Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Scarlett ★★★★★

I was surprised how much clearer the mids are compared to my old desktop speakers—really brings out vocals in recordings. The tone control is a nice extra, letting me tweak the sound for late-night listening without losing detail.

Olivia I. ★★★★★

The tone knob is what sold me—I can go from flat reference mixing to a warmer, bass-heavy sound for casual listening without touching my DAW. These little 4.5" drivers fill my small room way more than I expected for the size.

Charlotte ★★★★★

Been mixing on these for a few weeks and the tone knob is genuinely handy, I can go from flat reference to a warmer, bass-boosted sound for casual listening without touching my DAW. The 4.5" woofers hold up surprisingly well in my small untreated room.
