Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + Bass and treble knobs on the side let you tune the sound to a room without an app.
  • + Optical and coaxial inputs connect a TV, while Bluetooth handles a phone or tablet.
  • + Studio style 4 inch drivers and 13mm silk dome tweeters are a step up from budget pairs.

Trade-offs

  • - It costs well over double the cheapest pairs here, so it suits a more serious setup.
  • - Turntable connection relies on a separate phono preamp unless the turntable has one built in.
