Mackie Studio Monitor, 3-Inch (CR3-XBTLTD-WHT [Pair])

Amazing sound quality!

I am a lay consumer who purchased these studio monitors. This product is commonly used by DJs, producers etc. in recording studios. As such, we ordinary consumers are not the target demographic for studio monitors.Even so, the Mackie studio monitor pair is wonderful for my home setup! Even at 50% volume, I can get a theatrical quality sound experience while playing movies or shows! These speakers are loud I can assure you. You can never play music through them at full volume unless you're looking a) to get noise complaints from neighbors and b) to get tinnitus for yourself. Seriously, don't hurt your eardrums and anger your neighbors! 50-65% volume is enough!Aesthetics wise, the Mackie monitors look lovely! Their white shade makes them look like the premium product that they are! Their color also stands out against dark backgrounds if you're looking to beautify your home setup.User friendliness: The Bluetooth functionality is easy enough to use. The monitors connect to my PC very quickly and without hassle. I have only had connection issues once in the few months I have used these monitors. Also, unlike my previous speaker setup, I have no trouble playing BT audio from various programs in a seamless manner. If you switch between various programs/apps playing audio, the Mackie Monitors handles the switching like a champ!Ports wise, the Mackie monitors have, for an average consumer, more than enough ports than you'll need! I mostly use the Bluetooth functionality but it's nice to know I can use the 3.5 mm audio out jack as well.Two small gripes: the studio monitors emit a low, continuous static white noise when not playing music/sound from my PC. It is not audible unless you're in a silent environment. That static noise may be annoying to some so you may want to shut off the monitors when not using them. Secondly, the power cord is connected to the active studio monitor. In other words, it is not detachable. This may pose an issue if the cord gets damaged due to accident.Conclusion: The Mackie studio monitors is worth its price point. And it's a downright steal on discount! I'm happy with my purchase so far. My only hope is that these monitors last me for many years to come!

Sound quality is great. High and Mid frequencies are good but a bit lacking on low frequencies. Which is understandable taking into consideration the size of the speakers. Mackie has a subwoofer that can be paired with these speakers. That would complete se set. But still even without the subwoofer the sound is complete in all respects. I purchased only for media consumption. Also the aesthetics match with the build in progress. No complains so far.

The media could not be loaded. Good with Bluetooth

Mediocre Sound at BestI was hoping for more from these speakers. The sound quality is quite disappointing. The highs lack clarity and often sound harsh, while the bass is practically nonexistent. Music lacks depth and detail, and the overall soundstage feels flat. Even at moderate volumes, there's a noticeable distortion. While they might be okay for basic background noise, they definitely fall short for any serious music listening. If you're looking for a decent audio experience, I recommend looking elsewhere.

It's good for listening
