These speakers were a dream until the volume control on the unit failed. The bass was always very present and responsive and the mids and highs were all well articulated. Being that they weren't terribly expensive I wasn't sure what to expect. I used them in a dorm room for my laptop.

I picked up a pair of these speakers while I was going through college. The only truly good computer speakers that ever existed were the short-lived Klipsch iFi which used two actual HIFI satellites (RSX3) and a proper entry level HIFI subwoofer for really mind blowing sound. Some are more crap than others, like the Corsair SP2500 which is monumentally terrible. All computer speakers from $20 logitechs all the way up to $500 AudioEngine's are crap. Those of us in the know, know that you can hook a $50 000 HIFI up to a computer and get incredible sound if you do it properly. The average user doesn't expect much from their computer in terms of sound quality. Why? Simply because the manufacturers can get away with it. In the end, as all audiophiles know, computer speakers are crap. You won't get that out of any computer speaker. However, if you want truly good sound quality out of your computer in a one-time purchase, consider tripling your budget and getting the KEF X300A which is a stereo setup consisting of two nice bookshelf speakers which each have their own internal DAC and class A/B amplification. For people without good hearing, or who don't know what good sound is, or who are bassheads, the Promedia will be fine for you. I don't recommend the (strangely popular) Audioengine A5 as an alternative as that speaker is very poor for the price.īasically, at any price point, there are better speakers out there than the Promedias for the 'broke audiophile'. If you listen to FLAC/ALAC/WAV or CD's and you want better sound, look at a 4.5 or 5' stereo studio monitor setup.

So if you're a basshead and all your music is at a terrible 320kbps or lower, stick with the promedias. Presonus' Eris 4.5 is a 4.5' stereo studio monitor setup that sounds much better than the promedia- especially with a good source like a decent USB DAC, or even a high end soundcard like an Essence STX. For people concerned with actual fidelity and resolution, you'd be much better off with entry level 4 or 5 inch powered studio monitors. The speaker wires were also those cheap 1mm black / red wires - I would have expected something slightly better for this level of speaker. I would say 'pretty' good, as the soundstage wasn't as bright as I would have expected, given the size of the drivers. Now - when actually on, the speakers were actually pretty good. I expect that this is a build flaw, but for the price, not something I was going to put up with.Īlso - given there is no way to power down the system from the control (besides from unplugging from the wall), it was unacceptable. (no, not interference - tried with computer off / router off / different rooms.same deal). When on standby, the speakers issued a very low sounding 'ticking' sound (every 3 seconds or so), and the subwoofer exhibited a medium-frequency humming noise. Two may be a curse, but they both did the same thing so I would be wary.
