🔊 Kanto YU2BAMBOO PC Gaming Desktop Speakers – 3" Composite Drivers 3/4" Silk Dome Tweeter – Class D Amplifier - 100 Watts - Built-in USB DAC - Subwoofer Output Review

I bought these instead of the Audioengine a2+ and I'm glad I did. I'm by no means an audiophile, but I know what I like, clear, crisp, tight sound. I don't like speakers that exaggerate frequencies to hide their flaws at other frequencies. These speakers have some mid-range boost, but not excessively, and are mostly linear. I ordered Audioengine corner stands (think they look better) and paired them with a Sub 8 (it was $20 cheaper than the Sub 6 at the time of purchase) and together they sound

These speakers sound good but are not without problems. They were interfering with my gaming headset, I couldn't use both at the same time. Finally, after some correspondence with the manufacturer, they sent me a diagram of how to connect it with two splitter cables, which I had to buy. I was only able to use a 3.5mm plug and everyone I spoke to said I sounded very dull. The speakers sound better when connected via USB, although you're denied access to controls that may be present, such as the…

Pros: Bamboo body looks very nice. Impressive volume from such small speakers and tweeters. . I don't like clutter on my desk and it gives me a lot of space. The included speaker wires are pre-tinned (soldered so the wires fit easily into the speaker jacks) for easy connection. Nice little gesture. The packaging is beautiful. The instructions are clear. I expected that from such a small speaker. Price. I think for $200 they should have sounded a little better. Especially at medium frequencies…

Damage: I ordered new kanto yu2 matte black speakers on Monday 23rd April. The speakers arrived two days after ordering but I paid standard shipping which made me a little suspicious. I opened the Amazon package and saw there was no pillow in the Canto box; the singing box was slightly damaged. I wanted to open the box, but there were layers of clear packaging tape on the labels. again strange, but not overly disturbing. Finally I opened the box and started taking out each piece. The cables…

My Bose Companion 20 speaker decided to fire me last week which prompted me to start looking for new speakers. I'm one of those people with sensitive ears that don't pick up tinny sounds very well. I searched and searched until I finally decided on these columns. I'll admit I was a little influenced by the style (love how they look on my desk!) but overall I was won over by the description and other reviews. I installed it five days ago and immediately ordered the right subwoofer, not because…

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've gone from $219 to $179! I can see they are up to $239 in price now I suggest you wait if you can as they are fluctuating in price a lot. These Kanto YU2's are MUCH smaller than the Eris maybe half that's the biggest benefit of how compact they are! Now when you turn them on for the first time, they sound low. There is no tone control like on Eris. Eris can…

I've tossed between these and one of the smallest Audioengines models. I chose them because of the price at the time. For the placement I wanted, I needed small speakers like the ones in this row. If I had more space I wouldn't even consider them because for the money if you can increase them it's much better. However, they are pretty good. Crisp and clean, lots of highs and mids. But there's almost no bass, and what's there quickly becomes distorted. So you definitely need a subwoofer if you…

I was worried they wouldn't fit enough on a desk with the 10 x 12 inch rule. I was originally going to get the YU4 speakers but I'm glad I didn't because there are many extras I wouldn't use (like bluetooth etc) that come at a price. For my purposes I wanted to use the pre-out from my Schiit Hel so I can switch between listening to music and movies in 2.1 mode and using a Sennheiser Game One headphone/microphone for gaming. It all works very well. I connected them to a Polk PSW10, great…
