I purchased these about a year ago and loved them for about 11 months. The sound was impressive, the best "computer" speaker I have ever owned. During the last month, they have started to act up. Just like some of the other negative reviewes, the sound control or one side of the system seems to not work. I have checked all connections and computer settings, but the speakers act as if the controller is fried. The volume is different for each input. If I listen to music, the volume is around a 3. When I move over to working inside a program, the sound might be a 10/10. It can not be turned down at the speaker. Even if I set the sound on my computer at 1, the sound is too loud at the speaker.
I now need new speakers and even with this negative review, I am seriously am considering buying another set of these. Why?....they did sound great when they worked. Best sound for $150.00 in my opinion. I just hope I get one of the GOOD pair this time.
