Yay! I’m finally following through on one of my “promised” reviews haha. I’ve had the speakers a couple of weeks now, so I’ve had time to get a good feel for them.
I’ll just start by saying these speakers are absolutely incredible. I have absolutely no regrets whatsoever. They are gorgeous, for one thing. I know they were designed to fit in with older Macs (the G4s, I think?), but they still look great. But at the end of the day, they are speakers, meant for audible rather than visual pleasure. And in that respect, they more than deliver. I’m listening to Celtic Woman on them as I’m typing this, and the voices are amazingly clear, while the drums and bass notes and pure and booming. I won’t claim to be an audiophile (more of a wannabe audiophile haha) or to know the intricacies of good speakers, but I do know of all of the different speakers I’ve ever heard, these sound the best. Heck, on that note, I haven’t even really played with the EQ at all, and they still sound amazing. They may not be at their best, and they’re still the best I’ve heard. In fact, I know they aren’t, because 90% of my listening on them has been MP3s, and the only super-high quality sample I’ve been able to get my hands on is the free nine inch nails album they release, which, frankly, sounds terrible (sorry to any NIN fans out there). Overall, I could not be more pleased and I would not hesitate to recommend these to anyone willing to pay a little for their speakers.
