Its OK but not as much as I thought initially. Serious are correct, but the highs are aggressive and poorly defined for HIFI listening. By connecting an external DAC (hence not using the internal DAC), it is much better, the sound is refined and becomes more accurate. For cons, the stereo effect is very good. In summary, I would say this speaker system is perfect for listening to mp3 on the computer or watching movies. For HIFI listen, it's not enough (but that may be me who is too demanding ...)
