Roth Audio VA4 Pair of Active Speakers (White)

Considering how compact these speakers are, the sound is clear, crisp and can get very loud (if you want/need a decent volume).I bought to connect my old turntable (as they have a very useful phono pre-amp built-in) and the records sound better than ever through them. Bonus to be able to connect TV, Bluetooth devices, I-pod and basically any other piece of equipment as well (CD, Tapedeck etc) using the variety of inputs.(I had only one tiny problem during set up - I didn't press the volume button in as you need to do to activate the audio connection - it isn't entirely explicit in the user manual, but I wouldn't mark it down because of that though.)It was brillliant getting rid of my poor old speakers, I-pod dock, external amp and various leads and now I just have a very simple but effective set up. Wish I had got them earlier.

Okay, I have had these for over 2 years now and I feel like I can give a fair rundown of why these speakers polarise reviewers.The sound is good, flat even at default settings which is exactly what I want. You can get great lows and highs with some tweaks with the remote or with APO on a PC which is my preferred method of EQing. The build quality is about what you would expect at this price point, not incredible but pretty solid. The USB port on the back is really handy and I use it constantly. The bluetooth function is pretty much useless. It has an awful noise/crackle which is a known problem with bluetooth but has been solved in much cheaper devices. The remote has kept working just fine but there will definitely be a problem in the long term with Roth not making available replacements for sale on their website and apparently ignoring anyone who enquires about it, this is seriously bad, there are no control buttons on the speakers themselves for the bass/treble so once this remote dies you are S.O.L.Overall these speakers fit my niche perfectly - I EQ externally, I don't need the bluetooth function, they are white and are cheap. But for others whose decision to buy hangs on bluetooth you should stay well away.

Completely fantastic sound, I love them!!!

Brought for my son, he’s very happy with them ,sound quality very good ,yes I know I brought them for my son, but I still hear the music he’s playing
