"Perfect for the price, BE CAREFUL NOT TO POKE THE TWEETERS!"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
just what i wanted, except for that easily poke-able tweeter on the active side.
Sound
Sounds accurate. Sounds great for the price.
Features
These DO have 1/4" inputs (contrary to another reviewer's claim -did he review the wrong product?) bal/unbal, RCA inputs, a mid-boost switch (not sure why, i keep it off) It's own volume control and 1/8" headphone out which bypasses the speakers. I wish it had a mute or a toggle between cans & speakers, but eh. It's got all the ins & outs you need in this price range.
Ease of Use
Plug them in, hook up included speaker wire, plug in your input source and you're done. I only give them a 9 because IT'S VERY EASY TO PUT YOUR THUMB THROUGH THE TWEETER WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OUT OF THE BOX! the master speaker that has the amp in it is much heavier than the passive sattelite so you may be surprised and re-grip instinctively thereby pushing the tweeter cone in like a "diet, cola, other" button. This happened to everyone i know who owns these. Be careful. But they still sound fine. (!)
Quality
They are really good at being what they are. Just watch out you don't poke the tweeter cone in.
Value
This is it for the price as far as i know
Manufacturer Support
never used it
The Wow Factor
compact, good sound, good price, cute little speakers. The blue LED could go though. i put tape over mine.
