    Incredible Speakers For The Price

    • Written by from Dallas

    These things sound incredible. Sounds to me like that other guy works for m-audio. The sound is fantastic and the bass is nice and deep and doesn't crack when turned up. Just be sure to put them on the floor to get the full effect.

    These speakers are incredible! the subwoofer is very "smooth" and the other speakers put out very high quality music. The clear covers make these speakers look like parts of art! they are incredible!

    Great Speakers

    • Written by from Kuna

    These speakers are incredible. The sound quaility is amazing. Even with the volume turned all the way up the sound is still crisp and clear with no distortion on the sub. With the speakers turned all the way up, only 1 notch on the macs volume control is plenty audible, its louder than the built in mac mini speakers turned all the way up. And not only do they sound great they look great to :). I would recomend these speakers to anyone. They also came with an adapter to plug in red and white cables so if you wanted to you could hook up a TV or even a record player to these.

    AMAZING SOUND!!

    • Written by from Brooklyn

    I was introduced to these speakers by a friend a couple of years ago. I received them as a Christmas present. I plugged them into my MacBook and watched a movie and was blown away by the sound. I've since plugged them into my tv and my iPod and have enjoyed the AMAZING SOUND!! These speakers are well worth the price!! Go out and get them!!!

    GREAT SOUND, EXCELLENT PRICE

    • Written by from New York

    These speakers look great, and the sound is fantastic. The manufacturing quality is excellent. The wire plugs are gold coated. Each of the speaker wires is deeply mesh shielded. The volume control is touch sensitive (no buttons or knobs to turn), and the woofer has a nice LED light. The wires are ample in length, and there is an extra adaptor in case you are using the speakers for some other device, such as a TV which has dual plug audio wires. The sound of these speakers really distinguishes them. And of course, they are physically beautiful and pleasing to the eye. Looking inside, you can see the quality of the workmanship -- each solder, each connection is visible, and you can see the quality of the assembly. Kewl!

    Worth Every Penny

    • Written by from Victoria

    These are awesome. I have a Macbook Pro with a display but needed some speakers because the factory ones are decidedly sub-par. I was a little unsure if I wanted to spend as much money as the soundsticks cost, but knew that Harman Kardon makes good stuff so I figured I'd give them a shot; I'm glad I did. They are very loud and very clear, I would highly recommend them.

    Attractive with excellent sound quality

    • Written by from Baltimore

    I wanted something as attractive as my new iMac. But being a professional musician, I didn't want to sacrifice quality for more superficial aspects. So I decided to take a chance, betting on Harman Kardon's reputation. I am in no way disappointed. A wonderful partner to the iMac - similar simple elegance and great, reliable function. These speakers meet the demands of classical music. While no match for my high end surround speakers. they do a superior job as computer speakers for casual listening. I am very happy with them, and can recommend them highly.

    great speakers

    • Written by from Anaheim

    I hooked these speakers to my new 27 inch imac and was very happy with the way they sound.The one thing I didn't like was that the on and off button is on the sub woofer and the best location for it was on the bottom of my desk. I had to turn them off when not useing computer. the problem was solved after I bought new power strip made by monster witch has 3 outlets 1 for speakers so that when you shut down computer or put it to sleep the power to speakers turns off and on when you come out of sleep.problem solved

    Awesome!

    • Written by from Liberty township

    I purchased these speakers last week and was skeptical at first, I had trouble deciding between the JBL and the Harman Kardon. Eventually I just went with the Harman Kardon after reading the great reviews. I could not be more impressed with these speakers. The Bass is loud for when your listening to music or watching an action movie. I can not speak more highly of these speakers and have recommended them to everyone I know!

    Highly recommend

    • Written by from PARADISE

    I received the second gen version of these (almost identical) in 2008. They are playing crisp, beautiful music today (2013) and still look new. If looking for a 2.1 sound system in this price range I would find it difficult to buy anything else. Form factor, sound quality, bass response: its all great.

    Have had this for over a year and still fantastic!

    • Written by from Honesdale

    I bought this speaker system about a year and a half ago and it's still the life of the party! I brought it to college with me and received many noise complaints, especially from the room below mine due to the spectacular bass. I highly recommend this product!!
