      Purchased and returned within 24 hours because of the poor sound quality not to mention the snap-crackle-pop when you adjust the volume. You are better off with a pair of multimedia/PC speakers for the same price.

      The only good things about these monitors is that they have 1/4", RCA and 1/8" input jacks and the price is right. Sorry to say, but I was disappointed in the sound quality. My computer speakers sound better than these monitors.

        Comments about Alesis M1-ACTIVE-320USB Studio Monitors w/USB Pair:

        I like the sound of these speakers right out of the box. They work with no hassle. The sound quality is superb because of the active response system built inside these little speakers. The sound they produce is much bigger than you would expect. When using my ASIO driver I have to use my built in speakers for monitoring and that is the only down side to working with USB instead your regular connections. Overall these speakers are a great price for what you get. The built in audio interface allows for inputs of 1/4" unbalanced cables or RCA cables. I haven't had the opportunity to use these but I'm sure they won't be able to top such a creative idea for a long time. That is truly remarkable to be able to have speakers that act as an audio interface for recording. Perfect for a laptop.

          Junk, I had these for about three months and they have given out already. My regular computer speakers are better.

          Don't waste your money, Heart was not put into making this product so why should you waste your money.

                A:

                just to be on the safe side i would get something that has at least 8-10" speakers not 3" because it might be easy to blow out
