Pros:
- Clear, powerful sound that does not distort if you keep it below ~75% volume
- Awesome for movies and shows, solid for gaming - wide enough range to hear sounds you normally wouldn't on low quality speakers
- Beautiful looking especially with the drivers exposed
- REAL tweeter @logitech, these kick the crap out of any budget speakers made by PC peripheral brands
- easy to connect with wall power, RCA to 3.5mm, and wires between the two speakers - all cables are long enough for use on a long desk
- Good all in one solution for those looking to spend less than $100 and don't want to buy a separate amp
- Sound even nicer with a DAC
Cons:
- pretty disgusting distortion at its loudest volumes - I would have rather had a speaker that couldn't reach such volumes than one that could but sounds awful when it does. Not a massive con though because it gets plenty loud enough before it distorts
- Volume control is on the back which makes on the fly adjustment particularly annoying
- Mids can feel somewhat recessed and overtaken by the lower frequencies
- Not as balanced as I would've liked but they're inexpensive so it's hard to complain
- very low hissing sound when nothing is playing but you won't notice unless your ear is a few inches from the driver
In the end they certainly get the job done and are a nice entry level speaker, but if you can spend more it's certainly worth it to get something of higher quality. I've had them for several months though and don't feel the need to replace which is a good sign for an itchy tech buyer like myself
For TV speakers way more volume and bass than this small room needs and improves quality of sound over built in TV speakers a lot. These speakers are not Bluetooth nor do they have a remote so once the volume and bass knobs are set that is what you get all the time unless you get up and physically adjust the control knobs again. I have an older flatscreen TV that has RCA jacks but the TV remote does not volume adjust the RCA jacks so on occasion I have turned up the volume on the TV speakers, which I normally leave turned all the way down. That way I avoid getting up to adjust the Edifier speakers when house noise levels rise for a short period.
update: so it turns out they are working! i just have dumb outlets. re-added a star

I own a number of higher end speakers from Bose, Polk, Harmon Kardon and others - just so you know where I'm coming from. These shouldn't disappoint if you're looking to add quality sound to a small room.
Me gustó mucho!!!! ya llevo un año y medio con los altavoces y sigen funcionando muy bien.
acutalizacion(2022): Exelente producto, llevo ya casi tres años con ellos y siguen funcionando genial. A pesar de ser de la gama baja suenan increíble vale la pena si es que estas buscando tus primeros altavoces en stereo 100% recomendados, edifier muy buena marca.
only negative thing is the volume control is on the back of them BUT i just use the windows volume control on my PC.
