Review: Öncelikle kutu içeriğinden bahsedeyim, hoparlör kablosu, usb kablosu, 3.5mm stereo kablo ve iki sevimli hoparlör. Sizi hiç uğraştırmıyorlar tak çalıştır ve dinlemeye başla cinsinden. Basları şaşırtıcı derecede iyi fakat orta ve yüksek frekanslar için aynı şeyi söyleyemeyeceğim. Zaten bu fiyata da çok bir beklentiniz olmasın.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you have to shut these down when your not using the computer? ie Do they go into a low power mode with no input?**
A: Kevin,It's best to turn these off as they do not have a standby mode like our YU3, YU5, or YUMI speakers. You can turn them on or off by using the volume control on the rear of the speakers. If you have any other questions feel free to contact us directly at support@kantoliving.com

**Q: Can I use the 3.5mm input & USB DAC simultaneously? I'd like to play music from my iPod (via 3.5mm) while also hearing sounds from my PC via USB.**
A: Chase,You can have two devices connected to the YU2's at the same time using USB and AUX. Since you don't have to choose which input is playing both sources can actually play at the same time. Our speakers should work well for the situation you've described. Contact us directly using the support button on our site if you have any other questions, thanks.

**Q: Can I just plug these into my computer or do I need extra equipment like an amp? I can't find a thorough review or unboxing anywhere. Thanks**
A: No amp required: the amp built into the left speaker. It comes with everything needed to connect to almost any computer.

They sound very nice. Better than 99% of computer speakers. For music, you probably want to add a powered subwoofer.

**Q: What subwoofer can I use for these speakers?**
A: Richie,Any powered subwoofer that can accept an RCA input will work. Contact us directly using the support button on our site if you have any other questions, thanks.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by 7***7 on 17 August 2023*

TL;DR – These are great. I am very impressed with the sound for their size (they can easily go "too loud" for desktop speakers while maintaining said quality) and they look good. Prior to buying these speakers, I was using a Dell Stereo Soundbar hidden behind my monitor for minimalism, but on hot summer days with a fan or AC going, I was having trouble hearing it at max volume. I had been searching for an alternative that would give me better sound without being an eyesore and I am really happy I happened across these. I am using them through the 3.5mm AUX port plugged into my monitor with a KVM switch to my PC and Mac and they sound great on both systems out of the box without needing to futz with an EQ. I didn't have the problem another reviewer mentioned about popping when rebooting or switching between systems. They're small enough that they aren't dramatically impacting the minimalist(ish) look I'm going for with my desk and aren't a bother visually, although they're not as small as you could go, of course. I think this is a good compromise, on the balance. Big enough to get quality sound (and they go quite loud, no more risk of me not being able to hear audio over the sound of the AC), small enough that they aren't the main focal point. As someone who wouldn't describe themselves as an audiophile, I would say these are priced a bit high for what they are, but I was willing to pay the premium for the look. The stands (sold separately) are very reasonably priced and kick the look up a notch while also serving a practical purpose of directing the sound toward your head. My only criticism or suggested area for improvement is the LED indicator on the front of the left speaker – it's very bright and you have no way of controlling that. It also sticks out from body of the speaker, so you can't use something like LightDims stickers to cut the brightness. All in all, good product and if you can justify spending this amount of money on computer speakers, you likely won't regret it.
