    • Good deep bass and great all around sound from these small speakers
    • Within a year I may live in a dorm, my family's house, and an apartment for a summer internship so having speakers that sound big but are small enough to fit in a small tub in the back of my car is a huge!The bass is rich, mids punchy, and highs clear

    • Words can not describe these speakers the bass is excellent and the sounds is mind
    • The bass is awesome, the quality is crisp and clear
    • Compared to studio monitors (cheap ones), these not only lack mid-range response, but also, mid-range, highly separated stereo effects are attenuated because the sub handles the mids as well as bass
    • im not sure what active speakers at this price range are supposed to sound like, but they have great bass and mids, and treble that is balanced (id like a little more for rock and metal, but its never harsh)
    • The design is unlike any other multimedia/computer speaker with two, clear conical satellite speakers and a rounded, lit subwoofer enclosure with a control for adjustable bass output
    • The mid-bass is still somewhat directional, and still sensitive to the placement.
    • The sound quality (especially the bass) is excellent
    • Subwoofer is fine and produces adequate bass
    • Amazing sound and great bass.
    • The sound is the best, bass is good but not overpowering, and there's a good warranty
    • The sound is clear and crisp and the bass is adjustable
    • There's very good bass response from the subwoofer, but I wouldn't turn the bass volume up over halfway
    • The clear plastic bass unit is great to look at, but cannot match the sound of a square wooden box - as is true for concert halls.
    • For not a jaw dropping amount of money, this speaker system provides spectacular bass and volume range, remaining incredibly crisp even when the volume is maxed out
    • The only thing is that the sub speaker is not made for loud bass
    • Bass from the sub woofer will shake your entire room while mids/lows are crisp and very clear
    • The speakers were pretty dope and drop some really nice bass with the sub that's included
    • I strongly recommend.+ Booming bass

    • any good pair of speakers or headphones needs to BREAK-IN before full performance!!and these little speakers can be really LOUD.Look cool..bass takes a little bit to break in then sounds really well, I left them on playing random music when not in the house for a couple of days

    • I use them with my iMac and they very necessary since the built in speakers don't have adjustable bass
    • Great bass and treble without being overbearing or muddy
    • The satellite speakers have a really cool heavy weighted bass too.
    • If you are at a Workstation or desk like I am, place the Subwoofer under your desk for optimal bass response from the Subwoofer
    • SOUNDThey tend to have very low mid range, very crisp highs and punchy bass
    • However, is known that the powerful bass effect of the Bose speakers only makes that: an effect; and the music is not as clear as supposed to be
    • Slowly going louder, more powerful, more bass; just getting my toe wet before jumping in.
    • Very high quality sounds with solid bass
    • Also, for those who like to save electricity, the on off switch is on the subwoofer, which is usually on the floor, making turning on/off the system or adjusting the bass really annoying

    • As I generally like good meaty bass, with high crispness, this is not bad

    • The sound quality takes them over the top, with crystal clear quality and the best bass in any speaker set even near the price range

    • Absolutely the clearest sound I have ever experienced, The bass is amazing as well this relatively small unit really packs a punch for sound deepness and shakes the area in which it is set up.
    • Since I recently acquired these and a set of similarly-priced Logitech speakers (Z623 - $120 - http://amzn.to/1tLwJoI ),I though I'd take a moment to share how they compare:Harman Pros:- gorgeous, unique style - a real eye-catcher- a little louder than the Logitch in the mid and upper frequencies (thanks to the four cones in each speaker)Logitech Pros:- slightly cheaper (by ~$20)- louder bass, owing to the solid subwoofer cabinet- easier to handle and move- slightly more reliable sound quality (the Harmans have a few select frequencies that get a bit wonky
    • There is a little distortion at high volumes when the bass is turned up on the woofer, but not that bad
    • Great speakers and wonderful bass!
    • The 12 year old Logitech's gave a much fuller sound than these do - "outstanding bass performance" in the HK description is quite a stretch

    • The bass is ridiculous
    • The bass is adjustable for your sound level
    • Great bass response and great sound

    • and you're ready for some intense bass!!

    • so they don't slide around, (3) the bass is adjustable on the subwoofer, (4) you can adjust the volume by simply tapping the -/+ buttons on one of the speakers, and (5) the setup time was quick

    • Good bass, makes my mouse jump everywhere.
    • Clear bass from the sub, and a decent range of sound from the satellites
    • The only part of the system that's capable of playing such frequencies is the sub and when dialed high enough to fill in those frequencies it becomes too boomy and colors the whole spectrum with a thick, muddy hum.- Bass is inaccurate and muddy

    • My only complaint is that the rubberized feet of the speakers have a tendency to retain dust, necessitating a through cleaning.
    • And the woofer leaves nothing to be desired: it thumps, hums and bumps exactly as you would want
    • Great B A S S
