A nice addition to my office

I looked at YU2 at first, but after realizing there wasn't room for them on my desk and they were out of stock I started looking at other options (3, 4, 5 and 6). Instead I chose to place the speakers on the bookshelves behind me, the YU4s were the right size. In short, they're the perfect size, pack a lot of sound for my office/studio, and I love that I don't have to physically connect anything to them. I've been playing with the Revain Echo Dot connected via the included cable, but I've found

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

A HUGE "FUNCTION " NOT MENTIONED

After a long search, I decided on the Kanto YU4 for a reason that is very important to me. Kanto is programmed with Logitech Harmony series remotes. I looked at several other similarly sized and reasonably priced speakers from Edifier & Audioengine and read stories of people who couldn't program the universal remote. The last thing I wanted was a separate remote control. They sound great for their size, not much bass but you can add a subwoofer (which I can't) and they sound great for TV and…

Pros
  • Alright!
Cons
  • Something is wrong

Almost perfect for the size, with subwoofer

Disclaimer: I am hard of hearing in one ear so please take that into account when reading this review. But as a videographer, I work alongside sound engineers and professional AV equipment, so I've picked up some audio skills over the years. The speakers themselves sound great, you'll need to pair them with a subwoofer to get bass vibration. In real conditions, when testing kanto yu 4, the frequency only dropped to 92 Hz at 3f. This means you hear the mids and lows but don't "feel" them. Highs…

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Dear

Consider it the perfect desktop COMPUTER speaker for enjoying music

For those who enjoy listening to music while plugged in, this (and possibly other similar ones) may be just what you need. I have high quality musical instruments. In general, audiophile music and computers are mutually exclusive. I'll use my expensive DAC, headphones and speakers for listening to music, and computer speakers for things like YouTube. Sound mechanisms are inconvenient when used simultaneously with a computer. Have tried different types of computer speakers over the years but…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions

worth your money. I don't think I need a subwoofer. I'm happy.

With Kanto yu4 speakers, Deadmu5's "Jaded" bass line sounds just as fantastic as it does on the "Prison Sex" tool. Michael Jackson's PYT is as powerful and clean as Yes's The Fish Schindleria Praematurus. Grand Funk Railroad - I feel it in the morning. (?) Forget it. Please play this song if you have speakers and your ears will get deeper into the sound. Second option: Prince "I want to be your lover." Empathy is just as intense. I listened to music for many hours and quickly switched between…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • AC outlet required
