Oh these monitors are a great addition to a subwoofer. As a producer, you gotta have clear reference to what you're doing. I highly recommend these for the purpose of referencing your highs and mids. They handle the low end very well also. I'm really speaking on my preference of it's use though.

They’re pretty awesome, I live in a loft & haven’t gotten to crank it up to it’s highest potential yet, but so far their a very good sound, good for production, I’ve mastered a couple songs with them, so far, they’re just doing the job. Sweet buy.

Bought these for my son for his PC gaming rig. Loves it. The sound is so powerful and crystal clear with excellent bass. His sister keeps yelling at him to turn it down. Would buy again for sure.

"why all the 5 stars?"

They sound like trash. "yeah, but they're cheap, what do you want?" - what I want is for them to not exist. you're basically burning money if you want anything resembling clear, quality sound. The bass is just AWFUL. the highs are muddy. GARBAAAAGE.
