I had these sitting in my list for months and I decided to pull the trigger on prime day. Best bank for your buck and they get pretty loud. I'm not an expert on sound but they are up to par especially for my desk set up. Literally the best "budget" speakers that look like the other $500 ones out there. These are underrated and I'm glad I didn't purchase the big name brand ones because these look and perform just as well.

Sound Quality:

For their size, the speakers sound good. There is some bass, but don't expect a lot. You won't be feeling it in your chest. I'll be doing more listening and may update this in the future.

Build Quality:

The speakers are nicely built. The left speaker has no exposed screws, not even on the drivers themselves. The left speaker is attached to the right by a permanently attached cable that terminates in a RCA connection. I wish the cable wasn't permanently attached. This would allow for easier replacement if needed in the future, as well as the ability to replace it with a longer cable if needed. The plate amp is simple enough. The only downside is that it uses a micro USB connection to connect to a PC. This is an outdated connection, and there is room to use a USB-C connection instead. Not a big deal really.

Controls:

The controls on the side are recessed, but the knobs stick out a bit. This makes the right speaker a little wider overall than the left. For my use, this isn't a big deal, but I thought I'd mention it. Speaking about the controls, there are two types of volume control when it comes to Bluetooth. The first is where the device's (speaker) volume is separate from the Bluetooth (phone) volume. The second is where they control each other and are not separate. These speakers are in the second group. If you turn up or down the volume on the speakers you will see the volume change on your phone.

Overall:

Overall, I like these speakers. I got them on sale, and they're a good value for the price. In the future, I might buy the larger ones, which I'm sure will have more bass.

Pros:

Good sound quality for the size
Nicely built
Simple plate amp
Volume control linked to Bluetooth device
Cons:

Permanently attached cable
Micro USB connection
Controls on the side stick out a bit
Overall:

I would recommend these speakers to anyone looking for a good pair of small bookshelf speakers for a reasonable price. They're not the biggest or the most powerful speakers, but they sound good for their size.

I hope this is helpful!

These speakers sound great. They have a good base and good highs. I only have a few little issues but nothing game breaking.

First of all there are no kind of mounting brackets so unless you have them on a desk or a shelf you'll have a little trouble putting them where you want. But I guess that's why there called Bookshelf Speakers.

The second issue is to switch modes you have to hold down the volume buttons for a few seconds. Being that one of the connections is USBC it would have been nice for a PC hotkey for switching modes or a dedicated button on the speakers.

The sound knobs works great but the base and treble button don't seem to do anything but that's fine I normally control that through the audio source device.

Over all they are very nice speakers. They have a great sound great volume and great base. I would definitely recommend these to someone that is looking to replace some old desktop speakers.

Build quality feel very high.

Easy to install and barely weighs anything. The sound is great for the money. The low ends are discernible and punchy, and the high ends are crisp and clear. although at some frequencies they do tend to vibrate and become muddy. Sound projection isn't too great either as soon as you step to the side. But as an affordable alternative I'd gladly recommend these if you need a pair of audio monitors to complete your desktop build.

I got these speakers a couple of weeks ago and I wasn't very impressed with how loud the speakers were able to get. Just now, I realized there is a volume knob on the side of the speaker that I saw when I unboxed them, but then completely forgot about. So I guess the volume was only up halfway. -_- Now that I know they can get super loud when I need them to, it's def a 5-star product.
