Pros: these speakers pack quite a punch without distortion. Price is very reasonable.
Cons: suffer from interference (cellphones near it will make them buzz loudly when a call is coming in).

Would like to see if the new VS2621 will fix this issue. Posted by Nick Sti, USA
Just got these speakers. Very loud and great sound clarity. But still needs to upgrade sound card.
