I have bought the boxes for al fresco listening to iPod music. Compared to the versions of Bose and co they are naturally not quite so clear with the sound and oversteer a bit if you aufreist everything until it stops. But that's like any normal. Nevertheless, she immediately convinced. Rich sound (no sign of the usual "cans Sound"). They are super processed and also look chic. Both laptop and mp3player highly recommended. !!
