IK Multimedia iLoud Micro Monitor 50 watt Portable Wireless Bluetooth Studio Reference Monitors, Dual Speakers for Music Production, Mixing, Mastering, Composing, producing and DJs

I was looking for small size speakers with good sound and easy connection for my desktop computer. The iLoud Micro Monitor speakers fit the requirements quite well. The sparkers are tilted aligning to my ears. I used the 3.5mm analog connection to speakers and found the bass was emphasized and had to set the equalizer at -3dB, while maintaining the high and medium at flat. The high and mid are clear but not fatiguing. Do not hear any noise from the speakers when no sound. To control the computer volume more easily, I added a separate mechanical volume controller between the speakers and the computer. The compact speaker size is perfect for my small desk space. The speakers construction is high quality, they have grill to protect the tweeter/woofer components and I leave the speakers on all the time.

Introduction The quest for the perfect sound setup often leads to a myriad of choices, from various DACs to an array of speakers. However, the iLoud Micro Speakers emerge as a beacon in this crowded space, especially for those who have experienced the limitations of other brands. These compact speakers are not just another addition to the market; they represent a significant beating to the competition. Design and Size At first glance, the iLoud Micro Speakers impress with their compact and sleek design. Their small footprint is a perfect fit for any office or desk setup, making them ideal for those with limited space. Despite their size, these speakers pack an absolute punch, rivaling larger, more cumbersome models. Sound Quality The sound quality of the iLoud Micro Speakers is where they truly shine. They offer an auditory experience akin to being reborn. This is a drastic shift in the audio experience, likening it to seeing the world in color after a lifetime in black and white. The clarity, depth, and richness of the sound are unparalleled, especially considering their size and price point. Performance When it comes to performance, the iLoud Micro Speakers surpass expectations. They deliver a balanced and detailed sound across various genres of music. The bass is tight and punchy, the mids are clear and well-defined, and the highs are crisp without being harsh. This level of performance is typically found in more expensive, larger speakers. Comparison with Other Speakers The iLoud Micro Speakers stand out even more when compared to other speakers, such as the Klipsch bookshelf models. While Klipsch speakers are known for their quality, the iLoud Micros offer a more vibrant and immersive sound experience in a much smaller package. They challenge the notion that bigger is always better in the world of speakers. Price Value In terms of value for money, these speakers are unmatched. They deliver high-end audio quality at a fraction of the cost of other premium speakers. This makes them not only an excellent choice for audiophiles on a budget but also for anyone looking to upgrade their audio setup without breaking the bank. Recommendation For those craving an exceptional audio experience from their office computer or desk setup, the iLoud Micro Speakers are a must-have. They offer a combination of compact design, exceptional sound quality, and affordability for this level of sound. After years of searching and experimenting with different audio setups, it's clear that these speakers have no parallel at their price point.

I got these when they went on sale, for $200 they are normally $350. If you have seen YouTube reviews of these small monitors you likely already have seen that they punch way above their weight class. I cannot compare them to other monitors however ive owned much larger and more expensive speakers systems and these really are hard to describe. Their size should not be able to produce the volume and clarity they are capable of so easily. These do not come with the room correction mic or software the other more expensive offerings from this manufacture do. I personally dont need that but if you're doing professional mixing and mastering you'll likely want that. For regular bedroom dj's just making tracks the micros are fine and more than enough. They sound like speakers that should be twice their size and way more expensive. If you put these in the same room as a larger floor speaker setup and did a blind listening you would have a hard time telling which speakers were playing. They are that loud and clear. These are perfect computer speakers. I dont think you could get better for $200. They dont require any kind of interface, just anything that can use a 3.5 jack or blutooth. You good to go. Phones, tablets, computers, projectors can all be used with total ease. I own several sennheiser headphones and these are in the same league from a soundstage and clarity perspective. Loud and clean with minimal distortion at high volume. They shouldn't be capable of being this good for their size but they are.

Believe me, I was both skeptical and hopeful about ordering these speakers, after a couple of hours of reading and watching reviews I took the plunge. I have a small bedroom that I use for my home office and studio for recording and mixing and the size for the purported performance was just enough to push me to purchase. They arrived on time and packaged well. Hooked them up and. . . . . . . bummer! Sounded pretty bad. one speaker barley produced while the other one sounded ok. Also, was getting stereo bleed, that is to say not getting stereo separation (in my DAW). Hooked up both wire and Bluetooth same issue (PLEASE KEEP READING!). Was just about ready to pack them up and ship them back and to begin my quest once again for a pair of monitors. Just on a whim, decided give them a final listen just to drive the last nail. Moved them from beside my dual monitors and set them side by side. . . plugged everything back in . . . connected via Bluetooth . . . . pulled up a song . . . hit the play button and . . . . . wait for it. . . . . . wait for it. . . . . . it was one of those authentic WOW! moments. I promptly placed them back one on each side of my dual monitor workstation and hit the play button again and I have to say I am still thoroughly impressed. My skepticism has been swept away. I can only figure that something in the power cycle of the speakers or possibly reseating the speaker connection cable was the issue. I am so glad I did not ship them back. They just sound great! ( (please understand, I am not claiming these would stand up to a 6 or 8 inch set of monitors but then those would not fit on my desk either and I have been desperate to get away from exclusively mixing in my headphones) ). As a bonus, you can input via wire and wireless simultaneously and they sound great. For their size and portability coupled with their sound quality. all I can say is do not be afraid of these little sleepers. (BTW, this is the first time I have written a review of any product/purchase ever. You do your research and a product lives up to its description I reward by buying again. This review just warranted my first. . . nough' said. back Five Stars from me. ( two weeks later) Ok, well I hit a snag. . . had them for a week and the satellite speaker developed a terrible rattle/crackle when mixing any low end frequencies despite volume levels. The main speaker remained beautifully clear and punchy. Was sad to pack them up for return. The Amazon return process is great. Just received my refund notice and will be re-purchasing these speakers. I know that sometimes it just happens and am willing to give them another shot. My star rating will remain the same for now. . . . . fingers crossed, will update

These speakers offer an excellent soundstage for their size and price. They hit a nice sweet spot where they are useful for general purpose (way better than a soundbar for a TV) but also legitimate monitors. I use them for both and am consistently impressed with their reproduction of those key midrange frequencies that make music sound sweet. The bass is also impressive for being a 3" woofer. I have them mounted to mic stands and combined with the single satellite speaker cable, this makes for an extremely portable and flexible setup. At the price these normally sell for, they work well for PC speakers, mini hi-fi setups, multimedia, etc. If you ever see them on sale, I wouldn't hesitate.

Great sound. I heard these demonstrated by Piano Man Chuck. He compared these to the internal speakers of a Kawai ES 8, a keyboard which I own. I had not found studio monitors or an amp that can match the beautiful tone of the Kawai ES 8. When I heard Piano Man Chuck's comparison, I was impressed, the sound for the digital piano was almost exact! You can hear this on his youtube site. I have been looking into various amplifiers, monitors, etc to get the same sound from my Kawai MP7SE. I want the sound of the SK grand, and the EX, as well as the B3 and Church organ sounds to sound as good as if I am listening through a board or quality head phones. the IK i Louds are by far the best. So why only a 4? I gave it a 4-star rating because when I set my Kawai to the first setting, SK Concert Grand, C5, the octave above middle C creates an unbearable sympathetic vibration buzz from the right speaker. I had to press my finger on the bottom of the grille to silence it. pushed on the grille and that solved the problem for a short time only. I called Amazon and they shipped me another set overnight! No charge. I unwrapped the box and took out the right speaker only. I plugged it in and low and behold, the horrid buzzing sympathetic vibration on C5 is the same. RATS! I tried to create a shim to press on the grate around the bottom edge, but the depth of the speaker housing will not let me secure a shim of rubber, electrical tape or folded paper. I attempted to pull the grate off, but its one there tight, but by pulling up on the bottom of the grate with a screwdriver, I was able to alter the grate enough to squelch the vibration. I bought the MP7 SE because it has the same newer action of the ES 8, the same sounds, and a lot more sounds, many more organ, and brass sounds. I wanted the MP7SE because I can mimic many pipe organ sounds, I can blend 4 channels at once, I can set overlapping splits, and the B3 C3 sounds are incredible. For most gigs that I would do, the iLouds at 50 watts will be sufficient, I can also run the Kawai into one of my mixing boards and run another out into a larger external set of speakers or into another amp to supplement and enhance the volume while keeping the same iLoud sound. I did something similar with the ES8 keeping the internal speakers on while running a line out into a larger amp, like a 100 watt or 200 watt Roland or Peavey, or any hi quality sounding amp with one, two or three-way speakers. At home I had actually been running my Kawai MP7SE into an Aric Audio custom made hi fi pre amp into a 100 watt ADCOM amp connected to a set of ALON 1 speakers. Nice sound. Since I got the iLouds I have not, they give me a purer balanced sound like the ES 8 but with more power. The ES 8 has 30 watts internal. The setting on the back sound good too. I use "desk" and keep the high end flat, and when I boost the volume to 3/4 up, I cut the low end, and I still get plenty of low end. The bass on the B3 patches really comes out. The low end of the pianos sound full and balanced too, the sound is authentic and crisp.

I am not an audio expert, but these sound great. I did a lot of research, and after watching many reviews, I went with these. They have a great audio profile and they are super easy to set up and use. I am using them with a small home audio/music studio and they are perfect for that use case. Hint: get the white version.

I got these on sale for $200. So keep that in mind with my review, as I did not pay the full price of $300. But that said, these things sound incredible. The sound curve seems decently flat in the environments i have used them (there is an eq on the back incase you aren't using them for music production and want more bass). The blue tooth had no real noticeable latency when used on ipad, although I mostly use these with my sp404mk2 plugged in. (They can either be connected via Bluetooth, 3.5mm or stereo RCA. I bought a set of stereo 1/4" TS to RCA cables to use with my gear. ) These things sounds great and are really as close to true portable powered speakers as you can get. And might even sound as good if not better than my home studio speakers. As a heads up- They do require to be plugged into an outlet, they do not run on usb.

The only thing I would say is if you are going to use these in a dark room. Get the black ones instead. The LED is very bright, and even if you block it, it will shine through the white plastic.

Dzis je otrzymalem i rozpakowalem i podlaczylem do pc przez bluetooth.. graja pieknie i mieszcza sie na najmniejszym biurku z ikei :D Za ~1050 zl sa przewspaniale i ciesza dzwiekiem, az napisalem swoja pierwsza recenzje na amazonie ;) I zaraz zwracam niby porzadny sound bar od creative, ktory ma wstretny dzwiek :) Te male cuda daja radosc sluchania. Regulacja ustawienia w podstawce bardzo przydatna. EDIT: Jak kazde aktywne kolumny (z zasilaniem) wydaja siebie przy braku sygnalu delikatny minimalny syk. Jezeli on przeszkadza niestety trzeba juz wskoczyc na polke 2x cenowo wyzej oraz w wiekszy rozmiar. Ja pozostaje przy iLoudach :)

These may look small but are two powerful set of monitors. Sound quality is maybe not that flat but there is value for money. You may go for it.

Impresionante sonido para su tamaño. Balanceado con graves que llegan a 45 hz. La construcción es solida excepto el interruptor de encendido, que tiene juego.
