Are the power and speaker cables in good locations? I've had bad experiences in the past where the design was horrible.

Yes the power and speaker cables are exactly where they should be. And these speakers are great for the price..

Actually, I checked. We have a pair here. As I thought, the power cable is on the far left speaker and the audio is on the right speaker. As I suspected, very poor design. I will not be purchasing these.

The green sound jack (could be used for headphones) is underneath, on the same level as the video and power cables. Not terribly convenient, but could be worse. The built-in speakers are not great.

Everyone on here talks about the fluff. Like how pretty or ugly the speakers are and what they use them for. But the elephant in the room is what are the connectors on the back of the base station? There are zero pictures of the back of the base station and calling many distributors no one has a clue. There are no online user manual pdf's either. I awesome there is an electrical outlet and 2 audio in/out connector holes? Does anyone know? Thank you for helping me as I want to hook this up to my Home AVR Surround Sound system to use for listening to the radio.

It is not ideal but the sound quality is acceptable. In fact, that is where I have placed my unit. The biggest challenge (in addition to sound quality) with a high placement is turning the unit on and off.

Are you sure that you've installed the unit correctly? Inputs connected to inputs, and outputs connected to outputs? Additionally, have you verified that the impedance switches are set correctly? Lastly, have you removed the volume control, bridges the speaker wires, to eliminate a fault in the cables or speakers? If you've tried all this, and still experience trouble, I'd say it's possible that you may have a faulty unit..

I would go and look but the speakers are at my other place. Nevertheless, the controls for pairing, volume, and tone are all on the rear of the speakers and I access the controls frequently rather than go inside to whatever I have them paired with. You would be better off with a wall shelf. I can tell that these speakers have great sound!

Mine's ok. I don't use them as my primary speakers though and I don't mind. I'd suggest getting some good portable speakers (possibly bluetooth...).

My apologies for the long time to respond to this, this is the first time I get asked a question through Amazon. Anyways the power supply worked great for me but the problem could be from the power source or the speakers. So try to test your speaker with the same power supply at another location in your house or a friends house maybe with a portable mp3 player. Also if someone else has the same speakers borrow the power adapter or swap your friend's speakers from the monitor just to test it.

I have not experienced any problem as described with my speakers. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Never had that problem. I would double check the speaker wires are properly connected.

I ran my MacBook Pro out of it. It worked but I returned it because it was poorly made. It was the beginning of a series of upgrades and that was the worst piece of equipment I ever owned. I would put it in my shop so it can get all dusty and die. But right now I bit the bullet and bought two Yamaha HS7 powered speakers and run into a small mixing board and gave my Bose system away. My studio is much more elaborate right now but those speakers and $100 mixing board are the basics for awesome sound.

Yeah just hook up the aux cable...the chair speakers and stuff work and it looks good its just a week after I bought it the wood it was made with inside broke so it sit different.it didn't sit straight up anymore. I was really bumbed out for spending over 100$ on a product and it breaks also it distorts alot through the speakers didn't like that either. But hope this helps.

I have two sets of this particular speaker system. Mine work great!Hmmm, don't tell anyone okay? I did a dumb thing and my speakers wouldn't work! So I order new ones...same brand.Look at the bottom part of your monitor (screen). There is a little icon for "speaker" on the lower right side of your computer screen.By accident, I turned my speakers off. I thought there was something wrong with my old Logitech speakers. So? I ordered more. Guess what! There was absolutely nothing wrong with my old speakers BUT! These are much more clear and the volume is louder.I couldn't be happier.

Those are good questions.I bought this unit by accident for a friend for Christmas.By the time we got to use this it was too late for return.I like the unit with the speakers because you don't have to worry about wires because the wires and speakers are tucked in and out of the way.I would not recommend this item.

I have a problem with mine. Within a month or two i have had cable problems - the left speakers keep cutting out and I have keep the wires in a specific position to get sound in both the speakers. I am very disappointed. Since I am in India I am trying to see how to get this repaired.

i believe there are adapters that you can use to use the composite connections on the back (fixed audio out). Just head over to your local Radio Shack and you should be set. It may not be a clean solution and you may require a couple of adapters but i'm pretty sure there is a solution to your problem. Plus, these no brand cables from radio shack come in pretty cheap and of good quality in my experience so it shouldn't set you back more than 30 dollars.
