Rated 5 out of 5

Solid Performer

Delivers exactly what I expected from Mackie - clear, crisp ranges and even loud enough for my teenager. BT with controls on the front are perfect for phone or amazon echo.

Ok for the money

They are totally fine for the money but I somewhat expected a clearer sound. They do not sound neutral to me like monitors should. I was actually surprised by how bad the sound is coming from a Mackie speaker.

Best Monitor Speakers I've Owned

Bluetooth is convenient. Better than the 3" because it produces much more bass. Very clear highs and decent lows for the size. I would change the color though, green is not my favorite color. Excellent build quality.

should be pared with a bass

good quality speakers but should be pared with a bass or just go with a 2.1 audio system.

Mackie does it right

Easy to pair via BlueTooth, easy set up for a laptop or phone. My son is using them in his college dorm, enough power and punch and clarity that you'd want/expect with Mackie

Funtastic!

The sound is outstanding for a small speaker size. The set up was easy and the blue tooth connected on my first try

Clean sound, plenty loud

I added these speakers along with another set of comparably priced Klipsch speakers with a sub. These seem to be much brighter and cleaner than the other speakers. They are a good size, and they look great, too. Glad I bought them and would recommend them.

Good size for a desk top

Good size for a desk top, great sound for the size, but could still use a little subwoofer support. I like the feature that lets you swap the control speaker from right to left and keep the correct phasing.

Mackie CR4BT amazingness

I am writing this while listening to these bad boyz. Simply blown away...incredible detail, clarity, and realistic punch (not hyped). With Bluetooth (which I used with my 6s to utter glee)?? For the price?? The best purchase I've made for myself in ages. Fittingly, "Somebody Get Me a Doctor" by Van Halen is playing while listening to this!
