Wow. :twitch:
You best have some high-quality audio files to play through these! They are beautiful though. If you are into that sort of thing.
Ok, now.... how this brand compares to B & W and stuff ?
Seems to me that it might be overpriced because of the design
PS: Speakers are not meant to be cool, they are meant to sound cool.
Costs £86 for a 2.1 sound system with horrible sound quality and more silly see-throughness : /
I just don't understand why people buy from this brand.
Hot steam from something that looks like ice D:
Not really great speakers + "fancy" design" = heavily overpriced. My 20$ Labtec PC speakers do their job just fine.
'good enough' is the better term.
Now if they were crystal skulls...
Its one of those things that look so nice on a picture and yet so shitty in reality.
Imagin if it was 2.1 with a Sub. The Sub would look like a brick of ice lol
I would get it if it was 2.1 :(
unless the engineers are actually stupid.
Engineers tend not to be luckily XD
