Pretty good speakers for the price.
I bought these along with the Miccus Home RTX Bluetooth range extender so I could listen to music from my PC in a room over 30ft away. Paired with the Bluetooth extender, they work fine. The music sounds pretty good, though it can be a little muddied from time to time. But, for your average, non-audiophile person, they should sound great. The sound is certainly better than you would get from any little boombox or cheap stereo micro-unit. The bass booms very nicely, though it needs to be balanced or it will drown out the treble. The Bluetooth works great but, if you leave them on, (as I do, because the power switch is on the sub-woofer, which is on the floor under a table), AND leave the Bluetooth extender on, (as in my case), then the speakers will "pop" lightly every 30 seconds. I think this is the Bluetooth syncing. If you turn the extender off, the popping stops. So I just leave the speakers on but turn off the extender, and I think you can do the same with your system - just turn off the transmitting source. Alternatively, you can rig a remote switch for the speakers, which I had considered but didn't bother with since the other solution worked.The good: Good speakers in a small package. The bass does a good thumping job, especially when placed on a hardwood floor. The tweeters do a decent enough job at moderate volume and you can separate them enough to get true stereo. Unit has AUX input for hooking up a source other than wireless, which is actually nice. Plays an audio tone to let you know that it is paired every time so you know it is ready to play.The bad: The bass can be turned so loud it distorts the music and drowns out the tweeters. It takes a bit a fiddling to get everything balanced decently. And that wouldn't be a big deal, except all the controls are on the bass unit, which is on the FLOOR. So every time you need to adjust the bass, treble, or VOLUME, you need to crawl down there and do that, then get back up and step away to see if it worked, because, of course, you are too close to it when you are ADJUSTING it. What this speaker set really needs, is a remote.The wishlist: A remote. The remote needs the following buttons: On/Off, Volume, Treble, Bass, AUX in On/Off, Sync. Speaker stands for the satellite speakers. (Buy these separately.) The little satellites are good enough, but they have a sharp cutoff if you set them on a table or entertainment center. To get good coverage, get speaker stands.If you are setting up a remote speaker system and want good bass, then get these. If you don't care about the bass so much, there are more compact options. These worked for me and I do recommend them if you like music with a thump. :)

A whole lotta sound!
I've been very pleased with this purchase over the last two years. I can sync it via bluetooth to my PC or phone, but I mainly use it with my turntable via the "source" option on the back of the sub. Very simple design and very easy to use. It has bass and treble dials on the back, along with two buttons which allow you to choose between bluetooth or source. In my case, the turntable is plugged into the back of the sub via a red/white AV jack.The system is very loud and easily fills most rooms with a lot of sound. The sub has a decent "boom" to it. I highly recommend this affordable system for anyone that needs audio for their LP turntable, or as a simple but effective way of streaming audio from some other E-device. Plus it looks pretty sleek as well. There are slots in the back of the small speakers so you can wall-mount them on a screw head, which is what I did. My one minor gripe is the cords are short, and are NOT interchangeable. The speaker cords are about 4-5 feet long only, and the power cord is less than 7 feet. All in all, a clean sounding, clean looking system.

Lots of bass, lacks low mid-range frequencies.
I don't think there's another 2.1 Bluetooth stereo available with the power of the Kinivo M2 for less money.It's not a perfect system however.First off, the packaging is weak. My styrofoam was broken in the box. All the components were undamaged(except a small ding on the corner of the subwoofer which does not affect performance) but there were little bits of foam stuck to the speakers.The sub is the best part of this system, it's solid wood and puts out decent bass.The satellite speakers are very lightweight plastic and appear fragile with no speaker covers. The satellite speaker wires are super thin andalso a bit too short.The satellites sound pretty good until you turn the volume up high, at which point distortion increases noticeably.I contacted Kinivo about the inferior packaging and also asked them about the specifications for the M2 Bluetooth stereo.They did get back to me and offered a return on the system if there was any damage, but gave me no answers about the M2's specs.Here's what I learned about the M2:The sub puts out 28 watts max: freq. response 30Hz-100Hz.The two satellites have combined 28 watts max; freq. response 250Hz-20KHz.Maybe you're wondering what happened to the frequencies between 100Hz and 250Hz, called low mid-range or 'power' range.Bass, drums, guitars, sequencers all produce frequencies in this range.Listening to the system the sound is a bit thin even with the bass turned up. The missing mid-range frequencies are probably the reason.So it's not close to audiophile grade, but for sixty bucks you get an easy to pair 2.1 Bluetooth speaker that gets loud.edit 10/10/15: This system now costs $120.00 new. At this price point there are many other speakers available with better sound and higher quality.
