Great Buy.
By Abdel B. on Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2020
I was extremely skeptical at buying this product when I first looked into it. There weren't many reviews on it that were actually helpful so I'm going to go over a couple of things that I think will help anyone looking for speakers.First and foremost if you are making music and you're using a DAW out of the box the speakers work great. They are very comfortable to the Mackie cr3. And for a cheaper price. There is great bass response all the way down to 39 Hertz. The highs are extremely clear and the sound as well separated. The Tweeter also sounds great. And the flat response is also amazing for making music at this price.Now if you are buying these to listen to music on a computer for example the setup is extremely simple is as simple as Plug and Play. However you will not get the best sound out of the speakers if that's all you do. You will have to download some form of equalizer. I personally recommend a program called PC equalizer. After you download The Equalizer you will have to change the values throughout the equalizer to get the best sound out of the speakers. I will add a picture of my preferred setup for the equalizer.Naturally the speaker sound very flat but thank God they are built with an amp that can output stereo sound and that's the reason for the equalizer.Now if you want to plug in this up to a TV directly he will not need an equalizer. If you are using the Bluetooth function with your cell phone or a tablet or something like that you will not need an equalizer the natural sound to Bluetooth is actually quite different than being directly plugged up with an RCA cable.If you are looking for a competitor to the Mackie cr3 is for example or the PreSonus speakers and you want to spend less than $100 these speakers will definitely surprised you once you have them plugged in.When you hold them in Hand of speakers themselves are not heavy. However the build quality is very good. The covers over the speakers are very flimsy so I would say be careful with how you interact with them. However if we are basing this review purely on sound quality I would highly recommend these speakers for those listening to music or those making music.

Cheap quality but serves it purpose
By Eric L on Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2021
This is a cheaply made pair of speakers. I have a pair of Edifier R980T which comes in about the same price, although smaller and purported to have a smaller output, but the Edifier is definitely made with quality materials. Workmanship on the Pyle is subpar. Front piece surrounding the screen grill looks like painted plastic. There were rough spots as if there were sand on the brush when the guy painted it! I cannot fully describe the workmanship of the item, it's just really way below what I would have expected. Maybe it should have been a $30 speaker. The box came open and was stuck back with another piece of tape. So I am not sure if mine was a returned item and resold to me. I bought mine sold and shipped by Amazon. Since it did look brand new I am not complaining much. According to "what's in the box" there was a missing RCA cable. I had extras so I used my own. This shouldn't happen. I should have got what was promised in the item description. The speaker wire to connect the 2 speakers together is definitely not industry standard. Better pray you don't break the connector! The wire gauge is so thin! I don't even know hat gauge that is ... it's hair thin! It's stupid to default to bluetooth every time you turn it on. I don't want to connect to bluetooth all the time. It would have been better to default to last used connection.Now for the slightly better stuff. Sound output is OK. Solid bass and treble. These can be adjusted to your preference. I honestly think that 300W output as claimed by Pyle is totally bull. No way will these generate that amount of output. PMPO maybe. Don't have much good things to say about it.I do not recommend these speakers unless they are selling it for less that $50. If you are looking for anything in the price range I will recommend Edifiers. I have them and I can vouch that Edifiers are money well spent and most of all they sound a lot better.Edit : I bought these https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ER6QWAY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 so that I can use better quality and larger gauge speaker cables. I couldn't stand the hair thin supplied speaker cables. It works with the speaker connector in the active speaker.
