  • Great for Computer and Studio Monitors
Size: 3-Inch Style: Standard
These speakers sound great and have multiple inputs. These are the 3 inch and I use them for my computer and as studio monitors for recording and playing my guitar through. These little things rock!

  • Excellent Product for the price!
Size: 3-Inch Style: Standard
Searching for the best Active Bookshelf Speakers was challenging. There are a large selection of different brands and just reading the reviews is not enough. The price range also has a large gap difference. So many questions? If your looking for a pair of Active (self-powered) Speakers, hopefully this review will help with your search! >Price: The cost was only $100, Great Price for what it offers! The set-up was also extremely easy. >Sound: Pros- It’s a two way speaker. The highs and mid range sound excellent. The Bass with the 3”woofer was surprisingly deep but not overwhelming deep, just enough. (Note: if your using them for a turntable, I noticed that the closer you have the speakers to the turntable, the Bass gets deeper.) Con- the only one thing I wish it had would be the ability to control the Tones, the Highs and Bass. But for the cost, I can understand why it didn’t have those options. If you pay for more expensive units, I’m sure that option will be available. I honestly couldn’t find any 1 thing I didn’t like about these speakers. Overall, I am completely satisfied with the Sound Quality and I recommend them to anyone looking for Speakers on a budget. >Thickness: The overall size is perfect and truly is defined as a Bookshelf Speaker. The quality is well built. I actually liked the Green Stripe but it would have been nice to have different color stripe options! I hope this was helpful, if not and you just want more info. Type in the product name (CR3-X) in YouTube and you will find other great reviews. Happy Shopping! ... show more

  • The king of quality affordable monitors!
Size: 3-Inch Style: Standard
These monitors are amazing, sure they might not have the best bass reproduction, but they are amazing for anyone looking for a pair of monitors on a budget, you can't go wrong with these. They include pretty much every cable you need, except for if you want to connect the monitors to your audio interface, but the cables needed are very cheap. These speakers have a lot of clarity and sound amazing. These just feel like an amazing pair of speakers for a good price. If you're looking for a pair of studio monitors under $100, these are very hard to beat in terms of value. ... show more

  • UPDATE 4 Month In: HISS - But still Great!! Metrics Below (3-Inch)
Size: 3-Inch Style: Standard
UPDATE: The "Dreaded" Hiss!! I love these monitors! Yes, they hiss as so many complain about. But these are budget speakers and the hiss is so slight, it is hardly a detriment. I'll reduce the rating from 5 to 4 for the hiss. Original review below. Again I love these and, for the price, can't complain one bit. Now for the actual hiss data (I've never seen that on any other review): Listening position: These are desktop a mere two feet from me. Hiss Volume (subjective): the same regardless of volume setting, any cable configuration, or no audio cables hooked up. VERY quiet. Far quieter than a computer fan. I am playing ANY audio whatsoever, even at the lowest volumes the hiss is inaudible. Hiss Volume (Metered): My sound level meter's lowest band is 60dB (measures above 50dB). A versus C weighting did not have any appreciable difference. Used the Fast Response setting. NOTE: I HAD TO HOLD THE SOUND METER **ONE INCH** AWAY FROM THE TWEETER DOME FOR THE HISS TO BE LOUD ENOUGH TO MEASURE IN THE 60dB BAND - Powered Speaker: 53dB - Passive Speaker: 57dB Again that's at ONE INCH away from the tweeter dome. It is below 50dB (where my meter stops registering) just 3-4 inches away. I'm listening from two feet away. Now I have a raging case of tinnitus (high frequency ringing) so I'm not going to be as sensitive to the hiss as normal hearing people. I can hear in my listening position at two feet. At four feet I can't, though I'd expect most people could in a quiet room. My meter doesn't do any lower than 50 dB so I can only guess that the sound level is around 40 dB at two feet and probably falls to the 30 - 20 dB range at three to four feet and beyond. Just a guess. Someone with a more sensitive meter can check :) Still this is a very quiet hiss, these speakers sound AMAZING, and they only cost $90! I really don't see how anyone could complain. If you need perfectly quiet powered speakers for professional recording, why would you be looking at the CRX line? These are perfect for the bookshelf, computer desk, or mini bedroom recording studio ORIGINAL REVIEW: I only just received these (CR3-X, 3 inch, non-bluetooth) as monitors for a little recording "nook" I've setup in my bedroom (approx 10 ft x 15 ft). I had low expectations for a powered monitor that was this small. I couldn't have been more wrong! Some users are complaining about hiss. UPDATE: I finally confirmed hiss, took a long time because it's so slight - details above. All I know is these tiny speakers CRANK. Unbelievably loud for such a small setup! And they sound beautiful! They really wake up with a little power behind them. I have no way of evaluating their frequency response other than to just listen. They seem very linear, no booming or blooming as far as someone who's willing to spend only $90 for powered monitors can tell :) If you need ultra high fidelity, why would you be looking at budget monitors?! They're tiny, inexpensive, and they will definitely be able to irritate anyone within two rooms of you if you turn them up! What more could you want?! I'm already in love with only an hour of listening and I haven't even used them as recording monitors yet! As I use these over time I will update this review. But out-of-the-box I am tremendously impressed at the quality for the price. I have no idea what the bigger versions are like... but if I needed bigger monitors I'd probably not be looking at a budget line. The 3 inch are perfect (so far) and exactly what I needed. Thank you, Mackie!! ... show more

Got these to pair with a Sony turntable using RCA connectors. Sound quality is very good. They look and feel well built. All that with a great price. Just what I needed.
