These speakers provide a really solid bass sound as well as clear and crisp vocals. The sound is every bit as good as an expensive hi-fi system and will blow you away at high volumes. The controller is also very neat and allows you to control the volume and bass, as well as mute and switch the system on and off. If I had one small gripe it would be that the volume knob on the controller increases and decreases the volume in discrete intervals instead of being continuous. It can be a bit annoying at first, especially if you want a volume that's inbetween two intervals, but you eventually get used to it and the intervals are actually quite small. This is a small price to pay for the rich powerful sound you get from these speakers however, so I still give them 5 stars.
