### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Sound System for a Laptop
*by A***R on January 29, 2026*

Great value. Works as expected. Gets the job done. Really happy with this purchase.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ear pads need improvement
*by M***E on October 2, 2025*

Ear pads wear out quickly and the covering flakes off. They are very snug and my ears hurt after wearing them a short time. The sound is good. If they would fix the ear pads I’d give them 5 stars.
