One of the best offers, glad I bought it.

These speakers cost a TV, and they are connected to it via RCA; watching movies and playing on them is one hundred times more enjoyable than the sound from the TV; the second RCA is connected via Jack to Alice Mini; sometimes I ask her to turn on the music; and finally, I switch to BT when I want to play music from my phone. Moreover, switching can be done by simply pressing a single button on the remote (but you can also press the volume control on the speaker itself).
If you are looking for a straightforward and very adaptable method to produce sound in the first place, then you should look no further than these speakers. If they were thirty to forty percent more expensive, I would still purchase them. I wanted a piece of equipment that could accommodate all three of my different sound sources.
I would love to acquire speakers that are two times more expensive, have more sound detail, a broader stage, and a more equal frequency response; but, I will only do so under the condition that all of the little details and convenient sides, such as these, are also there. Yet, there were not any examples like that at all (more expensive models from the same company have a larger volume margin, a larger size, an older BT, but the sound did not differ much).

Pros

- Incredible acoustic quality for the price! You need to be aware of the fact that these are not monitors and are not speakers designed for audiophiles; rather, they are more affordable speakers that come with a variety of extra features. We listened to and contrasted these speakers with another model that cost roughly the same amount as these as well as a wireless speaker made by Harman Kardon that cost 16,000. So, there was absolutely no confusion among anyone over which option to pick! These two little speakers created a melodic sound that was both full and pleasant, with only a slight amount of distortion. It was a pleasure to experience the stereo panorama. The speakers allow for adjustments to be made to both the bass and the treble, and as soon as I made those adjustments, the sound became completely satisfactory. - Adequate volume for the apartment (for me, even with a significant margin, I don't understand at all how they write under 60W speakers that it's plenty for a 15m2 room). When the speakers are turned on at 40W, they can be heard clearly from two adjacent neighbors. - Easy manipulation through the use of the remote control (change the connection source in one click, control tracks via bluetooth, change the volume, mute mode and turn off) - A great number of connectors (2 rca, optical, coax) - Compatibility with connections made by Bluetooth (Version 5) - The color of the LED on the front panel indicates the source that is currently connected (blue LED for Bluetooth, red LED for optical and coax, green LED for linear, and the LED blinks while the device is in silent mode). - All the necessary cables are included in the package (optics, rca to rca, rca to jack, speaker cable to connect a second speaker) - Compact size and great design (you can remove the front protection with acoustic cloth) - The phase inverter is located in the front (can be placed close to the wall) - The capability of attaching a subwoofer

Cons

The only drawback that comes to mind is an odd additional mode that can be activated using the remote control. This is the only thing that bothers me about the product. Because of it, the sound immediately becomes dull, ringing, scratchy, and louder, eradicating any lovely enveloping loudness that was before present. The significance of it is completely lost on me. But since I don't use it, I'm not concerned:)
