One of the best looking speakers out there for Casual and Gaming in computer setupsUNBOXINGUpon opening, it was really well packaged from Kanto, they had thick styrofoam from top to bottom, covered with a double cardboard box snuggled in. It came with everything that was mentioned in the description.SETUPSetting up the DAC with the PC is pretty much plug and play, the audio quality is quite astonishing on its own.Setting up with Bluetooth was such a breeze in the park, all I had to do was push the front knob to search and/or on the remote button. The speaker knows when there’s audio playing from the source and it will automatically connect and start playing, which is super nice, so you don’t have to go to the Bluetooth settings every time, as long as it remembers your device.AUDIO EXPERIENCE – 1 YEARin terms of audio quality, as a casual listener. I really do enjoy listening to these speakers, but they can get a little fatiguing a bit. There are two ways to prevent this: turn down the treble by -3 (or more) on the remote, I found out that it is around in the 3K to 5Khz range is very high in the graph out of the box. You can also get EQ APO on windows to adjust it which I have done; it really made the speakers sufficiently better in terms of clarity, separate instruments and bass in long listening sessions. *ITS WORTH DOING*Going through all the songs and movies you’ve enjoyed is a whole new experience with these, the bass is beautiful for its size, you wouldn’t need a subwoofer.DISLIKEThe one thing I didn’t like was that you’re kind of forced to use the remote or get up to the speakers to switch the options you want to play in (PHONO, RCA, OPT, USB, BT), would really love to see Kanto make a dedicated App and buttons for controls in the next line up.Needs EQ APO if you want to get most of these speakers, but it’s quite easy to set it up.Other than that, it sounds great out of the box.
