Aesthetics:
I rate this 4.9 out of 5. These speakers are SLEEK. They are made from a plexi/plastic that has a glass-like finish (Sorta feels like the back of an Iphone 10). The two speakers and Subwoofer both have some weight to them, and seem fairly solid considering the price. They are also equipped with color-changing LEDs. This was one of my main draws to them to be honest. Each Speaker also has 2'' drivers that are exposed. For the sake of this section, it definitely adds to the appearance. The Thin profile of the speakers adds and accent piece to the desktop/shelf you have them on, while not taking up a lot of space. The subwoofer is rather large. This only adds to the look, granted you have the space to tuck it away. The LEDs have 7 different color options, and are bright enough to add a nice glow to the space even with the lights on/in day light. In a darker setting, it creates and very nice vibe to the space.
Pros:
Sleek black design.
Color changing LEDs w/ 7 different options (Or none if you prefer no color)
Slim speaker design with some weight behind them.
Cons:
The lights do not beat to the music - the color changing option has one speed in which it cycles through the colors.
The speakers do have wires, so wire management is a must if using them spread apart.
Sound:
The sound quality on these bad boys are INSANE for the price point. Certainly, they do not offer concert-level sound. However, unless you plan on hosting a underground wave, these should fit the needs of most spaces. I personally purchased these after creating an office/gaming space in a spare room. Having the two speakers on either side of the desk with the Subwoofer underneath is MORE than enough power for my needs.
The speakers has three dials to adjust sound: Master volume, Treble and Bass. Unlike other speakers where these controls seem to not impact the audio quality, these speakers are different. They create quite the difference when adjusted. The 2.1 surround is also noticeable and enjoyable. The "surround sound" functionality certainly is enjoyable, granted the subwoofer/speaker placement is done correctly. When at full volume, the base can be heard both outside my house and from 3 floors down! Utilizing these speakers at full volume is more than enough to bring the promise of hearing loss later in life. (Side note: if you intend to buy these speakers for a child, consider your trust and faith that they will listen and respect local sound ordinances. These speakers do NOT have a dial to control teenage angst)
The base tones and middles have a rich and warm tone, with the treble keeping up pretty well! (Note, high-end sound can get garbled when maxing out the volume). The subwoofer also will solely output base tracks on properly mixed audio, so the subwoofer will need to be on to some degree, otherwise you run the risk of part of the audio being missed. This is particularly noticeable when playing a shooter game or listening to lowfi hiphop beats to study and relax to. Overall, this sound system keeps up with the $400+ sound system my parents currently have from Bose (purchased 10 years in the past). I promise you - for this price point, there IS not better on Amazon. Perhaps you could get lucky dealing directly with a company or find one used. However, unless you are SUPER series about sound quality, I believe these will do JUST fine.
Pros:
Insanely awesome Bass.
Great Middle tones.
Adjustable levels
Surround sounds
Cons:
Trebble can be lost/drowned out at highest settings
Speaker placement is limited - speakers are wired and attached to subwoofer
Side effects of bass include: Upset spouse, headache, rattling floors, random bouts of noise complaints.
The other odds and ends:
Beyond sound and looks, this leaves only a few other items to comment on. As previously mentioned, the speakers ARE wired. Because of this, spacing/layout is limited to the length of the wire. Each wire is 5ft long, plus the size of the subwoofer - total wing span of 11ft. This seems like alot, until you try to find the perfect placement of all three items. I ended up placing the speakers on my desktop and subwoofer underneath. The wires were awkwardly hanging all over the place, but with about 5 bread-ties, I was able to clean it up nicely. Also, the speakers do have a delicate pin-system input. I am not sure the name of the top of my head, but the pins bend easily. They need to be perfectly aligned in order to plug in. The slightest damage and I can see the speaker failing completely, as it is hardwired into the back. The unit has two styles of output - two speaker outputs (Right and Left) and an aux port. The input options are Red/white audio cables or bluetooth. However, it does come with a red/white -to-aux converter, so this is not too much of a problem. I have my computer plugged in to the port, and my smart speaker (Google home AND Alexa) hooked up via bluetooth. As a side note, it cannot play via bluetooth AND hardwire at the same time - toggling between this options is done via a button on the side.
TL:DR - For $50, this is the best of the best. Yeah, there is something to say from anyone serious about audio/sound. HOWEVER, this is god tier for the price point. If you are on the fence about buying - unless you want to drop another $30-$50, this is the best. I intend to buy these as gift this coming holiday season. Also, they look absolutely gorgeous with the lights. 10/10, would buy again.

This is their story.
They came well packaged, better than I was expecting. I hooked them up in under 5 minutes and was ready to go. And I was surprised. They sounded great! All these people with tinny sound have GOT to be doing something wrong. It took me a few extra minutes to tweak the sound as best as possible and that was it. The subwoofer isn't theater worthy but it puts out a nice bit of bass. The speakers have a crisp sound that I wasn't getting out of my old speakers (Boston Acoustics digital) even though they are supposedly a bit better. I kept my old set hooked up and switched back and forth a few times to compare them and my new set sounds crisper. Cable length was almost exactly what I needed. I would have liked an extra foot or two just in case but I managed (with no problem) to get them on the far left and far right corners of a 48" desk with the sub underneath on the floor on the left and the computer on the right.
The Bluetooth works but I haven't played with it too much yet. All I did was connect my phone to it and played some music - which sounded pretty darn good and wasn't difficult. I may try to hook it up to my computer's Bluetooth and see how it does that way.
On top of all that... they look really nice. The subs LED is maybe a tad brighter than I would like it but not so bright that I want to turn it off (for reference I like mood lighting not party lighting). The speakers aren't bright enough to distract you or shine in your eye but enough to look very cool.
The only things I think it's missing are:
1. The ability to control the lights on the sub independent of the speakers (off/on and brightness).
2. A nice fade to next color on the color cycle setting (they just flash to the next color after a few seconds but I don't use it).
3. A separate volume/connection/light controller. It can be on a 6 foot line or wireless but it would be nice not to have to get under my desk to make changes. Still not a big deal since I generally don't.
4. Do we *really* need the annoying sound when you turn them on? The lights tell me it's on. I don't need a sound. At least give me the option to turn them off...
Overall, I'm super happy I bought these. I almost didn't and I'm REALLY glad I did. They are worth every penny.
I would absolutely recommend these to friends and family that are cool enough to use them.
Top reviews from other countries
However, they are surprisingly much louder than expected, with a nice clean, clear sound and a little extra kick provided by the sub.
Setup is very basic and straight forward.
Each satellite speaker(2) connects to the sub by a 5' speaker cable with DIN connector. The sub is powered through a 5' AC power cord. The included RCA(L/R) to 3.5mm Y-Cable, which is also 5', can be used to connect a wide range of devices, PC, TV, smartphone, tablet, etc.. Bluetooth works very well with no connection or sound issues.
The satellite speakers have a glossy black plastic casing with dual 2" drivers in each. Bottom of speakers have a soft padding which help cushion vibration as well as provide grip on surfaces. The attached speaker cable is 5' in length and connect directly to the Sub, via a DIN connector.
For their small size/watts, these produce a surprising loud volume while still maintaining clean mids/highs.
The 4" Sub is housed in a rear ported enclosure. Located on the right side of the Sub, is the control panel which features the master volume/treble/bass knobs. Headphone jack, lighting control and source button(to switch between Line In and Bluetooth sources) are also on the side panel. A led status light distinguishes between sources(line in = green, bluetooth = blue).
The Power on/off switch, speaker connectors and RCA inputs(R/L) are located on the rear of the sub, along with the AC power cord.
While not over powering, the sub gives a decently tight punch which compliment the mids/highs of the satellites.
The RGB lighting is located on the surrounding edge of each satellite speaker, as well as light rings on each of the 5 drivers(2* per satellite, 1* Sub). This feature is controlled with a simple push of a button, located in the display panel on the side of Sub.
The effects consist of Green, Blue, Red, Purple, Yellow, Light Blue, 6 color cycle mode and light off.
The nice glow and variety of color pairs well with any atmosphere or setup.
**While not much of an issue to me personaly, a couple things worth noting:
Unfortunately, the system reverts to Default settings on each power off/on. So when powered off, the default source(bluetooth) and lighting(green) are always active when powering on.
This can be a little of an annoyance and/or inconvenience, having to cycle through lights and source each and every time.
Also, with virtually all controls located on the sub itself, users face a limitation on placement options for the sub while still having controls easily accessable. Not exactly ideal for those who may wish to place sub on floor or under desk. A remote or control pod, which the majority of similar speaker systems have today, would have easily remedied this issue.
Speakers do not have grills/covers.
Overall, I am very satisfied with this speaker system, sounds great and goes well with desktop setup. Definitely recommend! ★★★★★
Edit: included pics, it is hard to distinguish between the blue/purple and green/yellow in the attached photos, visibility is much better in person.
*UPDATE May 9, 2018* Purchased a second system, for my sons bedroom.

However, they are surprisingly much louder than expected, with a nice clean, clear sound and a little extra kick provided by the sub.

Bass is average for its size. Speakers are really on the crappy side, try a bass test and you will find out the higher end sounds can’t compete properly with the subwoofer, giving really weird sounds. Bass still sounds good though. Good for the price.
