Review on πŸ”Š Kanto YU2WALNUT PC Gaming Speakers: Powerful 100W Amplifier, USB DAC, Subwoofer Output - Pair of 2 Channel Desktop Speakers with Composite Drivers and Silk Dome Tweeter by Cashout Harden

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Followed the recommendations of others and did EQ, ABSOLUTELY a MUST!

I bought the PreSonus Eris 3.5" first because they were so expensive and so much cheaper. 2 days after I bought the shiny red YU2s they are from $219 down to $179 see now they're up to $239 I suggest you wait if you can they seem to fluctuate in price a lot these Kanto YU2 are MUCH smaller than the Eris maybe half as much! Now you turn them on for the first time, they sound low. No equalizer like Eris turned on. Eris can give you some bass but YU2 can't. Well, that means you have to use EQ! With EQ (Equalizer APO w/ Peace UI) you can They already enhance excellent highs. But what works best with these speakers is to mute the bass and adjust the mids. The response kept fading and I was able to warm up the mids and get some semblance of bass tones. So much so that I can listen to music with heavy bass and endure it. However, classical and rock are much more fun. And singing! You shine! I am considering complementing my desk with a Jamo S808 subwoofer due to the slim profile and low price. Any decent subwoofer really should make a fantastic set for an office or small room. Of course, this makes the overall cost of your rig much, much more expensive than the $99 Eris price tag. I think the Eris can do without a subwoofer if you're really budget minded. Eris is great for creating and editing sound. Very technical, very flat. These YU2s are way more musical and entertaining for me considering how much time I'm spending at home during the pandemic. I wouldn't recommend them to those who just need a set of monitors and that's it. But if you want tiny speakers on your desk (smaller than most computer speakers) that absolutely shine with an equalizer and subwoofer, get them! Oh, and they look absolutely KILLING!

Pros
  • understandable even for old folks
Cons
  • hard to say
