Great speakers with major flaws Bluetooth

I've tried pretty much every popular 2.0 speaker in this price range and they've all failed. While these speakers weren't perfect, they were the best I've found and kept. They have great sound for their price and size. It's not the most natural and crisp sound I've ever heard, but they sound really great and full. The bass is strong in close proximity, but in a large room the sound doesn't transfer very well and the bass sounds boomy. The design is very cool and looks great next to my iMac. All in all, this is a solid choice if you're looking for a 2.0 system with a compact, modern design. If you can fit bigger speakers or a 2.1 system and don't care about looks, you could probably do better. My only big problem is with Bluetooth, it's always been awful for me. The sound crackles all the time. This is not a problem for me as I used a wired connection. However, Bluetooth cannot be switched off and the device is always in pairing mode when it is not connected. So if you have a wired connection and live in an apartment building, you can expect your neighbors to connect to your device from time to time. This resulted in many nights waking me up in the middle of the night to music coming out of my speakers because someone in the neighborhood had accidentally plugged them in. But the worst. If someone connects to them, it's impossible to disconnect and reconnect. So the speaker is connected to someone else's device and I can't connect my own device to it or even use it in wired mode unless they disconnect their device. Right now my speakers are basically dead because someone else is connected to them and I can't connect to them until hopefully they turn off their device. This is a HUGE bug and one that has left me very frustrated.

Pros
  • Portable A/V
Cons
