Don't let the size fool you, these are not just PC Gaming speakers on steroids, they are full featured near field reference monitors designed for small spaces. They have plenty of punch despite the 3" speaker, and do not sound thin at all. They aren't going to rattle paint of the wall, but they are plenty loud for what they were designed to do. I upgraded to these from some small Mackie monitors and I've been very happy using them with my DAW and as a small FRFR for my Helix board.

First off, I don't buy into the snake oil or gimmicks. I like to investigate and research before making any purchase. Big or small. I came across these in the beginning of the pandemic. Was looking for a small footprint set of monitors for my home desk. I looked at Genelec, Neumann, Fuid, PMC, ATC, Dynaudio, JBL, Yamaha, shot you name it. Lots of great options out there, but, the size of the monitors was not something that would fit my needs. A great friend of mine happened to have purchased a pair of the iLoud Micro Monitors and could not stop raving about them. So I said, screw it. Worst case I don't like them and I send them back. So I put in the order. As I waited for my monitors my friend kept feeding more fuel to the fire. So much so that I was feeling like she was getting a cut of the sales for these monitors. Finally, they arrive. To my surprise the packaging is small for two monitors. I figured there was another box coming, nope! Two little monitors where in there. I was shocked to see how small and light the speakers were. I laid them out on my kitchen counter and decided to put them to the test. I connected to them via my iPhone using Bluetooth. Simple process. I launch Spotify and start playing music. I must have listened to about 15 seconds of a song and was sold on them. I listened to all kinds of genres of music; Metalcore, Deathcore, anything with core at the end of it, country, hip hop, rap, and symphony music. I was blown away. I could not believe my ears. I finally decided it was time to listen to them at my work station. Setup was easy and straight forward. My only gripes are the extremely thick cable that runs from the Left speaker to the right speaker and no XLR or 1/4 TRS inputs. Aside from that, they are more than I expected. Things to note, while the low end is very impressive, do not plan to hear your walls shaking and mirror shattering. They are after all really small monitors but they do pack a punch. The high frequencies are not harsh and the imaging is incredible. If you are on the fence about these little guys, do it. You owe it to yourself.

First, let us put these into perspective. These are small, desktop speakers. The size you get with a PC/Monitor/Speakers package. These are not "replace your full size $3,000 studio monitors" type speakers. That being said, these are defiantly the best speakers I have heard in this size class. The do sound better than many speakers that are larger. These Also go from "good speakers" to "great speakers" if you can pair them with a sub woofer. I have mine running off of an old Creative Recon 3D sound card with a Sony sub woofer (using a 3.5 mm splitter). It doesn't matter if I am listening to music, recording music, mixing music, playing my guitar though my PC, watching Netflix or playing a game, I am getting terrific sound from these.

These are excellent powered near field monitors. The sound is great and they take up minimal space. Perfect monitors for small or untreated rooms. Just can't get over having to connect to unbalanced RCA jacks. Plenty of room for 1/4 TRS inputs and I'd give these an 11 out of 10 if they had 1/4 inputs.

I have had these for just over 4 hours. I am thoroughly pleased with them. I listen to all genre of music and these deliver a good satisfying sound with everything. I got the white ones and they look very nice.

Was hoping that for $250 these monitors would be a great fit, my cats and I live in an RV and just don't have room for larger monitors. Got them and connected everything, not a peep from either monitor, tried using a different cable, nothing... Finally I was able to get a very faint sound from the left speaker, nothing but distortion. I went to the IK Multimedia website for assistance, no customer service phone number, you have to email their "Technical Support Team" and wait for a response. Now I'm obligated to pack this stuff up and send it back to zZounds, (I've purchased over $15,000 in equipment from zZounds since 2013, never had to return anything) The last pair of monitors I had was a pair of Event ps5 which sounded nice but too large for the desk. Really disappointed here and irritated that I have to send these back...
