Excellent, clean, and balanced sound! Nothing compares to what I have heard before. The musical instruments stand out. Tight and punchy bass, detail in the mid frequencies, crystal clear highs. The frequencies do not "go from here to there". I can hear the music clearly from the bathroom, without the quality being affected by distance or the door. They can handle the 50 Hz properly. I mention this because others claim to handle 30 Hz but obviously they can't.

They are not "lifeless", but they are also flat. If you want, you can reduce the bass or high frequencies from the back. Additionally, the sound does not distort if you increase the EQ digitally from the PC.

A drawback for me is that they do not have volume control. They are quite loud on their own and I have to lower them from the computer (usually the volume on the PC needs to be at 40-50). Obviously, this can be solved with an amplifier. Also, the black wood veneer wears off more easily compared to others.
