They are as smooth as silk.no harshness, or artificial boost of any part of the sound. So, when I bought my new Mac Pro, I decided to give the Horizon series a try. I have a had Boston Acoustics PC speakers before.and for their size they were pretty impressive. The bass is rock solid.and when cranked up the only rattling are the windows. Setup was pretty generic and straight forward.no surprises there. But when I hit them with my first iTunes song.WOW, what a surprise. In summary, you cannot go wrong in getting these beauties. Period.
For movies or gaming or music, I don't think you can go wrong with this system, and the price is more than reasonable for what you get. I am delighted with this system. The mids and highs are right on and the bass is perfect, it is not boomy at all,it is what it is supposed to be, Great Bass without taking over. Having a 65" tv, I don't need a 5.1 surround system for the computer. I would buy this again in a heartbeat.
Great sounding system. Unit does have a problem with interference (coming from your cellphone if nearby), though I just remember to never leave my cellphone near it. I got a great deal ($59.99 w/ FREE shipping) and love this unit as a computer system. Crystal clear sound and perfect bass response. I hear you can get a cheap adapter from radioshack to stop this minor problem. Overall a fantastic deal at this price.
But like someone else on here said - just get some shielding tips from Radio Shack or Monoprice, and you're good as gold.I got these for a steal at sixty five dollars with free shipping from Electronics Expo via Amazon. Let me compare the two. My fiance has the Logitech Z-2300 2.1 speakers, and I have these. I also considered the Logitech Z-4s for a long time, but they get mixed reviews and also seem to be lacking in the midrange. By the way, it's worth mentioning that I don't have the interference problem that others on here are speaking about. And if you don't like the color you get (I was hesitant about the mist), for five dollars you can get different colored speaker covers from the BA website :)I highly recommend these speakers, and I would pick these over the Logitechs any day (unless all I wanted were loud, thumping speakers for parties).
The Logitechs are lacking badly in the midrange, and after listening at loud volumes for a while, I suffer from listening fatigue.The MM226 are much more balanced (especially in the mids) and sound much cleaner. The sub is about twice as big as the MM226. They are smaller and quieter, but suit me perfectly in my one bedroom apartment. I LOVE that they have an Aux input on the control - I just plug in my MP3 player and go about my business. I'm just going to add to the already stellar reviews here. They are so balanced, even at low volumes (which is a problem for the Logitechs). Perfect in every way.
I suspect they may have static when using cordless telephones, it seems. I only have a cell phone so have no way of knowing if I'd have the same problem. It's smaller than I thought and sits perfectly under my computer desk. The Logitechs are definitely much louder, and have much more bass. For some reason the price on these is going all over the place.
I find it hard to believe that any speaker system doesn't have this feature nowadays - who doesn't want to hook up their mp3 player to their speakers.The MM226 sub doesn't look nearly as bad as it does in the picture (I have the mist colored model). It took maybe a month to fully break these speakers in, but once I did, they ROCKED. Check camelcamelcamel dot com to see what the price is doing, and they'll alert you when the price hits whatever price point you'd like.These speakers are worth twice the price I paid, however. Until Logitech starts updating and improving their speaker line, even though I'm a huge Logitech fan, I'd pick these BAs over those.
I am extremely satisfied with my purchase I made about 3 months ago. These replaced my 2.1 speaker set that came with my Dell that I should have replaced years ago. All ranges of sound are excellent. I would buy these again.
