Awesome Speakers, Quality Control Not So Much
on March 19, 2016
Posted by: Colivia
This product is a long-time classic and has stood the test of audio-time!
I originally purchased a ProMedia 2.1 from Best Buy around 2005 and enjoyed them heavily until now when the sub-woofer died. I also had problems with the volume control knob the past few years but lived with it.
Because these speakers are so awesome I was excited to see this product is still being sold and decided to repurchase the same product, however, it seems there has been come cost-cutting in the meantime.
First, the new sub-woofer weighs A LOT less than its predecessor. Does that mean lower quality? There is no separate power switch, no external fuse access, speaker wires no longer detachable from the back of the speakers. Included with this review is a side-by-side photo of the new and old sub-woofer.
Unfortunately, after running the wires and plugging in the new set I got loud crackling on the right speaker when playing any sound. :-/ Decline in quality control too?
After taking the new set back and exchanging for another with no hassle, the second set works as expected and sounds AMAZING.
I'm disappointed the product has been obviously cheapened a bit from it's original design, however, I recall paying a lot more for the original set back in 2005 (maybe double?).
Let's hope I get another 10 years of enjoyment from this new set. Would have given 5 stars if I didn't have to exchange the defective unit.
My Best Buy number: 0106280498
I would recommend this to a friend!
