Pros:

• All cables are detachable.
• Lots of connectivity options.
• Handmade speaker cabinets.
• Excellent build quality and design.
• Very good audio quality on all 3 EQ presets.

Cons:

• “GAMING” logo on the side is tacky.
• Cannot turn off audio prompts.
• Audio prompts aren’t especially clear.
• Bass slightly lacking.

KitGuru says: The build quality and design are top notch but we can’t help but find the RGB LED “GAMING” text on the sides slightly tacky. The audio prompts are frustrating as you cannot turn them off but if you can look past this then the audio quality is impressive. For general consumption of music, movies and gaming these are very good PC desktop speakers.
