So I just got home from Best Buy and hooked these puppies up and they sound awesome. I built myself a gaming desktop and have gone close to 6 months with no speakers and using only headphones. A few days ago I reorganized my desk setup and my tower is now too far away to comfortably wear my headphones so after pursuing various speakers online I settled on these guys because of their great reviews and after watching a couple of comparison videos between these and a few other brands. The bass is super strong, I have it set at about a quarter of the way and it sounds great. The highs and mids on the satellite speakers are crisp and clear yet still warm (I've had issues previously where I felt that they were too cold/mechanical on a couple pairs of Klipsch earbuds). I highly recommend these speakers if you're looking to get out of the entry level speakers.
What's great about it: Easy to set up, good price, good sound
