I got tired of using headphones and earbuds, but my computer speakers were awful, so I decided to step up to the Mackie CR4, and I'm happy I did.These speakers are for near field listening, not for filling your room with a wall of sound.

  Affordable, great sound, easy setup. Well built, solid cabinets.

  Bass may need minor tweaking

Bought two sets of these for our studio. They do the job pretty well. Only complaint worth taking a star is that they get a bit of self-noise at higher volume. I'd suggest keeping the volume at 50% and using other points in your signal chain to boost the volume.

I have now bought 3 pairs of these for different locations, they're a low price with good accurate sound for a barebones amateur home studio. It would be 5 stars but 1 of my 3 pairs crapped out after about 2 years of use.

Great build quality, they look better than the pictures online. I wasn't sure about the green trim but they look good. I'm using for a multimedia/gaming PC and replaced 10 year old mini towers with 4 1" speakers on each side. I didn't know how good Iheart.com streaming music could sound.

  Excellent bass and high frequency's.

  None so far, my only suggestion is for Mackie to add a button or method to automatically turn power on and off for PC use.

The side with the power cord, Plays first when augmenting volume. and plays louder till about 1/4 volume.I had to push the louder one further back to get an sen sound. looks funny but ... Nice Quality when acoustics are right!

Get the bigger ones for more bass. however these things bang! Much heavier than I thought they’d be. I paired them with an 18 for bass only and omg. Pound for pound best bang for the buck. Stupid clear highs too. If you can’t go rokit get these

Have owned for 3 weeks now.I use these as tv speakers for an LED tv with no optical output. Sound is pretty good. Speaker terminals on the back are cheap. Other than that, I am happy with them.

  Good sound, nice size

  Cheap speaker terminal connections on the backs.

These speakers have a large and clear sound for the size of them. Also they are very versatile with the connections. They work great with my Macbook. I would recommend these to others.

Bought these as reference monitors for home recording. They are just too easily overwhelmed and begin to distort and get fuzzy. I'm by no means cranking them up, but even at 3/4 volume with a reasonable signal (-3/-6 db), they distort (fuzzy) too much to be usable as true reference speakers.

I am very happy w this product, these speakers are better than I thought they would be for the price, many reviews ive read before purchase stated that these could use more bass, not in my opinion, the bass packs a nice punch, anymore bass would be too much for my taste!
