Harman/Kardon Soundsticks II - Speaker System - for PC - 2.1-Channel - 40 Watt (Total)

These clear little speakers produce excellent sound. Admittedly, I first bought them because I thought they looked awesome. The sound quality is an added bonus. Most frequencies come through very well (very low frequencies may require something a bit more high-end and fancy). Overall, very happy with these.

Great overall sound. Excellent bass that can be adjusted easily. Very good quality materials and I really like the aesthetic. I’ve had these for 10+ years and they still sound brand new.

The sound these speakers and sub give out is unbelievable. High quality sound with an aesthetic look. Featured in the metropolitan museum of art for how beautiful they look. Best $250 I have ever spent!

Good value

I'm a professional audio engineer. I wouldn't mix on these but this is a great sounding system with plenty of volume. The vertical sweet spot is extremely small, but the speaker's bases allow them to be tilted to adjust the aim. All-in all, a good buy.

Great crisp sound and lots of solid bass. You won't be dissappointed,

I was skeptical when I pulled them out of the box. They were smaller than I thought they would be. BUT, when I hooked them up I could not believe the sound. They sound great. The base is strong and the sticks are very crisp. I still have not ventured to turn them up all the way. They are surprisingly loud but still clear. The ONLY issue I have is the sub is designed to be on the floor so everytime you want to adjust the bass or turn the power on or off you have to reach down to the floor to do it. Not a big hassle, just a little inconvenient. I had read reviews about some issues with the volume control on the sticks being to sensitive. I think it is just fine. I have been into stereos for over 30 years and I have owed some outrageous systems. I am one of the guys ... MoreI was skeptical when I pulled them out of the box.

For the price, you cannot go wrong with the Soundsticks. They really out perform anything in their price range. I also think they look really good and clean sitting next to my iMac. If you are looking for a good set of speakers that won't take up half of your computer stand the Soundsticks are by far the most bang for the buck.

Great little speakers.

This is the sequel to the excellent Harmon Kardon Soundsticks. Pros: Excellent sound quality. Great Aesthetics. Cons: Plugs into usb, tested it on my ps4 and no dice. No hardwired volume switch. No headphone jack. Get the soundsticks III if you can afford it.

Incredible Speakers

I have two sets of these speakers. They are the best stereo speakers I've ever had. They are well made and they have full rich sound. They are capable of filling any room with sound. My music collection is now digital and these speakers have replaced my stereo system and big speakers from the 1980's.

Nostalgia hit hard with these speakers. They're in great shape, and sound great. Great deal!

Sound Sticks

My previous sound sticks had deteriorated although the sub-woofer was still functional. The ability to simply replace the defective parts of my computer sound system saved me from having to buy everything new. A perfect match!

cool looks, great sound for the bucks

I got mine used for $70 and for that price they are fantastic- as much ground-shaking bass from the subwoofer as I want and decent sound separation and quality from the sticks. I used my computer's equalizer to optimize the sound to my liking. My girlfriend and I love the unusual appearance, they look "cool"
