I'm a Mac user and my main use for these things iTunes and Internet radio, games or movies, so I can not attribute Harman / Kardon SoundSticks II price of the product of sound processing decrease of 5.1 to 2, 1.
But on these long haul now, before writing my review, who has not listened to it before writing a review cough * * cough mmilovic not really need to talk. I could see the neighbors complain to think about these things. In fact, they sound as good as if not better than my bookshelf speaker system.
I do not buy Harman / Kardon SoundSticks II for the best price audiophile by any means, I can not say how it at the lower end, mid-range, high or how much hissing or cut-off they want to have. I know exactly what they are ideal for what I get for sound, and I never left the room, where I want to "11". If these things are cranked to 10, to hear you can not even speak to someone in your area.
Well, in most cases you will be flooded with computer speakers used at high volume, distortion, and the like. Not these, they sound like a deep and rich at high volumes, as they do playing normally.
Honestly, after payment buy Harman / Kardon SoundSticks II for the best price of $ 150 from buy.com? I could not be happier with these things. I've seen Mac speakers have come and gone for almost 3 years, but I do not know Harman / Kardon SoundSticks II prices, "they saw exceeded HK 2.1 's terms of quality. At least that's what Apple Store people and My Mac dealer tell my agreement to mind.
