Look excellent and sound great for the size. The 360 degree design does a good job of distributing the sound around a room

Bass can get a bit distorted at higher volumes on bassier tracks, but i'm sure all speakers of this size will be the same

Excellent sound quality. Easily fills a small to medium sized room.

I would have liked an old fashioned audio in connector so that I could just attach a device manually when more convenient.
