Review: Impecável! Já deveria ter encomendado antes.
Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kanto YU2 Are Excellent – Audioengine A2+ Were a Big Disappointment The first desktop speakers I purchased were the Audioengine A2+, and honestly, they were very disappointing. Flat sound, weak bass, and nowhere near what I expected for the price — I returned them. I then bought the Kanto YU2, and the difference was immediate. The sound is clear, detailed, and well balanced, especially for nearfield desktop listening. Bass is tight (not muddy), mids are clean, and highs are crisp without being harsh. The built-in USB DAC sounds great straight from a computer. Build quality is solid and they look great on a desk. I liked them so much that I bought a second pair. The Kanto YU2 are a keeper. Highly recommended.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you have to shut these down when your not using the computer? ie Do they go into a low power mode with no input?**
A: Kevin,It's best to turn these off as they do not have a standby mode like our YU3, YU5, or YUMI speakers. You can turn them on or off by using the volume control on the rear of the speakers. If you have any other questions feel free to contact us directly at support@kantoliving.com

**Q: Can I use the 3.5mm input & USB DAC simultaneously? I'd like to play music from my iPod (via 3.5mm) while also hearing sounds from my PC via USB.**
A: Chase,You can have two devices connected to the YU2's at the same time using USB and AUX. Since you don't have to choose which input is playing both sources can actually play at the same time. Our speakers should work well for the situation you've described. Contact us directly using the support button on our site if you have any other questions, thanks.

**Q: Can I just plug these into my computer or do I need extra equipment like an amp? I can't find a thorough review or unboxing anywhere. Thanks**
A: No amp required: the amp built into the left speaker. It comes with everything needed to connect to almost any computer.

They sound very nice. Better than 99% of computer speakers. For music, you probably want to add a powered subwoofer.

**Q: What subwoofer can I use for these speakers?**
A: Richie,Any powered subwoofer that can accept an RCA input will work. Contact us directly using the support button on our site if you have any other questions, thanks.

*by D***M on 24 October 2021*

Overall, good speakers for the price. Compact, so the will fit on the desktop without dominating it. Sound quality is good for the price, though top end is disappointing. Perfect for speech, games etc. If you want to listen to music then a bigger speaker would probably be more suitable. The only disappointing element is the on/off/volume control which is on the back of the speaker - mounting it on the front would have been better. 27/11/21 Update. Having purchased the Kanto speaker stands, these have made a worthwhile improvement to the overall sound by tightening the bass response.
