Poor build quality, durability and customer support
Unbiased review, They sounded excellent. Mids, highs, lows superb above par quality. However, have very poor build quality and are short lived. Apparently a very common issue if you read reviews.. I purchased 2 sets of these. The plastic connection at the bottom of the sticks that pushes the air out will eventually crack and come apart as you can see in the photos which then affects sound quality. The sticks are very delicate and not sturdy so be prepared they will start cracking and separate in half. Also, be prepared to lose the rubber legs on the bottoms, Then the subwoofer will shake and cause rattle noise since its not on the surface evenly anymore. For the plug you have to be very careful with the way you plug it in because the wire prongs will bend easily and you won't be able to plug it in..(watch out for others). When I contacted customer service they weren't helpful, they would not replace or sell any replacement parts or state that it would cost as much as the entire system. They said go to a third party technician.There's also random static click noises that occur with the original cables and extreme static noise when connecting to a device. I would attach an mp3 file here if I could. The aux cable will easily bend at the tip and its too short to plug it into a device with a case on, but this is a minor issue. I bought 2 sets of these. Thats alot of money for disposable speakers? The least I would expect from support is to let me exchange them.
