How good is the sound quality given the low price?

gzt: Nice, where do you find these things?

 

 

 

People on cheapies.nz post the codes regularly which can also be found in The Warehouse app. If using the app, change your preferred store location to Wellington (can't remember the other locations) and it gives you 'giveit' perks, which gives you access to coupons like the '$10 off $100' above, and '30% off writing products' + others. Can still click and collect from other stores.

Pretty good. Decent bass and top end not too harsh. See reviews linked from 1st post.

I think they're great little speakers - I've got a pair of them in my toolshed and another in my bedroom. I quite like that both of the RCA inputs are active at the same time and there's no need to switch inputs: with the bedroom ones I have a chromecast audio plugged in to one input and the TV audio in the other one, and as they're not things I'd be playing at the same time, it just saves a step.

Got it. Login is required first. The coupon codes, do they appear in the Deals part of the app or arrive only as app notifications?

I have only heard some in less than ideal situations, and they were fine. Not all the fake loud bass like a UE boom or similar which seems to be most peoples idea of "good" sound, obviously not up with a decent set of monitors but its leaps above computer speaker type things and go to moderate volume just fine. You're not going to be feeling the bass but its not pretending to do what it isnt.

They're displayed on the main page. I open my app and they appear below the search bar.

Got a set.... just went to Warehouse rather than stuffing around with the online offer, heard too many things to bother.

 

Plugged them in, fired up FLAC copy of Jeff Waynes War Of The Worlds, and wow, I'm very happy with the quality and sound they put out, and thats without touching the treble or bass knobs :D

 

Theyre replacing my 20 year old Cambridge set.

Yeah i just popped in and grabbed a set, they had them setup so i tried the sound from my phone in store (bit of korn, bit of fat freddies) and they sounded great. My poor aiwa 'sound system' from like 1998 in my garage can finally be retired...

Interesting. I have a pair of 6" tall Audioengine 2 on my computer desk at home that could be 10 years old, the balance is off so I have to use the Windows sound tool to balance them which gets annoying. These are 10" with a bass driver twice as big so I would expect better bass- (AudioEngine is good.

 

Any opinions vs Audioengine 2? Or even just their suitability for music playback in the home office? Can you put the speaker with the volume knob on the left?
