I will say first that the lack of any sort of crossover control is something that could be improved in a future version. I would be tempted to pay a little bit extra for that flexibility. I definitely like the strong bass at low volume. That's a really sweet feature.
I've previously owned a Klipsch subwoofer, that used to clear off all the dust in the room anytime there was an explosion in a soundtrack, so I'm used to their quality which really helped with the purchase decision for me.
That said, the first thing that I noticed when listening for the first time was the phenomenal bass response. Are you kidding me - it's like there's a subwoofer in the room. That's why I made the comment about an adjustable crossover.
The bass isn't overpowering at all. It does take a little trial and error to find the right distance from the wall for the best bass, of course. I'd like to see a future version with equally good bass but front ported if possible. I realize that would require a larger cabinet but it would give the option to wall mount.
I have them in my home office in a spare bedroom for an idea of room size.
My last bookshelf size speakers were Polks powered by a high current receiver and they didn't have this much punch. I absolutely love the bass. This is an apartment so I'm afraid to really crank them up. I think I'd be in trouble pretty fast if I did.
The rest of the sound is great too. I was afraid of getting listening fatigue from the horn tweeters but OMG. I would definitely not call these overbright. They're wonderful to listen to. For example stuff by Sleeping Pandora sounds really nicely mixed when I listen on these. It can be difficult to make it sound good on inexpensive systems. "Sorrow", by Pink Floyd is breathtaking because that bass solo at the beginning really shines with these.
My other listening option is a pair of Byerdynamic studio headphones and these are every bit as enjoyable. I get goosebumps.
I don't know if I believe in "break in" for speakers but as good as they sound initially it'll only get better.
Bluetooth was super easy to connect out of the box. At first the tablet didn't find them from across the room but after bringing it a lot closer, doing the pairing, it was fine after that from anywhere that I would expect to be able to use Bluetooth. I like being able to basically use my tablet as a music system remote for queuing up music and stuff. I know it doesn't sound as good as wired but when I want higher quality I just plug it in to the headphone jack.
I'm using the USB for sound in Windows and Linux and that was seamless to set up. The quality is phenomenal.
I've been collecting vinyl from independent bands on Bandcamp and hopefully will be able to get a turntable soon, so the preamp was as much a selling point for me as the Bluetooth.
I really appreciate all the connection options on these. It's a main reason why they were at the top of the list for powered speakers that I was considering.
Highly recommend. 10/10
Originally I purchased a $30 soundbar for my gaming computer. Just something to hold me over until I could splurge on something better. It had high reviews and the only real complaint I had with it is the volume. Since it was powered by the USB port it was limited and my volume settings were 100% or off.
I was researching speakers for gaming and these never came up, but a YouTuber video that rated some computer speakers had their top choice as Klipsch R-51M as his top choice, but they were not powered and needed an amp. The price of both those was the same as these, and still wouldn't get the blue-tooth support. After many more hours of research I couldn't find anything close to the quality for the price. The blue-tooth is a big bonus for me since I listen to my audio book while on the treadmill and I was using a battery powered mobile speaker for that.
Connecting (Inputs):
Hooking these up was simplicity itself. They support phono, optical digital, aux, and the all important USB. The 41's don't support optical digital according to manual, I got the R-51PM so I have to take their word for it. One thing I wasn't expecting was the remote, for the computer I can mute and control the volume from my keyboard so I didn't think it would be a benefit to me. The remote allows the switching between inputs as well, allowing me to switch over to blue-tooth and back to USB for computer. Otherwise I would need to press on the volume dial located on the back of the speaker, behind my monitor and against the wall every time I want to use the blue-tooth or switch back.
Quick note, after hooking up these speakers I didn't get any audio even though my computer recognized them and set them as audio output. These speakers don't auto switch between inputs. The color of the LED you can slightly see through the removable mesh indicates which input speakers are currently on. The USB is white and soon as I switch it over beautiful sound filled the air.
Volume:
Just WOW! At first it was disappointingly low. After a little trial and error I found the volume control on my PC/Keyboard would only have the range up to what ever volume the speakers are set too. I like this, I set the speaker volume to just short of rattling the walls, less than their full volume. Then when I adjust the volume from my computer it will only reach up to the volume the speakers are set too. This should keep me from startling my neighbors awake. I actually find myself using the volume control on the computer/keyboard now, finding the sweet spot for each situation and mood.
For immersion in games, volume and quality of sound is essential. Some cheaper speakers would probably have been adequate. There are some highly rated brands a step down and I'm not an audiophile, but having speakers that are more than what I need now means they'll give me that extra quality and sound while meeting or exceeding my future needs.
Conclusion:
For the price they are not the best solution for everyone, especially if you don't spend some time on the computer playing games and/or listening to music. If you can splurge for these, it will be an investment you can reap the rewards from for decades, unlike computers and even monitors which need regular upgrading to stay relevant, quality speakers will still be quality and usable for as long as you own them. I have no regrets getting them and glad I did splurge. They have really good sales if you can wait and are patient.
Top reviews from other countries
Decidí comprar estas bocinas/parlantes porque pienso comprar una tornamesa a corto plazo. El amplificador integrado, me ahorrará comprar elementos adicionales como amplificadores o recibidores sin dejar a un lado la calidad en el sonido.
PRO's
- Los tonos agudos y medios están excelentemente balanceados. Las bocinas/parlantes emiten un sonido potente, claro y con una alta cantidad de detalles.
- Excelente desempeño con las voces, teclados y guitarras eléctricas
- Soberbia reproducción de guitarras acústicas y percusiones.
- Ideal para los géneros Rock, Pop, escuchar clases y conferencias, podcast, videos de YouTube y conciertos en vivo; aunque su amplio rango dinámico le permite llevarse bien con casi cualquier género musical.
- Nula distorsión de tonos agudos, medios, graves altos y graves medios aún con un volumen alto.
- La calidad del sonido recibido desde pantallas y equipos de video es excelente siempre y cuando se haga a través de la Optical Input y el cable incluido.
ASPECTOS A CONSIDERAR / “CONTRAS”
- La potencia del sonido es suficiente para hacer sentir que la música golpea al oyente de frente, haciendo que esto incomode a algunas personas. Es por ello que, debido a su potencia, no recomendaría colocarlas muy cerca del oyente, ya que obligaría a reducir el volumen y puede dar una confusa sensación de que el equipo no cumple con las especificaciones de potencia y calidad de sonido.
- Los agudos o “bajos” son claramente perceptibles y detallados, permitiendo que la habitación en la que probé el equipo (20 m2) se sienta lleno de sonido vívido. Sin embargo, el grueso de la población adora los “bajos” y sienten que algo falta cuando estos no están potenciados. Por lo que prefieren sacrificar una rica gama de tonos y detalles propios de la música a cambio la “profundidad” que ofrecen bocinas construidas para potenciar los agudos. Si consideras que los “bajos” son importantes para disfrutar la experiencia de disfrutar de tu música favorita, entonces estas bocinas NO son para ti. Puedes encontrar reseñas en donde se sugiere invertir en un Subwoofer para llenar ese “vacío” que te hace sentir la claridad de sonido que trabaja este equipo. Sin embargo, la calidad de graves emitidos para ser un woofer de 5.25” es impresionante.
- No recomendaría este equipo para aquellas personas cuyos géneros favoritos circulen alrededor de una dependencia de graves “profundos” como algunos sub-géneros de música electrónica. No obstante, he probado su desempeño con Trance, Hip hop, House, entre otros y vuelvo a sentir emoción al escuchar la nitidez de sus arreglos y las voces.
MIS DIFERENCIAS CON OTRAS RESEÑAS
- Algunas reseñas comentan que el control remoto no está a la altura del equipo, sin embargo, difiero en estas opiniones. Considero una verdadera ventaja que el control remoto tenga un botón para cada fuente de sonido. De esta forma, no tengo que estar presionando el mismo botón hasta encontrar la fuente de sonido que deseo emplear, cosa que suele suceder en la mayoría de las bocinas/parlantes. El único “Inconveniente” que veo es que demora un poco en pausar la música reproducida vía Bluetooth cuando se opera desde el control de las bocinas.
- Realicé pruebas para confirmar la reseña en la que se quejan del problema de sincronización vía Bluetooth y hasta el momento no he encontrado fallas. El alcance máximo de conectividad sin saltos que encontré fue de poco más de 12 metros con algunas paredes intermedias.
- No encontré esa estática propia de cualquier bocina que se escucha cuando no hay algún sonido reproduciéndose. Es la primera vez que veo un comportamiento en un equipo de sonido. Así, descarto la queja de un comprador en donde asegura que se escucha “estática” entre las diferentes fuentes de sonido.
Si has llegado hasta aquí, agradezco mucho tu tiempo y tu atención.
