No it does not have a ground plug but you can use a multi outlet strip with the ground fault

Just a standard 2 prong plug but it is used with a good quality surge protector.

Would these be good for a turntable that has a pre-amp?
Ryan K
on Dec 24, 2022
BEST ANSWER: That's not how I use mine, but I believe they should work with a turntable, given appropriate cabling. Mine are connected to my computer, and work fine with streamed audio, which should be similar. I don't use Bluetooth, so can't speak to that.

Exactly what they are for! In addition the front headphone jack allows you to be able to use headphones when you need to keep volume too low to enjoy

If the turntable has a preamp then, yes these will work. I think they sound very good.

Can these speakers be connected with one of your powered subwoofers? Thanks!

There is no subwoofer input on the back of these to add a subwoofer, either passive or powered. So i think the answer is no.

Sure felt like cheap plastic to me, but if the staff answer is correct, likely cheap particle board with a sticker/vinyl coating.

How many ohms are the speakers for this model?
Mark Swiencicki S
on Nov 18, 2019
BEST ANSWER: These are self-powered speakers, so it's not likely an easy spec to find. Since they are self-powered, it won't matter much.

Hi Alex: thanks, but only the left speaker is self powered, so I was able to plug a different, more expensive 4-ohm speaker speaker into the right channel. I needed one with a grill on it so my cat wouldn't damage it.

How do these compare to the more expensive monoprice MM-3 monitors?

Monoprice DT-5BT 60-Watt Multimedia Desktop Powered Speakers with Bluetooth
Monolith by Monoprice MM-3 Powered Multimedia Speakers with Bluetooth with Qualcomm aptX Audio (Pair), Black
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.

Is it possible to disconnect the Bluetooth module? I have no interest in Bluetooth connectivity and would rather not have someone else in my house mistakenly connect to my computer's speakers (this happens with my current speakers, which have Bluetooth).

BEST ANSWER: You have to press the Pair button on the back before they'll even show up in the list of available devices. Once they're paired, they automatically reconnect whenever you turn them on.

Rock on!
These speakers rock! They produce good sound and you don't need a subwoofer with them if you are able to bump up the bass on your computer. I use them with an external sound card and the combo is awesome!

Thumbs up :)
Perfect. Please note that these are reference monitors. They let you hear what the music really sounds like. They are not for thumping, wall rattling bass or glass shattering treble. I use them to mix original songs that I record. That means I need to hear what the song actually sounds like. These speakers are wonderful for that application.

Worth every cent
I was a "hifi" speaker product manager my entire career (45 years of hifi!) Now Retired. These compact self-powered two-ways are a STEAL. The frequency response is smooth. The bass is outstanding. It goes deep and is never boomy. I have them plugged into the headphone out of a TV, sitting on little stands. Highly recommended.

Bought for video editing
I do a lot of talking head videos and needed something to pair with my MacBook pro running Davinci Resolve. These speakers are amazing for that. The clarity on the high end is amazing. NOt a lot of bass but please don't think that they aren't perfectly balanced because they are. I've had much more expensive speakers but these are much better. Don't hesitate if you want for video editing.

Good value speakers
Nice speakers in a teenager?s room. The Bluetooth works well, I haven?t noticed a drop off in volume or sound quality. The build quality is on par with its price

Nice speakers, good value for the money, finicky Bluetooth
I bought these speakers to replace an older Bose computer speaker system that started to slowly die on me. Since I use these speakers on a desktop configuration, the idea of Bluetooth appealed to me to reduce the wire clutter. In fact I decided to move the speakers to the bookshelf behind me, rather than on my desk, to clean things up even more. This was an issue because the Bluetooth USB dongle I was using was not powerful enough to reliably connect to the speakers (about 8 feet). So I ended up getting an Intel Bluetooth card for my PC and this seemed to help a lot. Initially the speaker sound still "skipped" once in a while with the new Bluetooth card, but I haven't had any problems the past couple weeks. So who knows - but be warned that the Bluetooth on these speakers is a little finicky.
Other than that the speakers are really nice. They look great with a high quality finish (on the web site they look quite carbon fiber-like, but IRL they look more dark gray to me).
