Needs longer cables

I’m just not quite sure about the Rockus 3D now that I’ve come to the end of it. It’s a strong 2.1 setup that I think sounds great most of the time. But there’s been a lot of emphasis put on this 3D setting, and I’m just...

To sum up, the Rockus 3D 2.1 speakers deliver okay music playback with an edgy sort of breathiness to vocals. Stereo imaging is quite good and the bass isn’t boomy, as it often is with desktop speakers. They don’t sound particularly...

Unfortunately, with great speakers like the Logitech Z623s or classics like Klipsch’s Promedia 2.1s going for $50 less, I just can’t recommend these Antecs. Looks like the longtime hardware maker still has a lot to learn about making a...
