ORA4 Powered Bluetooth Desktop Speakers - Pair Matte Black

I have tested a lot of speakers in my days and I'm not surprised by much but these are a different story. The first thing I did was put them on some speaker stands and sit 5-6 feet back and played a bunch of different types of music. These are not large speakers. There very light and small. Like 8 inches tall. I was not expecting much bass below like 40-50 hz but when I played some test songs that have some 29-45hz bass and these speakers actually produced all of it. Down to 35hz I am getting a strong bass response something I didn't expect. They only have 4 inch woofers. I can even faintly hear bass tones down to 29hz. This is confirmed when I did a frequency response measurement with good bass down to 35hz. Than it rolls off quick below that. I have the klipish the fives and the are know for there size defying bass and yes they have more bass like double but the kantos go just as deep in a cabinet half the size. I also compared them to my edifier 2850db speakers that are huge with 8 inch woofers. They have decent bass but for 8 inch woofers there not as impressive as they could be but still some bass down to 30 -35hz. Similar frequency response to the ora 4. The ora 4 is like 8 times smaller and they dont sound weak in bass va the edifier which is wild. Edifier have more bass but the difference its not as big as the size difference would indicate The other great thing about these speakers is the balance of the sound as you increase volume. A lot of speakers will stop increasing bass above like 70% while the mid and high frequency get really loud making the sound unbalanced. This is what the fives do. But the kantos are just as balanced at max volume as they are at 40% also no distortion as all when pushed to max. The tuning is perfect and the sound is so clean and just on the warm side. This will prevent listening fatigue with long jam sessions. I plan on adding a kanto 8 inch sub soon just to get some more volume and fullness in my large room. I have them mounted to the wall 7 feet apart. I can use them with my TV if I want or just listen to music. I hightly recommend these speakers. It's weird they don't feel super premium when you hold them and feel the plastic there made if. But when they play music it all goes out the window. Also placement maters. Intried these on my desk and I where I was sitting was cancelling out the deeper bass and they didn't sound as big. But in my room where there mounted and I sit at the opposite wall the bass sounds huge. Rooms will always have areas where bass sounds super strong and deep and some spots where it almost disappears. Finding the right spot is important with these speakers.

I have been looking to replace my Bose Companion 20 which finally gave up the ghost. The Edifier M60 were good looking, small enough to fit on my desk and sounded adequate, but the treble were a bit harsh and the bass was rather underwhelming. To my unprofessional ears, the Ora4 are more in line with the Bose's warm sound, and at the same time exceed the Bose in both bass and clarity. They are significantly bigger than both the Bose and the M60, and I had some fears that placing them close to the wall & corner would negatively affect sound quality, but not so. Pros: - awesome sound - great looks Cons: - larger than some other good speakers - relatively expensive - stands sold separately - no covers, drivers may get dirty over time or damaged

This is a huge change from my AudioEngine+ speakers. When I first turn them on it was night and day, being in front of them feels like a mini concert, here's what I like: Pros: 1) The sound is crystal clear and the bass is perfect. Best pair of desk speakers I have ever bought hands down. 2) I like that the volume knob is in front. 3) I like how the build is rock solid, it doesn't feel like cheap plastic speakers. 4) I like how the cord connecting the both speakers just clicks-in and is very long, my audioengine speakers they had this screw were you would have to fit a copper wire in and squeeze the screw between the metal screw and the speaker, which was very annoying. 5) I like how it comes with rubber feet so they don't slide around the desk. 6) I like how it comes with a color code LED, yellow light means you're connected to the PC, blue light means it's ready to pair with your device. I use an iPad, I like how all you have to do is set it to blue LED and play music from your iPad and that it pairs automatically. Things I don't like: 1) Doesn't come with a USB-A - USB-C cord, if you want to plug into your PC then you have to buy it separately. 2) The knob doesn't have a stop point, so you always have to remember to turn it down before playing it otherwise you get a jump scare. 3) I wish there was a way to adjust the bass manually on these speakers, sometimes the bass can be a bit overwhelming especially if a song is designed to have lots of bass. But that's okay, you just have to adjust the bass on PC or on iPad which is easy enough. Did you notice I still gave it 5 stars? Yeah, the quality overrides all the little things that I found wrong with it!

Got the Moon color on sale for $250. The color looks better in person than in the photo. I had the Edifier M60 and the M3 all hooked up testing prior to getting these and while I thought both of the Edifiers sounded good in their own way, as soon as I hooked up and played the Ora4’s I was like “ya I’m keeping these”. The bass is much more present and plays much louder than the other two. The overall sound on these is great for the price I paid. I’m not knocking the Edifiers. The M3 sounds excellent for its price with more detail in the sound and separation. It didn’t get loud enough for me and the bass was ok but not as punchy and deep as the m60 or Ora4. The M60, smaller and noticeably louder with more bass than the M3. Sound is good but not as much clarity and detail as the m3 or Ora4 in my opinion (still a good value for its price). With that said I will be returning the Edifiers and keeping the Ora4 for good. I’m overall happy with them even though they are pricier than the other two. I only knocked off 1 star because they’re expensive. If it wasnt for the extra $50 off, I would have kept the Edifier M60.

Wow just wow .. better than more expensive speakers I tried. ( And I tried quite a few of them which you would see on general internet reviews) You probably won’t need a SUB the bass is so good. Bluetooth connectivity is fast ; small form factor and looks very cool

I waited a long time for these to upgrade my speakers. As an audiophile with a $3k headphone setup the time came when I wanted to invest in great sound for my desktop speakers too. I have mine on the angled stands, there isn't much to say other than I couldn't be happier, they sound incredible and clean, being near field they also don't travel through the entire house but when you're in the listening position in front of them they're loud and powerful with a sound which wraps around you and doesn't sound directional at all. I do not understand why people pair them with a sub, the bass is perfection, it vibrates my chest, I don't need it to vibrate the walls too. Even those lucky enough to live in a standalone house (certainly not an apartment/unit) on their own with distant neighbours, why ruin perfectly good music by drowning it in excessive bass? It makes no sense. I've also started using them for music production rather than dedicated monitors, as stated by Kanto they are perfectly suitable for that too, really they can do anything and do it better than anything else in the price range while being smaller too.

The sound quality is great. The volume is loud enough to listen to in a medium-sized room, but as someone who likes listening to music on high volume, I wish it were louder.

Great pair of speakers, beats all my old speakers by far. Great price too.

They sound really good. Recommended

I kept saying, "wow" the first time I listened to these speakers. The clarity, range and response is highly enjoyable. Impressive. A few downsides however: (1) the speakers are white, but all the cables are black; (2) they are not loud, even at maximum volume. So if you like to listen to your music loud, you should buy another set of speakers.
