Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I had been using an old pair of computer speakers that were making funny noises (low whine when turned on), and had been eying these Bose speakers as a replacement for some time. I finally decided to order them after someone sent me an Amazon gift card for Christmas. They are AWESOME. When I plugged them into the wall and into my computer, I didn't even realize that they were turned on. They were completely silent at 50% volume. I was completely surprised when I started up a game and BOOM, they came to life with a roar. The sound quality is crystal clear. These are easily the best speakers in my house now, much to the chagrin of my wife, who does not always share my taste in music. I am also super impressed that they are completely silent when they are turned on -- even at max volume there is no telltale speaker hiss to be heard. I am very satisfied with these, and I would definitely spend the $100 on these again.
