I'm not an audiophile by any stretch of the imagination, and I have nothing to compare these to, but I really couldn't be happier with them. The sound is crisp and clear. I haven't blasted them super loud yet, but even the little loudness that I've afforded myself has had plenty of oomph. I'm not looking for super loud speakers though, keep that in mind. I also got these speakers on an awesome deal, so I'll definitely say they're worth the money *I* paid for them.
