Compact but Sound Great!

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2024

Style: Premium SpeakersVerified Purchase

I am quite picky when it comes to my sound. I researched quite a bit and came across these. I absolutely think I made the right decision. I've had them for 3 years now and they still hold up. Great balanced sound, not tinny, has a good base for being so small. Don't take up a lot of room on my already full desk.

Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2024

Style: Premium Speakers with BluetoothVerified Purchase

Great sounding compact speakers for PC. They do have the (mandated) power saving standby mode, BUT there's a toggle switch on the back that allows you to turn it off! Also the standby is relatively quick to turn back on relative to other speakers I've tried. I got the bluetooth version, but it also has the standard 3.5mm stereo input jack as well.

I wish there was a bass and treble knob to adjust because the speakers are definitely tuned for music. So a bit bass-heavy for listening to people talk on youtube/podcasts. I ended up downloading a free EQ app that works fine, so no big deal, but knobs would be better.

Maybe a bit pricey, but I was so upset after trying the Creative Labs Gigaworks T20 that I just wanted something I knew I would like. These cost more, but produce better sound in a smaller footprint, and manage the standby mode so much better.

Comparison with the Bose Companion 2 Series III

Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2015

Style: Premium SpeakersVerified Purchase

I bought these and the Bose Companion 2 Series III Speakers. I have had the same Sony SRS-D21 2.1 Speaker system for almost 5 years now, and I was quite content with that. I never realized how much in music I was missing out when I had those. I first received the Companion III Speakers in the mail, and tested them for about 5 days before these NX-50s arrived.

What I liked about the Bose:
1. Does not distort even at max volume for any type of music
2. No feedback noise when volume dial is turned to the max and you are not listening to music
3. No "Sharp" or "High" sounding when listening to songs that can bother some people
4. Very balanced sound with slight bass emphasis
5. The small indent on the volume knob is easily felt in the dark to know where you turned your dial to. I like this because I like keeping this symmetric.
6. The volume knob also turns very solidly, and has a satisfying feel to it.

What I disliked about the Bose:
1. Sounds a little more muffled or "flat" when compared to the NX-50s. The Bose sounds very dull and has no liveliness to it (Keep in mind this is my opinion AFTER listening to the NX-50s. Before, I thought the Bose were great).
2. I was not expecting the speakers to be able to hit deep lows when listening to bass heavy songs (If you want to get that earthshaking bass, get a 2.1 speaker system or install a 8" or bigger sub woofer in your car). However, the bass is really thumpy and sounds unnatural to the song in most hiphop songs. For things likes Jazz and Blues, it was great.

Now for the Yamaha NX-50s!

What I like about the NX-50s:
1. Amazing, "colorful" and lively sounding. Expecially when playing things like jazz, classical, or any songs that don't have ridiculously low bass notes.
2. Much louder and voices are MUCH crisper.
3. Things like snaps, bells, and chimes all sound as if they are really in the room with you.
4. Small white LED indicator light to let you know its on.

What I disliked about the NX-50s:
1. Feedback noise at max volume is really annoying. So keep your volume at around 70% or lower and adjust your master volume on your computer to your looking.
2. Distorts at higher volumes for most songs I listened to.
3. Volume dial feels like it is much poorer quality compared to the Bose dial.
4. Bass rattles when it the notes are super low, and can make the voices in the songs feel like they are vibrating. Play some hip hop / rap and you will know what I mean.

CONCLUSION:
While both speakers are great, they both have their pros and cons. If you really don't want to spend well over $100 for desktop speakers, go for the Bose. Just know you are sacrificing some sound quality in my opinion. The Bose are noticeably more flat sounding than the Yamaha's. However, if you don't listen to them side by side, I'm sure it won't matter to you. The Yamaha Speakers sound amazing, but for more money. If you really enjoy listening to all the detail in a song, I would recommend going for the NX-50s. They are much louder, crisper, and more "surround sound" like. Just remember the pros and cons I found for both. Good luck choosing!

Outstanding computer speakers!

Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2022

Style: Premium SpeakersVerified Purchase

I had no idea what I was missing in sound quality on my computer speakers! When my previous speakers started going out, I decided to take a chance on these because I've had good experiences with Yamaha audio in the past. These computer speakers are amazing!

I am not an audiophile at all, but playing some of the same songs on these as on my old Creative speakers the day before, I swear it sounds like there is more to hear - everything sounds "richer." They literally weigh twice as much as my old Creative's, too, which, when speakers are concerned, usually means higher quality. If you're looking for some computer speakers, don't hesitate - grab these! You'll love them, and, more importantly, you'll love the way your music and videos sound!

P.S. Want more bass? I have a simple 3.5mm splitter and run a cord to a separate Yamaha YST-MSW5 subwoofer that's 20 years old and still cranks out some great base! Although that particular subwoofer isn't manufactured anymore, you could still get any normal standalone subwoofer (like those in the Yamaha YST product line) and pair it up with these speakers with a splitter and converter cable like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004YEBK66.

Just check your subwoofer specs to be sure of what kind of input it takes, and, if you can adjust it, be sure it's cutting out at the point where your desktop speakers cut in. In other words, ideally, you only want a given frequency range being handled by either your desktop speakers or your subwoofer, but not both.
