The sound from this is definitely not audiophile quality. Can other reviewers read my review and comment please? Not sure if I missed something.

The sound quality could have more to do with the content than the device. Because of MP3's comparison they don't reproduce audiophile quality source. On the other hand, Pandora sounded much better.

Peak... This is no way a great sound system. It just plays music. The sound quality is mediocre.

I'm not an audiophile, so I can't answer specifically to your question about being better. But, I believe that's a preferential thing. I personally am using it as just a center channel speaker in a 7.1 surround sound setup in my home theater. and, I love it along with everybody else that comes over.

So far no problem, but I have used it very few times because I was unimpressed by sound quality. Have charged through the charger, not through my laptop, if that makes any difference. Will watch for problems. Thanks for heads up.

I'm afraid I'm not the person to ask. I'm not an audiophile and the only reason we purchased this is for use with our TV. Both my husband I use headphones, but we each need different amplification. This allows us to connect the two headphones and each of us can adjust the volume level to our own comfort. All I can tell you is that we are both satisfied with the quality of the sound. And, believe me, it WILL go MUCH louder than either of us is comfortable with.

High end is definitely exaggerated on these. It borderlines on harsh but could be described as just extremely crisp depending who you ask. I have tinnitus and I've started to realize that the increased high end on these cans are irritating it quite a lot, even at low volumes.

Sorry I can't comment on its recording quality since I only have knowledge of the quality of sound when playing pre-recorded cassettes. You can always give it a try and return it via Amazon's return policy if you're not happy with the quality of recorded sound. Amazon is most gracious with its return policy. Good luck!

I think the quality of the sound the mic transmits is better than the sound of the headphones. These are not audiophile by any means.

I seem to have the same problem. I am not well versed in audio components and assume that that must be normal. I am hopeful someone will have a better answer or can offer a solution.

I'm completely satisfied with mine. Good sound for the money. The "aux in" feature is a nice touch also.In regard to whether they're for audiophiles, I'm definitely not an audiophile, so no clue. I think they sound good. They don't distort my music and have adequate base considering how small they are.These are little computer speakers, not stereo speakers. They are vastly better than the speakersthat came with my Dell computer. They aren't as good as the ones attached to my receiver (which costabout 7 times more).

There is no probably about the sound. It is bad. Sounds like music and headphones are playing in a tin can.

Well this truly is a very important point/question/answer. I live in a town house and I need speakers that wont be heard by neighbors, this is the true audiophile's lifestyle problem. What you have said about the sound being heard more in the listening room than in the entire house would actually be a good marketing argument for Martin Logan to promote this speakers. Ill test this out. Thanks guys.

The bass isn't that great, just okay. If you want good bass.. here's a simple solution... go to your local pawn shop and buy a powered subwoofer (the ones that connect to a reciever sound system) and connect it to the control unit. That's what I did and it sounds great. Cheaper than buying a receiver, subwoofer and speakers.

Nope, sorry! You get adequate sound reproduction without much power behind it. I would suggest that because the speakers are of, ah, "minimal quality" the base probably isn't too deep. For what it's worth, I haven't been bothered by the base on any of my mp3 songs. Hope that helps!

I'll add my $0.02. The sound isn't great and it's not loud enough. However, I found using headphones takes the sound quality from a 2 to a 10+. You could also purchase a small usb plug speaker.

Please consider getting a receiver with a Sub-out. The sound quality will be improved beyond your wildest dreams.

I'm looking for something like this but I am very funny when it comes to the sound. I need to know if the quality is good. What do you think?
