The sound is good, but they have an automatic standby feature that can't be disabled, which means they don't start producing sound until ~5 seconds after they receive input. This is fine if you're using them for long sessions, but it makes them useless as external speakers for the Echo, and useless for any notification sounds on systems that aren't already being used.
Really wanted to like these, but I replaced them with something that doesn't have this feature.
Champion_HDHe said there is an automatic standby and it takes the speakers about 5 seconds to start outputting sound after turning on. In other words you can say it takes the speakers 5 seconds to turn on. Basically will only be an issue if you want to use them for Amazon Echo or Google Home .
Champion_HDIf you've driven one of those cars that turns off when you come to a stop its similar to that. The speakers turn off when they aren't being used and turn on again after receiving input. The feature would be cool if the delay wasn't a good couple seconds or you could turn it off.
