These will do the job until they Break!!! I would buy these again if they were lost or stolen.
Sound
The sound Quality is good because it gives you a nice "Flat" response for studio recording . I have them hooked up to my Behringer 32 channel eurodesk mixing board in my studio and monitoring and playback sound is good.
Features
the most useful feature would have to be the usb connection. It allows for easy hook up to computer if needed.
Ease of Use
The sound and volume are great for the size. When recording you can really get a feel for the actual sound before mixing in EQ.
Quality
So far so good . The product seems to be sturdy but I do have them in my studio so they don't really move around to much.
Value
This product is well worth the money for home studio and recording.
Manufacturer Support
Have not had to use support yet.
The Wow Factor
Very easy to use and set up!

My main purpose for this purchase was for the space saving benefits of its multi-functionality. This speaker set replaced my USB interface, speakers, headphone amp, sub woofer and all the tangles of too many cables. But the most impressive thing about it is the sound these speakers produce. I especially love the sound through USB interface - high quality DAC! What a bargain!

"Great quality for the price"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars

I ordered this product with pretty low expectations. I just needed something to monitor mixes in my bedroom project studio. I did not want to spend a lot for desktop speakers that weren't going to be doing my final mixes or mastering. That said, I hooked this up and started playing music both from my DAW and iTunes. The flat, honest response was exceptional. It even has a smooth clear bass, which is often lacking on desktop speakers and monitors. The fact that this thing has its own built-in interface is just icing on the cake. I would be very happy with these at this price even without the interface. I use Sennheiser HD6 Mix headphones for my late-night sessions. The conversion on these speakers is solid. Don't expect Apogee quality or anything, but these can definitely get the job done if all you need is honest frequency response in a project studio. If you're building a big studio intent on final mixing and mastering, I'd shell out for some KRK monitors and a better interface. But if you're a project musician, I must say, this has everything you need. I have not tried to use the inputs for recording yet, so I can't speak on that. I do own other interfaces (Apogee ONE, Focusrute Saffire), so I will most likely still be using those for my recording. But if I were in a pinch and didn't have these, I'd be okay with at least monitoring on these speakers. I'm impressed. Getting started and on a budget, or have space constraints? Go for it! Some have complained that these don't get very loud. Again, if you aren't in close quarters, these won't be your top choice. But I've never needed to bump the output volume past 75% for any reason in my small room. I can imagine a large studio would need a little more juice than this. Good luck!

"Surprisingly!! Very good little speakers"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
First off,I just received these speakers on 1-2-2016 because my rokit5's are being repaired(1 speaker developed an annoying hum)and I needed a a replacement quick without spending another $400-$600. I'm a bass player so the low end and highs are noticeable to me instantly. I was able to hear all the frequencies that appealed to my ears with these speakers. The interface works, but couldn't get Cakewalk to load in my mac mini. Overall I'm very happy with this purchase. Thank you ZZounds for your recommendation and your Pay As You Play ..

Sound quality is good until the level is raised past half way. Cracking and distortion before the sound is as loud as I would like. Need more volume...
