Review on 🔊 Best Buy: Micca PB42X Powered Bookshelf Speakers (Pair) - 30W RMS, Active Near Field Studio Monitors - 2-Way, Black by Dred Swindler

Judging by the reviews, I was expecting something amazing. I think this is a quality budget buy for those who want smaller speakers but don't expect great sound here. I listened to them alongside my old Dayton bookshelf speakers and they didn't impress me at all. The sound is narrow and flat. The bass is cut high due to the size of the speakers and is very boomy in the range from 150 to 200 Hz. I couldn't balance it out without sacrificing the overall sound. Highs are okay but felt flat and lacked high end. Compared to my old $40 Dayton bookshelf speakers, they sounded very flat and had a narrow stage. By that I mean that the sound was rich in spectrum and I had a hard time choosing the position of the instruments in the live recordings. They weren't exciting and they weren't deep. But what do you expect for $100, battery life, and a tiny footprint? I guess they're pretty decent, all things considered. If you have money to spare, get an Audioengine A2 or wall mount some speaker brackets and go for bigger speakers. If you're on a budget, account for your exceptions accordingly, be prepared to play with the EQ a bit after you set it up, and enjoy.
