Does the job with no issues.
Pros: Plenty of storage space. Good price. Red!
Cons: Unwanted garbage that comes pre-loaded on it.
Overall Review: Works great for storage. I immediately reformatted it to delete all the pre-loaded junk on it. Just need it for straight storage and backup and it does the job like it should. Catch it on sale for under $60, as these aren't worth $70-$80.
Good mid to upper range sound quality, but bulky and lacking in bass.
Pros: + High quality construction, with aluminum headband and soft ear cups. + Good sound quality in mids and highs, with a slightly bright sound signature. + Good battery life with voice prompts telling you the battery status. + Holds a solid Bluetooth connection for a decent distance. + ANC seems to work better than average.
Cons: - These are lacking in bass output. - Not the most comfortable if you have a larger head. - Ear cups are a bit small for over-ear design, so unless you have very small ears they won't fit inside the cups completely. - Headband sticks out from the side of your head quite a bit and the cans also stick out. Not a very good look. - overall volume level is fairly low and max volume not as high as most other similar headphones. - Sound degrades quite a bi tat louder volume levels, despite the louder levels not as high as other headphones. - High MSRP puts these in some heavy competition that offer better/more features. - No way to adujst the ANC level. - Can't listen to these wireless while being charged. - These use micro USB instead of USBC.
Overall Review: At $400 no way I would buy these. They sometimes go on sale for $150, which is more in line with what these should cost. Decent ANC and sound quality. Not the most stylish look, with a headband that sticks way out from your head and wide ear cups that stick out quite a way. They also don't fold up, so the included case is large to use. Bass heads need to audition these before a purchase, because they are average or worse in regards to bass output.
Excellent full range speakers for a budget price.
Pros: Produce good bass response for most music. Look good. Smother horn tweeter than some other Klipsch. Good price.
Cons: Fairly large size (only negative if you have space limitations). Feet are kind of cheap.
Overall Review: Got these for $150/each and at this price they are a great value. I'm typically not a fan of horn loaded tweeters, but the KF-28 horn is smoother and not nearly as harsh as some other Klipsch offerings. With 35Hz extension, I use these 2 channel for music and they sound great, with depth and clarity. A good sub capable of 20Hz is still recommended for movies, however. I would consider these to be better than similar priced JBL or Polk speakers. Of course, these Klipsch speakers were originally priced much higher while still in production. Get them while you still can. You won't be disappointed.
Very good towers wen on sale.
Pros: Good sound quality from multiple drivers. Tall enough that the tweeter is close to ear level when seated. Good deal when on sale.
Cons: Slender design makes them look a little odd. Woofers on the sides of the cabinet can be a sound issue if you are placing them in tight areas.
Overall Review: First off, these aren't high quality speakers that will blow you away. The Loft line is a budget line of speakers which are over-priced at their retail price tag. There's no way I would pay over $400 for a pair of Loft 50's. I rated these 5 stars/eggs based on the sale purchase price of $169. The speakers sound good enough for most people and if your receiver has EQ ability, then can sound even better. Don't pay over $200 for these, as the Infinity Primus P163 towers go on sale for $99 each and those are a step above these Loft 50's.
Not a worthwhile purchase
Pros: Price when it's on sale. Decent looking cabinet.
Cons: Can't deliver low LFE in movies. Cabinet rattles and there is port noise when the sub is pushed very hard. It's just not a good subwoofer.
Overall Review: Rated only down to 35Hz, this isn't a subwoofer you should ever consider for home theater applications. If it's for music only, you may be able to get by with it, just don't drive it very hard or you'll get distortion, port noise and the cabinet might even rattle. I was very disappointed with this sub and wouldn't recommend it. It's currently on sale for under $100, so that does make it a bit more appealing for those on an extremely tight budget. If you can afford more, the Klipsch sub-12hg goes on sale often at a competitor for under $200. That is a far better sub.
Not really worth the price.
Pros: Decent build quality. Bass pretty good for just 4" woofers.
Cons: 6 Ohm. Inefficient at 85dB. Tweeter is muffled and lacks clarity.
Overall Review: I've owned all of the speakers in the current and past Andrew Jones lines. They are all fair to average at best. Not sure why they get rave reviews. For these bookshelf speakers, priced at $129/pair, I wouldn't buy them. Catch them on sale or just pass all together. Highs and mids are weak, with the tweeter being the real weak spot in this speaker. The 4" woofer produces a decent amount of bass for it's size, but not enough. These will really tax your receiver, especially low end models. 6 Ohm impedance and 85dB sensitivity will make your receiver work a lot harder to produce the same volume that a more efficient 8 Ohm speaker would. I would actually recommend the JBL Loft 40 bookshelf speakers over these and they have recently been on sale for just $39.99/pair.
