Does it come with wires to connect to my laptop computer ?
A shopper
on Apr 7, 2021
BEST ANSWER: Yes, it comes with a 3.5mm connector to plug in, but the aux cord is fairly short and if you already have a longer one you might be better off using an alternate cord just to have extra slack.

No. You will have to purchase a 3.5mm jack to RCA male stereo cable. It plugs into the back of one of the speakers. The cable that connects the two speakers is included.

It mutes the speakers, it is a headphone phone jack not a sub out. A sub out also has different power requirements than a headphone jack.

Does the amplifier inside the unit have some sort of filter that cuts off low volume signals? If I set the volume low, or if the input signal is quiet, the speakers won't play any of it. There are times when the signal levels go up and down smoothly but the sound cuts in/out completely on and off.

If you have the speaker volume high and your input volume low, try reversing that. Increase the volume on your input device and control listening volume with the knob on the speakers.

Monolith by Monoprice MM-3 Powered Multimedia Speakers with Bluetooth with Qualcomm aptX Audio (Pair), Black
Monoprice DT-5BT 60-Watt Multimedia Desktop Powered Speakers with Bluetooth
BEST ANSWER: I don't own the DT-5BT, so I can't speak to those. I did quite a bit of research comparing the different sets of speakers and decided on the MM-3. I can speak to those, absolutely outstanding sound for the size. Great low-end for such small speakers and clear highs. Bluetooth works flawlessly, and I can't hear any difference between the wired and wireless connection on various types of music or content. If you are looking for solid sound either on your desktop or on a small bookshelf, the MM-3 are fantastic and were well worth the price for me.

I own a pair of these. When I use the speakers in Bluetooth mode (with my phone connected to it), and walk away with my phone, the speakers keep beeping. Is there a way turn off the beeping sound without physically shutting off the speakers each time?
A shopper
on Apr 23, 2021
BEST ANSWER: I never found a way. This is a huge flaw in these speakers, making them unusable. I wish I had never turned on BT, and just used them as powered speakers as until I used BT the first time it didn't beep. I mean a colored light being blue or not would be great, but why a VERY LOUD beep that keeps beeping would be a desired feature is beyond me...

Mini JBL 305 MkII!
I previously use a pair of JBL 305 MKII's as my desktop monitor. I loved them but my wife stole them to use on a TV with an Xbox(maybe i also hated how huge they were on my desk). These are remarkably similar to the 305 MKII's perhaps these are tuned for more bass sub 200hz where the JBLs are more flat & the JBL's have marginally better imaging. HOWEVER, I got these at half the price of the JBL's AND they came with cables and stands. These are not just a phenomenal micro-monitor from Monoprice, they are a phenomenal micro-monitor full stop.

Better than expected
I always cringe when I purchase audio gear without being able to listen before purchase. I was however, pleasantly surprised.
The audio produced is very warm with crisp highs. I sit roughly 12-18" from them and they are fed from a Schiit Modi 3 DAC. I was worried there would be a lack of lows but they are actually very balanced.
Given the price point, I would highly recommend.
