I purchased these for my office and the decor is great and the sound is great. These speakers are great at producing full sound at low volume levels.

It's not okay! I can only control the volume using my IPOD, which makes for limited sound. I wanted to love this unit for the look, the price, and the brand. It seems that the Pink one is the only one with the intermittent complaint about the volume controls. I do think the controls work on some units, and doesn't on others. I paid $50 for the unit, and was disappointed. I had to return it. If you're thinking of getting this color DON'T! Try the black or white one. It might actually work...no complaints from those purchasers that I can tell.

I love the compact speakers, but the sound is...pretty bad, frankly. Music sounds disappointingly tinny. The volume buttons don't work at all.

And while the design is very cool, it's also impractical: the power button is on the back of the subwoofer, between the cable jacks. Who thought that was a good idea?

I just bought these at Sam's Club for $40 (in white to match my mac)! I went online to read the reviews. I bought them because i saw they were on sale and for the price, they were exactly what I needed. They have great sound and amazing volume for the size of the speakers. I can't complain about the subwoofer since it's perfect for my needs. However, my only complaint is the positioning of the input jacks and bass control. with all the wires where they are supposed to go, it is very difficult to adjust the bass. Also, the way it's set up, the control is right next the rest of the jacks in the BACK... or the jacks are in the FRONT depending on how you look at it. All in all... not a bad buy for $40, but I'm glad I didn't pay Amazon's price.

I really like these speakers. Set-up was easy and the sound quality is good. Probably not the greatest choice for true audiophiles, but for my purposes (listening to music and podcasts while sitting at the computer) they fit the bill perfectly. The two speakers are very small and fit nicely out of the way on my desk. The sub, cables and power cords are all concealed nicely underneath. Recommended as nice desktop speakers.
