Pros:Good soundhigh quality (wood) subwoofer with exceptional bassnice volumegood value, low priceconvenient headphone jack on front
Cons:a little distortion at high frequencies and very high volumesnot as loud as some sub-400 dollar systems.
Final statement: And please please do not get those cheaply made 50 dollar 5 pc sets. They are [junk]! You can hardly even hear the output even though it has good volume. They aren't near the quality of the 424.
When my friend saw them and heard them he then went out and got some. These are nice speakers.
