Does anyone know how these sound in comparison to the SANS500 speakers?

Airplay is an Apple technology (analogous to BT) that allows your iPhone, iPad, iPod or Mac computer to connect wirelessly to the SANS500 - if you are using Pandora or iTunes, you are employing AirPlay to make the connection to you speaker. I have a new SB6121 modem and a newer router - all other connectivity is fine. I'm pretty sure the problem I'm having is with the SA-NS410 speaker. Perhaps it is unique to my unit - but it does make it almost unusable since I cannot rely on the connection from day to day. If you like the sound of the SANS500, you'd probably be happy with the SA-NS410. By the way, I have updated the firmware, but the problem has persisted for me.

Not sure how it is compared to the 500 ,but the 410 sounds pretty good but had a lot of trouble setting up. I was on the phone a few times for while with sony about the wireless. I run it direct with rca jack to dvd player. The wireless kept dropping.

I've had these speakers for some time. They've probably been upgraded several times since then.I use a high-end Onkyo receiver with great results that are still pleasing to the ear.

Yes they are. The bass is deep and the mids and highs are crisp. Mostly the mids. The system does output very nicely for speakers that size.

They sound fine. I run with a Denon surround receiver and sounds great, smaller room of course.

Yea dude, they're a pretty good set of speakers, I've read that they sound tons better if you hook them up to an amp though. But even hooked up to just my stock hu they sound damn good. They're worth every penny man.

A2+ is a better setup, but it is a little bass light due to the small size.They sound good alone, but a sub really fills them out and makes them that much better.Personally, I would not like to run them without a sub; I run mine with a Polk PSW10.

Just tried them with my Dell Inspiron N5040 laptop. Sounds great, with way more gain than needed (50% on iTunes all I can stand)

I have both and the speakers did fit. I am not crazy about the tone that they produce. More midbass than true lows

They are in my opinion the exact same. I use the TSI 400's with a CS 10 center and a Polk 10" sub, and Polk in the back, and an Onkyo head unit. The TSI's have a great mid and highs and are said to have great bass(I keep my sub at tolerable levels). The bass coming from the TSI's and sub is incredible!! Movies or music, they rock!!The specs are basically the same but the TSI's are "newer" with piano finish and such. I am very happy with them!!!

They definitely do sound better. It's like a richer and fuller sound. The difference in the lower frequencies can be heard most significantly. For sound quality, I recommend highly.

I mainly use them for music on a iMac 27" I also use the app boom, the speakers have seperate bass and treble controls, but I do watch movie trailers and creativeLIVE and they perform excellent, don't max the volume though, this is when they tend to go south at that point... Over all way better sound then the stock speakers...

Hi mateI had this pair to and they were ok but leaked sound and the Bass was not as effective as the xb920 The XB920 have more punch to the Bass unlike the XB700s

I thought so I really liked them but I just want definitive techongy speakers. But yes the sound very good and better then the older model. I do have a set forsale on here if you decide to buy them lmk

They will sound pretty decent, I never had a problem with distortion or static with mine and I don't have an amp on them. They put out pretty good bass for the price. I have had them for almost 2 years now with no issues.

They are awesome speakers. I think the 500 max is for if you have an amplifier on it, & 80 watts is max if coming straight off of radio

I'm running these as a 2CH setup and it sounds great (in my humble opinion) :)

Definitely, they're 90dB, which just puts them in the efficient category. I run them off of the Topping TP23 (which I also LOVE) and I'm at about 25% on the volume knob most of the time and 50% if I want it nice and loud and rarely ever past 50%. With the Topping, they're clean up to about 75%-80% on the volume knob, which will easily fill a few hundred square foot room. I use them with the Klipsch SW-350 for a wonderful 2.1 desktop setup that I use at least 30+ hours a week. I have a pair of Micca MB42X and a Dayton SUB-800 in another 2.1 setup and my Klipsch setup has a more forward sound which has a bit more presence, but still has great nuance when listening to musical scores, etc. Very happy with my purchase!
