What the reviews say
A pair of powered speakers for a desk or small listening room, with simple wired connections and no Bluetooth. SoundGuys cautions against loud parties and distortion at high levels, while Tom’s Guide is much more positive about loudness and bass. They offer differing views on output rather than a shared verdict for large gatherings.
