Review: Surprisingly Good Sound, Easy to Integrate - These were exactly what I needed for my project. I expected the sound to be so-so, but it was excellent for the size and the price, and they'll get very loud if you want. They were easy to integrate into my project, since the speaker enclosures had mounting holes. Installing the driver was trouble-free, they worked flawlessly after I installed and rebooted.
Review: All about that bass but this just does not have it. - These installed nicely into one of my PI-5 nicely. The standoffs that came with the unit made this nice as I didn’t have to go search for the additional hardware. Installation was easy and literally worked out of the box. I’ve got to ding it a little however as the quality of sound is just not there, I was expecting a little better sound. These sound a little tinny and the deeper sounds just do not play all that good.
