    Not impressed...

    • Written by from Niagara Falls

    Alright, for a while these speakers were great, until about a year later when they recently just lost a lot of sound. For the price, never buying them again.

    Good at first, not so good later.

    After seeing all the great reviews here I thought I'd give you all a little perspective from someone who has owned a pair of these for several years. They sound great out of the box, but be aware that they do clip (distort) a bit. Over time mine even started rattling and coming apart. The magnets on two of the small speakers came off and I had to put tape on both sticks to keep them together, which has resulted in more rattling. They look cool and are a lot better sounding than most computer speakers, however, if you're a stickler like I am about sound quality then I would consider doing a little research. Perhaps there is a better option available. Alrighty, there you have it.

    Dissappointed - First Time Around

    • Written by from Mooresville

    Just received the HK SSIII. Any music played (regardless of genre) through these speakers at a volume level just over 1/2 produces a noticable distortion as if peak-clipping is occuring. It is noticeable on both my MacBook Pro 2010 and MacPro Early 2008. I called Apple and they are going to send out a replacement. I hope that is all there is as I hope to write a more positive review once the replacement is tested.
