not as good a top-end.

The subwoofer produces a deep powerful low end that is never muddy and the 2-way satellites deliver warm mid-range tones and a bright hi-end

The only downside is that it lacks a low end; however, I bought it to listen primarily to talk radio while I'm working in the yard or making dinner.

The only way you will get better music quality, is to go with a set of studio monitors, but again, price and features will be a mixed bag... and unless you go into the higher price ranges, you wont get good low end response

Nice low end great battery life
