Disappointing Sound Quality from Desktop Speakers

According to my experience, these speakers fail to deliver satisfactory audio output for computers. Although the price is reasonable, the sound quality is flat and lacks depth. The volume is limited and doesn't provide much of a boost. The only positive aspect is that they are compact and easy to transport. However, this doesn't make up for their inability to produce quality sound. A hopeful purchase that didn't live up to expectations.

Pros
  • Crisp and clear sound quality with powerful bass.
Cons
  • Weak set

Followed the recommendations of others and did EQ, ABSOLUTELY a MUST!

I bought the PreSonus Eris 3.5" first because they were so expensive and so much cheaper. 2 days after purchase, the shiny red YU2s dropped from $219 to $179! now at $239. I suggest you wait if you can, they seem to fluctuate wildly in price. These Kanto YU2 are MUCH smaller than the Eris, maybe half the size. That's the biggest benefit of how compact they are. Now when you plug them in for the first time, they sound flat. There is no tone control like the Eris. Eris can give you some bass, but

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Cool if you take the time to tweak them with a quality equalizer.

Audioengine S8 subwoofer (crossed at 80 Hz). I'll mainly talk about how they work with the subwoofer as I really don't find the YU2 adequate without it. If you want near-full sound, you need a subwoofer. Even with the out-of-the-box YU2 subwoofer, they have a tinny sound that is in dire need of a mid-bass boost. This is quite normal as we work with small 3" drivers. Luckily this is easy to handle with Equalizer APO (Windows) and the Peace UI for APO. This is a powerful PC equalizer for…

Pros
  • COMPLETE PACKAGE. You don't need to buy multiple computer accessories to enjoy quality sound. YU2 is ready to install right out of the box. It includes a power cord, speaker cables, a 3.5mm mini-jack audio cable, and a USB cable to connect your speakers to your computer.
