Pair M50 5" Powered Studio/Computer/Podcast Reference Monitors Speakers

I bought these for my TV because the speakers for the TV were going out. Now I have better sound then ever. Just wish they had a remote b

UPDATED REVIEW (03/03/19): I was sent a replacement pair directly from Samson. Their service was fast and replacement came a day ahead schedule (awesome!). I have had the speakers for about a week now, and these speakers sound KILLER! I love the sound, and I love the speedy replacement for my original damaged product. Updating to a 5-star 👍👍ORIGINAL REVIEW: I just received these speakers in the mail. The box was pretty beat up when I received it. When I plugged everything in, one side would have perfect audio, and the other side would have a muffled, low volume sound. I double checked all my settings on the computer, and also tried a different pair of speakers and everything worked fine. I believe I just received a defective speaker (just 1 side). I have reached out to support on the Samson Website and hopefully I can exchange this for a new pair that actually works (I hope it does, because the one side that works correctly sounds amazing). Will put in a new review once I hear back from support.

I got both the M50 "monitors" and the subwoofer. The speakers suffered from a defective passive monitor, with muffled sounds and low volume. It would rarely work better than that. So that had to be returned for a refund.The subwoofer I don't think is defective, it's just not good. The bass is very loose and flabby, the boomy type that you don't actually want for music and can barely be acceptable for movie explosions. You can get similar performance from products have the price, which also really aren't worth getting. The only real positive is at least it doesn't have a hiss nor trouble waking from standby, as well as many connectivity options. Albeit no balanced XLR, which may or may not even matter.I would suggest looking elsewhere. For the same price you can get Edifiers which will also include all the cables. I'll likely hold onto this subwoofer for a year or two, then mothball it or throw it away. I suspect it will die within that timespan anyway.A quality pair of studio monitors will serve you better than small satellite speakers and this subwoofer, so that's an option too. There are a lot of options if you want to go that route. I'm not sure why these, subwoofer or monitor, are so high on the bestseller rank.Update 7/13/20: Dead. No longer powers on. Amusingly enough you can still pass through the sound even without any power. Didn't even last 3 months. Complete waste of money. I reached out to Samson for warranty, but this will be an expensive product to ship, I shipped a similar lighter subwoofer for $40+ not too long ago, so I assume it will be in that price range for this too. No point in throwing more good money after bad. It was only okay while it lasted, I don't think I'll be touching any subwoofers anymore, spend a little more on quality bookshelf speakers and don't worry about dealing with any of this.Update 7/14: Powered back on. Probably works now, not sure, I've unplugged it and put it in storage. I still wouldn't recommend it.7/25: Tried again, doesn't power. Samsom hasn't gotten back to me on troubleshooting. Powered up again later in the day. There's something with this, I have no idea when it will work and when not.

I found out they don’t sell spare parts for these but they are cheap enough to just pick up another pair. Friend was happy that I “fixed” them, they sounded great and I get a set of nice speakers I put a third party amp hook up to. Nice.

These are great for the home studio, they have great quality and sound

Very loud and clean. I use for mixing the levels and it works well

Hot DANG these are nice. You cannot beat them at their price.

Muy bueno para el precio
