Now the Pro. With "premium cables" these monitors really shine. Luckily I had a set of 3.5mm TRS to RCA stereo breakout cables and 14AWG OFC speaker cable laying around. I threw aside the stock wires and instead used the above mentioned. These speakers now sound crisp and clean. No muddy bass or harsh highs anymore. Aside from having to toss aside the out of the box wiring, these monitors are definitely a great buy and definitely will give you that studio sound.

My two suggestion they should include in the package two 6.35mm or 1/4” TRS cables (gold finish) which provides best stereo quality setup and free plugins included are for only pro tool users if it is meant to be budget speakers then they should also consider for non Mac operators so a plug-in which supports cubase for windows would have been great option.
It’s a great product for the price and my reviews on the quality of the output will know better after longer usage.

Suonare bene, suonano bene. Sono anche molto più potenti di quello che si potrebbe pensare.
Hanno anche tre diverse entrate (jack stereo 3,5", Doppio Jack mono da 6,3", RCA), possono essere posizionate con la cassa attiva a destra o a sinistra (particolare non di poco conto). Sono pure belle da vedere.
Però ci sono due difetti:
1- Il cavo di collegamento tra le due casse (un classico bipolare rosso e nero) è imbarazzantemente corto
2- Per essere una cassa monitor è tutto fuor che neutra, avendo dei bassi da discoteca che quindi falsano il risultato in fase di mixing e mastering.
Ergo buone per sentire musica, meno per lo scopo per le quali sono state create

I have been running multiple speakers over the years and these are the first ones I can not complain about. If I were to compare them to head phones the sound quality out of these speakers matches if not out performs my Sennheiser 599 se's. After running them through my motherboard I haven't even ran them at more the 20 percent and i am still getting enough sound to feel it in my chest, without distortion.

Tried running two 1/4" TRS cables from the balanced output of my interface to the 1/4" L and R active speaker ins, tried the included RCA to TRS cable from the RCA outs of my interface to the active speaker's stereo in, and tried running the included TRS cable from the headphone out of my interface (which definitely works) to the active speaker's stereo in. Also tried replacing the speaker wire that connects the two speakers.
Looking like an RMA is likely.
Build quality seems good, otherwise. Solid, attractive speakers. The active speaker sounds just fine. You'd really expect them to just work out of the box, though.

if you are needing monitors that give you the sound, the actual sound these are excellent choice.
they come with all you need, including some foam if you are going to place them directly on your desk/shelf. They are ported in the back and one being passive make it easy to set up where you want them. I would recommend if anyone were to ask !
