5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome sound, listen with your eyes closed, September 24, 2009

I bought my first one of these about ten years ago (to give you an idea of how long that is, the instructions show you how to connect it to your Walkman). It's still going strong. I bought a second one because Amazon (actually Wall Street photo) offered me a great deal, and it's worth having a spare.

Out of the box the speakers sound terrible. You need to kick up the bass on your player, and tweak the positioning a bit (the tweeters fold down, so you can face them in the same direction as the bass, or backwards). The system actually sounds best on a bookshelf (to give it some additional resonance), and, depending on the music, it may also be best to fold down the tweeters and let them bounce off the back. It's also optimized for voice range, so folk and swing sound better than heavy metal or disco.

Cosmetically, the speaker isn't pretty (not so much retro as orthopedic). So?

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty poor sound quality, December 2, 2008

I ordered these speakers to use with my Sony portable DVD player. I only paid $14.99 for them on sell, and that is all they are really worth. There isn't much tonal range and the sound quality is a bit distorted. The quality is only slightly better than that of the built in speakers of the portable DVD player. They work okay for the small area I intended to use them in, but I ended up getting an inexpensive pair of Sony headphones (MDR-V150 Monitor Series Headphones) and enjoy the full stereo sound they provide over the output of these speakers.
