5-Inch Powered Bookshelf Speakers: PC Speakers for Record Player

These speakers are an excellent value for the price and I thoroughly enjoy listening to them. Here are my thoughts. Appearance/Build Quality The speakers were packed very securely in their retail packaging, and there wasn't anything rattling or moving around when the package was moved. When I opened the box, everything was packed very well and great care was taking to protect the speakers. When i lifted the speakers out of their box and unwrapped them, I was very impressed by the weight of them. These aren't your flimsy, light weight garbage speakers. The speakers have a nice build quality and the wood finish looks great. You can choose the speakers in black, white, or wood grain color finish. The build quality appears to be excellent and visual inspection did not reveal any issues. Connectivity One of the main selling points of these speakers is all the ways you can connect them to your devices. For hardwire connections you can use AUX (single stereo cable with headphone looking plug), RCA (those red and white plugs that seperate the stereo signal into left and right individual plugs), USB (there is a male to male USB audio cable included that allows you to connect these speakers to a computer. There is a built in sound car inside these speakers, and once you connect the USB cable to the speakers, and the other end in a USB port in your computer, you should have a nice digital signal), USB flash drive (you can add audio files to a FAT32 formatted flashdrive that is 32GB or less in size. The audio file types supported on USB flash drive are; MP3, WMA, FLAC and APE), and of course Bluetooth 5.4 (so you can connect these speakers wirelessly to your computer, tablet or phone). So as you can see there are many audio type connections. Remote The remote is a great size, and it's not too small where you'll lose it easily. It also takes AAA batteries (shock! Not button cell batteries!). On the remote you can turn the speakers on/off, mute the speakers during audio playback, and select between all the various connection methods for these speakers. The build quality of the remote seems solid, and the buttons are a good size and they feel responsive and reliable. Controls On the right speaker you will find 3 knobs on the right size. The top knob turns on the speakers, and adjusts the connectivity modes (long press turns speakers on/off and quick presses toggle between the various connection modes), and then if you rotate that knob, you can adjust the volume. The knob in the middle is for terble, and you turn this knob towards you to decrease the treble, or away from you to increase the treble. The bottom knob is for the bass, and it works in the same fashion as the treble knob. Back side of the right speaker is where you'll find the power port, USB port, AUX port and RCA ports. The USB port is used for either inserting a flash drive to play back audio files, or to connect the included USB cable to your computer for a digital audio signal. On the back of both speakers is where the bass ports are, so I'd recommend leaving a little bit of space between the back of your speakers and wall. The protective cloth grilles are removable, if you prefer that look. I prefer to leave the cover on to protect them from damage. Sound Quality I wanted to start off here by saying that if you are an audiophile, stay away, obviously these speakers aren't for you and I'm sure you know that based on the price, and you obviously need to spend a lot more if you want to get flat, neutral sound. That being said, these speakers have surprisingly good sound quality for their size and price point! I am extremely happy with the sound quality. For my preferences, I found that when I put the treble and bass at the halfway point using the knobs (there is a notch that you will feel when adjusting the knobs, so you know where the halfway point is), that I found the bass to be overwhelming. So, I had to turn the base down a bit. I found the treble acceptable at the halfway point. I know that others may have a different sound quality preference, so adjust to your liking by listening to the music you love and even some spoken word to make sure they sound natural to you. These speakers have a 1" tweeter which definitely allows the higher frequencies to shine through better than your average speakers. There is also a 5" midrange driver to handle the lower frequencies. Please remember to keep your expectations in check, these speakers do NOT provide room shaking, vibrating bass notes you can feel in your chest! If you are expecting that kind of bass from your speakers, you need to look for a powered bookshelf speakers that have a wubwoofer line out and buy a subwoofer to go along with those bookshelf speakers. These speakers DO NOT have a wubwoofer line out. I personally do not want or need a wubwoofer, and I find the bass that thespeakers provide to be more than adequate! Overall I find these speakers to have excellent build quality, great sound, awesome connectivity options, and all at a great price1 Definitely great for using on a desk with a computer, or for filling sound in a small to small/edium size room. NOTE: I listen to a lot of podcasts and audio books on my tablet. When I connected to my tablet to the bluetooth on these speakers, and tried to listen to my podcasts, there was an issue. Whenever there was silence, and then audible audio would start up again, the beginning of that audio would be cut out. I reached out to customer service and explained the issue. This issue is very noticeable when listening to spoken word content, and the speaker pauses at the end of a sentence, and then resumes the next sentence. Either beginning of the first word of the next sentence, or the entire word, would be cut out before audio began transmitting correctly. This turned out to be a bluetooth audio streaming issue. There is now a software update to fix this issue, and I was provided the software update file from customer support and tried it with their very clear directions. The software update fixed all of these issues, and I am completely satisfied! Customer Support is very responsive, polite, kind and amazing! So if you are having bluetooth issues and streaming audio, please contact customer support and they will help you! Great proeuct that I thoroughly enjoy! In fact, I'm using it to listen to classical music right now!

I was really impressed with these speakers. The sound is clear, the bass is surprisingly good for their size, and they get plenty loud without sounding distorted. Bluetooth connected quickly, and setup was simple. They also look great with the wood finish. If you're looking for quality bookshelf speakers without spending a fortune, these are definitely worth it.

Will the love fest last? I may have to come back here at some point to update my review. Got them only yesterday. A couple years back I purchased the Klipsch ProMedia. Amazing sound with the 8" subwoofer. But quite a headache to use them. The only ways I had to connect them was Bluetooth and RCA. Well the computer does not have an RCA output, so it had to be Bluetooth. During playback, in a long silent, the speakers turned off and would come back on when sound resumed. But there was a delay when you lost a few seconds. It had this auto-off-on thing. So I had to download an update to fix that and load it to the system via the USB port. Yes, they had a USB port at the back, but it could be used only for loading updates. What were they thinking??? So they were not really computer speakers, but for a sound system. So they were a mess to use and I simply stopped using but rarely. A week ago I started to watch "John Wick Chapter 4". Great sound. Took a pause and turned it off. When I came back, the Bluetooth light was always on. No way to turn it off. The only way to change the input mode was if that light was not on. I even opened the back of the sub wanting to disconnect the Bluetooth, but it is integral part of the motherboard and no way to disconnect it. What a waste! Also the control knobs were at the back of the woofer. Yeah, there is a remote, but it did not do everything anymore as the whole thing was like frozen. What were they thinking! Almost $400 wasted. Enough complaining and back to the review of the Mevosto speakers. Got them yesterday and they are to be used with my PC in my case. I plugged them in an outlet and my computer, using Bluetooth, recognized them right away. Refreshing! If you don't want to use Bluetooth (like me, more on that later), you can use one of the 5 ways to connect them. Sound quality, don't expect the world, but real clear, crisp and some bass with the 5". Pleasant to listen to. So I first used the Bluetooth connection which worked well, but I noticed a very small delay with the sound and the movement of the lips of people on the screen. Not much, but enough to annoy me. so I decided to use the USB cable, something I couldn't do with the more expensive Klipsch. It is perfect. And the controls are easy to reach being on the right side of a speaker (If you are right handed). And the remote is very useful. From the remote, if you turn them on or off or change the input, a voice confirms your choice. I actually use only the remote. I selected PC Mode since I am connected with the USB cable and when I turn them on, the PC sees them right away. The remote will control the volume of the PC. When I turn them off, the PC returns to using the internal speakers automatically. So far, it is paradise. For now, since all I wanted was a better sound than the internal speakers of the PC, this does the trick.

They sound very good for the price! Excellent customer service! My first pair had an issue with the sound sometimes cutting out. Mevosto sent me new speakers, and these work perfectly!

These look and sound great! Easy to hook up & work without a hitch. The sound quality is quality across the spectrum, rich lows, clear mids & crisp highs.

Bought this on sale for $89 and the sound these things put out is incredible. The treble and bass adjustments work great and I was able to tune it in to just the way I like my metal to sound. Listening to Pantera's Vulgar Display of Power right now and it sounds amazing and chunky. These things definitely punch way higher than their price. Having the remote is really nice to adjust the volume and switch the inputs with it if needed. I highly recommend these speakers for whatever you're going to listen to!

Have these connected to my PC replacing an old sharp home stereo system. Quality is just as good. I have a few select songs i play that i'm certain what they should sound like. I adjusted the treble about 2 to the right from center, and the bass about 3 to the right from center and everything sounded like it should to me. They can get really really loud on PC, i usually keep mine around 20-30 for everyday youtube and video watching and it's plenty loud. My only complain is the AC adapter has a box end instead of a standard two prong plug taking up valuable surge protector space. Also the AC cord is kind of short, about 3-4 feet at best (i didn't measure it)

Overall sound is pretty good. Its clear with nice bass for their size. The sound can be a little bit muddy but for the money I can get by. They are pretty quick to set up which was nice. I run them mainly via bluetooth off my laptop and I don't know what is going on but it will cut out when things get quiet in certain songs. And when I turn on pandora and start playing a song it pops. It does this when you hit play after putting a song on pause. It is pretty loud when it pops as well. If they didn't do this I would probably would give them 4 or 5 stars. I also have to disconnect and reconnect to it every once in a while as I will be connected but no music will play. Thankfully its a pretty easy process. Overall I am reasonably happy with them despite the short comings.

They sound great and have all the features you need. Don’t expect an audiophile level experience as they are only $110, but the value is very strong, more than good enough for essential PC audio and music (hiphop sounds amazing). You could use it for gaming too, the sub is big enough to give explosions and gunfire real body. For this price a 5" sub is really impressive, I could've got one with a smaller 4" sub and 60 watts but I'm listening at a desk so I don't need all the extra power. These still get really loud I never surpassed 70% volume. USB audio for the cleanest listening experience, using these with my pc and apple music to play lossless music. Bass is really impressive for the size these can physically shake your desk, they don't distort at high volumes either which is impressive for $100, the tweeters are silk dome for smooth, fatigue free treble. Bluetooth 5.4 means I can cast music to it when my pc is off, the remote and manual bass and treble knobs are a huge bonus. Similar speaker sets have less features overall, this seems to be the strongest pc speakers for $110 if you have the space necessary. Don’t listen to the people saying they sound bad, they are better than “official” brands at this price for example Edifier is $40 more and has a much smaller subwoofer at 3.5” versus 5” in this one. The combination of features these speaker have makes them a clear choice for value. I needed PC speakers and only had $110 and I was incredibly impressed when they arrived. The sound is really big for the size, they push as much sound as my $400 Samsung TV bar and have a similar amount of bass. Made of real MDF and with bass ports on the back for ultimate acoustics for the price. If these are on sale and you need pc speakers just get them I have a hard time imagining anyone being disappointed.

Great sound

Let's face it, these are not audiophile quality speakers. But, given the low price, they punch well above their weight. I bought them for my 9 year old daughter; in her smallish bedroom they fill the room and make even her poor quality Crossley record player sound 10 times better. Set up is simple and there are lots of different connections: she currently has the lap top connected by Bluetooth, the record player by the Aux, and the tv with the 3.5mm stereo jack (supplied, along with the other cables and a remote control). This is amazing value for money and for a young girl playing Taylor Swift records or streaming from the lap top the sound is excellent! The speakers are not too big and look really nice on the shelf. I am hugely impressed with the sound you get at this price. Highly recommended.

Lo uso todos los días, una compra magnífica. Potente, graves poderosos y agudos nítidos con medios muy desarrollados para su tamaño. Estético y muy práctico, bluetooth nunca falla y detecta automático. Mi teléfono es mi equipo de música con ellos. Muy contento

Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo! Cercavo un impianto da mettere sotto il gazebo esterno e sono rimasto meravigliato dalla qualità del suono, dettaglio e bassi. Alzando il volume non distorce e la potenza stupisce. Lo ascolto collegandolo con lo smartphone, sono soddisfatto per ora.
