This past summer I had to throw together some new classrooms because of social distancing and these speakers worked great and are still working.

The speakers technically work as powered outdoor speaker. The sound quality is the worst I have heard from sounds system in decades. I'd equate the sound to what you hear from a cheap TV.

These speakers are very large considering their sound quality. They are big to look like they can do something, but they don't. The sound quality could be more acceptable if these were tiny speakers.

I put up 16 sets of these up at a school. After 4 years most of them are great, did lose 3 amplifiers. Speakers are still good, amp not so I bought a $25 amplifier hooked it up and now I don't have to replace a set every time an amp goes out. Monoprice should carry such an amplifier. If they did I would have bought it here.

They are great! We have them on top of our kitchen cabinets and hooked to a Google ChromCast audio module so we control what is playing and volume form our phones.

Bought these for a specific project, then ended up not using them for that, so I gave them to one of our execs to just use as music speakers in his office. After he hooked them up he came running out of the office to get me yelling "these are incredible, you have to listen to {favorite artist} on these!!" (He's kind of exitable).

But he wasn't wrong, these speaker sound great. Really good low end, sharp but not piercing hi's, nice clarity and presence. What blew me away, though, was how much volume these produce for 25 watts. Said exec tends to stay late and crank up his music after other folks leave, and with these speakers he can't crank the volume all the way up or it's uncomfortably loud (but also clear).

My only complaint(s) is the speaker wire connectors use these modular connectors where you insert the wire into a plastic connector and tighen it with a screw, then plug the connector into the speakers. The connector you put the speaker wire into is a little on the small side and it's really hard to get 12 gauge wire into the holes and securely screwed down. They're a bit flimsy. It would also be nice if the volume, bass/treble and power switch were accessible from the front of the speaker. They're in the back and would be a pain to get to if the speakers were wall mounted.

All in all, these are great speakers at this price point.

These sound surprisingly good and integrate well on our deck / outdoor living area. They are bigger than expected, so buyer beware. They are plenty loud for this environment and use and sound fine. So far no news on how weatherproof they are, but they have withstood a week's worth of on/off light rain mounted to a wall under the eve of the house.

It would be nice if they came with a longer power cable and particularly a white one with a right-angle connector at both ends. The brackets were somewhat challenging to get lined up and tightened correctly. But other than that, no complaints.

I have a TV mounted in the corner of my living room. I used to have a soundbar attached to the bottom of it, until my 5 year old pulled it down, breaking the mounting hole. That was scary!

I installed these above the TV and on each wall in the corner. Not ideal as far as sound goes but for my purpose they work great.

The only negative I can muster up is the lack of bass. Obviously for a speaker of this size you don't expect much thump but it is really lacking in these and they have a decent sized woofer so it's a little surprising. They are connected straight from the TV's headphone jack into the RCA connection in the rear of the speaker so the TV may be part of the problem, I may get a small headphone amp or something to supplement the sound.

Bottom line, if you can get these for under $100, maybe even $80 you can't beat them for what they do. Great solution for a TV or other place you need to mount some speakers.

Other thoughts:
No hardware was included, make sure you have screws and such.
The speaker wire is very short, you may need to get some more if you want to position the speakers farther apart.
Fantastic solution if you don't want a soundbar.

I wanted to upgrade my old Behringer multimedia speakers on my desktop PC that I spend a great deal of time in front of each day. I looked at quite a few pairs and couldn't justify the high prices for most of them. Now, I know exactly what good, studio-quality speakers sound like as we have our own studio where we produce promo videos and top-quality audio books. I wasn't looking for more studio monitors - just something that sounded good for background music in our office.

These speakers fit the bill perfectly...great quality sound, not too big nor too small, and all the controls and inputs you could ask for. My only two complaints that cost the product one star on the rating are both the A/C cord and the speaker wire that connects the main speaker to the other are way too short. I had to replace both before I could set them up.

Other than that, I doubt you could find better sounding speakers at this price point. I bought the white ones that were significantly lower in price than the black ones and they look great in our office.!

PROS: Price, quality build, controls, and multiple inputs. Also, the included mounting brackets may come in handy down the road.

CONS: A/C cord and speaker wire included are way too short. Shipping box was pretty banged up and had several holes punched through it, although speakers were packed well inside and didn't sustain any damage.

Needed a couple of speakers for a waiting room, looked at a bunch of wifi speakers and some cabled speakers decided on these. First of all they are easy to install, and they sound great. The staff play them rather softly with Pandora and you don't miss any of the music. They look great and sound great. Love them thinking of other places I can use them.

PROS: Look good sound great and easy to install

CONS: None that I can think of.

I have now installed 25 in a school setting where they see high use. Robust, simple, worry free. Students can actually hear and learn. Also used for after-hours music.
Speakers can sound tinny and distorted, but on-speaker bass and treble knobs can easily correct this.


PROS: Robust, simple, worry free

CONS: Probably not up to audiophile standards
