The sound of the Harman Kardon Sound Sticks III is top notch! I was looking for good PC speakers with, primarily, good sound, in order to run on the laptop music in the study can. So neither for gaming nor for films etc. I now had both the Teufel Concept B20 (to dull sound and only one tone control) and the Teufel Concept C200 USB (exaggerated-sized subwoofers to place it under the desk!) At home, and have today in MM Felt 3 hours in change the Bose Companion 2 (joa, nice sound, but somehow not tired enough!) and the LOGITECH Z623 (a round thing rattles, quite well, if it wants to!) belongs. But in both there gave me a kind of a bit of brilliance, that is clear highs & fine resolution lacked. And then I stumbled on the Internet via the Sound Sticks III, very strong test judgments of trade magazines, super-reviews! So again blown directly at the listening in the MM. Ey people now time let's be honest, among us Pastor daughters: Against the brilliant and clear sound of classic HK Soundsticks III stink from its competitors so so! Of course, who want to play first person shooter / action games and coarse dynamic bass Bums investigated, which is probably the LOGITECH Z623 even a bit happier, because it's simply more thumps and noise. But when it comes to listening to music to finely resolved highs and if more harmonious, round-voice sound per Euro is the primary purchasing criterion, then this system is unrivaled in this price range (137.45) !!! I am absolutely thrilled, very strong buy recommendation, for this price you can go wrong because nothing! Silk net me evil, but as you can enter only one or two stars for this is beyond me ...
