I bought these speakers for my laptop computer over 4 years ago at Best Buy. I didn't want to buy them at first because I thought that spending $150 on computer speakers was way too much. To this day I do not regret my decision. I use them almost everyday and they still sound like they are brand new! My college roomates love having the speakers hooked up and play them as well. I have used them in watching movies, with the aux in port, and it does a fantasic job at hitting the low ground trembling bass. The adjustable bass knob is a nice plus because sometimes the bass does overpower the sound coming out of the system. I wouldn't compare them to the similar Bose system, but you do save yourself some major $$$. The clarity does drop in the speakers after a certain point unlike the comparible Bose setup but I never need to play the music that loud. Believe me it is loud enough and will fill any room with ease.
What's great about it: awesome sound for a fair price
