Amazing quality

Colour: Silver

Excellent sound, option to fiddle with the settings to get the most out of any sound or music. Fully compatible with cable or Bluetooth, but have discovered the the best sound comes from the cable.
Worth the money and highly recommended for casual or professional use .

A very cost-effective device!

Colour: Wood

After using it for a while, I’ve found myself wanting to turn it on every morning when I wake up or after coming home from work, just to enjoy different kinds of music and make the most of life.

Solid beginner speakers

Colour: Black

Extremely great speakers for its price. For 4inch speakers, they put out satisfying levels of sound for all highs and lows. Bluetooth is really handy when I don’t want my pc turned on to play music.
I make music with these and I know I have some standard for audio quality.

Budget Audiophile

Colour: Black

These are the best speakers I have owned. Great bass mids and highs. I would highly recommend them. I use them in my lounge as my main hifi music system. Much better than the $580 Klipsch speakers I was using. They have an excellent amp built in which sounds fantastic. I have other Edifier speakers but these are the best so far. For the bargin price of these I'm very happy I bought them. Great service from PB tech too thanks.

Perfect

Colour: Wood

I forgot what it was like to have bass in music, been listening to laptop speakers for too long.
I like the fact it doesn't auto-sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity like most battery powered speakers!

Best money ever spent

Colour: Black

These speakers are near perfect for the price. They look aesthetic and fit my room perfect. They pack a loud punch with lots of bass and easily fills the room. Bluetooth on them is pretty much flawless and they come with all the cables you need if you don't want to use bluetooth. My only gripe is that the remote is quite small and finicky and also quite easy to lose. Great product overall and would definitly recommend

Excellent for the price and size

Colour: Wood

Was undecided over these speakers and have been considering them for a while waiting for a good discount. Wanted the ones with optical/coax/bluetooth and RCA inputs. Lacks USB port for local playback which is disappointing and a headphone jack would have been useful, but hey, they are cheap-ish. Sound is pretty good. Bass is great for the size they are and lacking a dedicated sub. Better than the logitech Z313.
