2.0 system of this size.
    Came to replace Multimedia Speaker Logitech low-end, they were recommended to me by a friend who had them tested. I was looking for a compact monitoring system (without cabinet), with good sound quality and bass, and they seduced me very quickly.
    Since nothing is perfect, I found them a few minor flaws: a little too low at these low volume, the absence of equalization, and the lack of balance control between the two speakers. Still, I highly recommend them to seeking a compact 2.0, with a good sound definition and a sober line. For 90 €, the price / size / power / design / sound is excellent.

    How long have you use it?
    So almost a year,

    Have you tried many other models before buying it?
    No, I mean, nothing of this caliber

    What is so special that you love the most, least?
    Big sound in a small volume. Excellent to listen to the MP3 or play on PC environment. Longer reserved for the monitoring. It might be well for models with low (everything is relative!) Volume, but to really mix or mastering, you will have to consider something else. It seems that there is a limiter in addition to yours, when you go up too the injected volume, the sound decreases.

    How would you rate the quality / price?
    With experience, you do again this choice? ...

    My faith right product for multimedia speakers, do not worry in this context. Useful for a mobile config because of sound quality in a small volume, but we can not do without another product line to go further in the sound.
