Are these really worth $95? Anyone compare them to the cheaper units?

$95 is way too much. I bought my package back in May, 2013 and paid total of 34.94 for a 3 pack. I think the product is discontinued and that company may be pricing the product off from the reviews.

No way...I only bought them after getting a recommendation for this specific product and I still see signs of vermin! Argh! I have done better with a variety of sticky traps. What ever you use, wear gloves and defer from leaving your scent on the device (glue trap or regular ole neck-snapping traps). DO NOT get this product and save your money.

I have not compared with other units, however I didn't pay $95.00 either. I haven't seen or had to clean any cobwebs in my home. That alone is worth the money. I have a total of 6 in my home. plug it in and forget about it. I also have had my home insulated and sealed this summer, I'm sure that also helped.

I think I paid $12 for 4. They work great. No reason to spend $95 that I can see.

No. I live in Iowa and it does not work for me. I bought horse apples or hedgehog apples. Mother nature still works best against nature. I hate to say it....not worth it at all.

One use for the pair and I haven't tried to power them indirectly with a usb adapter direct to an electrical outlet yet so don't know if that will work or not. Great sound for Small speakers and price and some cpu configs allow u to set them up as surround rear speakers if u ever get a better system down the road. My dell Inspiron i3000-3847 (bought via blind.com they Amazon for under $400 and as fast as a $2000.00 desktop) desktop set it up that way when I hooked my Bluetooth Sony soundbar and sub up and forgot to disconnect these. Very good vocal sound/treble for price but if u are a big music/movie buff u will want to upgrade and use these as ur backups like myself One use for the pair and I haven't tried to power them indirectly with a usb adapter direct to an electrical outlet yet so don't know if that will work or not.

I don't know how good your DAC is, but if your going to use it as a transport there may not be that much difference between the two. The 95 is great if you use the internal DACS/ analog out, otherwise save your $.

Mine's ok. I don't use them as my primary speakers though and I don't mind. I'd suggest getting some good portable speakers (possibly bluetooth...).

A receiver of 100 USD will not be adequate to get great sound from these speakers. They require fairly medium/high power and low harmonic distortion to deliver their magic.Using a cheap amp you wont hear the difference between these and a set of 49.95 budget speakers.

Nope for me too! See John's answer--the sound bars are good if a bit on the pricey side....for possibly more kicks at a bunch less dough grab one of Logitech's powered 2.1 systems...you'll get an e-z way to connect them to your TV [mini earphone jack], 2 satelite speakers and a nice little subwoofer. These are usually on the bright boomy side but I find them nice for contemtorary music. I did mention prices, right? I paid under 40 bux for my last set of logitech's...I'm not sure about these soundbars other than they were very costly at one time. So, do the math and spend well--Happy & Merry

We have a Sony and they work just like the Sony for a lot less money and I like the shape better. I believe they are a great deal, only thing better then being free.

Price is for one. For this level of performance, it's a bargain. Similar professional units cost closer to $100 each.

I discovered the under 5 dollar inckudining delivery ones from amazon and have never haad an issue with any of the 8 i am usining now. i am usining an hdmi switch box for 2 vid game systems which are then fed into my sony HTSS360 receiver then from there to the tv no issues what so ever. had to use a switch box because there are only 3 inputs one for a dvd player and the other for the direct tv box then the third is for the output from the switchbox. Gget the cheap ones , they perform just as well as the 100 dollar ones for most applications.

I love mine. They are more a convienence than a permanent way to play. They do exactly what they were designed to do and the sound great for what they are.

They're pretty good! I bought mine a couple of months ago and they sound great. the 7.1 surround sound is a little overkill but they make for a fantastic 5.1 surround sound headset, just make sure your computer has enough audio jacks at the back for all the wires!

i think so. i bought 2 awhile ago around $300. little heavier than i thought but decent looking and they have very nice and warm sound for 16'x16' room. very happy with them.

Yeah I would if you want to save money. You can get them on ebay for less than 200 used.

Sorry but I just saw this. Yes, they sound great at any volume. Low end is very good as well when quiet and thumping when cranked a bit.
2075620
Well, you get what you pay for and for a little over 100 bucks, they're not all that bad. They don't have a very clear quality but the volume goes up pretty high for the little thing! Ultimately, the higher the volume the less clarity. Hope this helps!

The Reference Series appears to be a better overall speaker. It handles slightly more power, seems to have a substantially larger magnet and a deeper mounting depth...which comes at a cost. I have 4 pairs of the cheaper speakers used for whole home audio. For ~$34, they are decent speakers. Depending on your ear and how the speakers are installed, you may or may not be able to tell a difference. For example, I have 2 pairs mounted in the basement ceiling whereby they have the entire truss space to act as the speaker 'box'. These sound noticeably better than the ones on the main level that have a minimal box and surrounded by attic insulation. If your ear is more 'tuned' and you plan to use the speakers for home theater, you may consider stepping up to the Reference Series. I probably would have if they were available when I installed them. But again, at $34, I have no regrets. Hope this helps.
