Best speakers ever owned one annoyance
by Steve RThese are the most expensive speakers I've ever owned. Got them when one of my 5.1 speakers either failed or came disconnected, it would be too hard to get to if it had. So intended as a long term buy. I've used them over my motherboards optical connection and on my current usb, device manager doesn't seem to know what they are over usb but they work great and sound is superb either way. Just remember on usb to reboot your system to get sound working and using your fastest usb 3 port works best. The annoyance is the remote control. It feels like quality for a small round device it has some real weight but it is short ranged, but that's not my issue. Where the annoyance comes in is the coin type battery it uses, mine won't go in flat, which means I can't put the battery cover on flat and secure. Last night I accidentally put my hand on the remote making it jump and the back piece and cell flew out and it takes several attempts to get the cell connecting again. Not the first time the backs come off either about the third I think. Currently put it on a non-slip pad and trying to operate a no moving policy from now on. Just a silly problem to have with an otherwise superb product, they even come with every cable you should need.
