Edifiers

I bought these speakers when they were more than $100 cheaper and they were worth it. Donโ€™t think they are for $400, though.

Donโ€™t get me wrong โ€” they sound quite good. They are a real step up on the compy from my ancient Logitechs from the early 2000s. I can distinguish lyrics better now and the sound stage is much more separated and the bass less muddy. My advice, then, is wait till they drop back below $300 and snap โ€™em up. They are quite nice for that price.

They do have a wonky weird remote, though. Doesnโ€™t bother me much but ymmv.

Update: Looks like you can snag them right on Edifierโ€™s site for less than three bills. Still not quite as cheap as I managed to get them but worth it for that kinda cabbage.
