Eagle Tech ET-AR504LR-BK 2.1 Soundstage Speakers with Subwoofer & Remote
I bought these speakers after reading this review. The Packaging was top notch and the the speakers looked nice and stealthy. So I connected this to my Ipod and played a very high quality Mp3 track…there was very little sound so I turned the speaker AND MP3 volume to max. I WAS SHOCKED that at MAX sound the performance of these speakers was horrendous. the volume was barely audible and muffled. I tried to play with the settings but to no avail. Cant even return this POS. Guys these ARE NOT LOUD. My 10 year old Labtech speakers that are quarter the size of these would eat this system for breakfast. This is an overpriced paper weight and I am SO DISAPPOINTED. I am going to call Eagletech to see if there could be something wrong, but I dont think there is. Folks YOU CANNOT compare this system to the top of the line systems out there from logitech, bose, creative, etc. I wasted my money on this and the reviews misled me big time.

Even though the speakers specifically state that they can be used with a PC, they were not magnetically shielded and messed up the display screen on my monitor.

With a 4+ average rating on this system, I guess I was expecting more, especially given the high power rating and overall size. Thought the sound was pretty muddy. I understand we’re dealing with only a $50 system here, but in comparing to a $30-35 Cambridge Soundworks/PCWorks system purchased around 12 years ago which is starting to give me some trouble, I was pretty disappointed. I would love to get my hands on another one of those… maybe I’ll give Creative a shot… I believe they bought out Cambridge.

After reading all the rave reviews I couldn’t wait until these speakers were delivered. I bought them to replace the Altec Lansing speakers I had temporarily pirated from my PC to hook up to my new HDTV. What sold me was the remote capability so I could mute or adjust volume and bass/treble without walking to the speakers and doing it manually. The setup to the TV was easy using a RCA/earphone jack adaptor. The cables between speakers, as others have said, are too short. The initial sound was okay but the controls on the subwoofer are cumbersome. The remote doesn’t work well and I have been unable to increase the volume above a low/medium range using either the remote or manually. Luckily my PS3 Blu-Ray has a volume increase adjustment that I can use when watching DVD’s. I am concerned also about how well these are shielded as the short cables make it necessary to place close to my DVR expansion drive. The 10 year old Altecs with a subwoofer sounded as well, also, but I need these for my PC. I would just swap these and use the Eagles for the PC but am concerned again about the shielding and not having a remote for the TV. I will continue to try to get the volume adjustment and remote to work but if I can’t I will return these and look for something better.

I ordered a set of these, but was confused by the lack of volume indicator. I swore there was supposed to be a volume indicator.
I was right. The Amazon picture clearly shows a volume, treble, and bass indicator on the front LED. I could hear the volume etc. go up and down, but there was no indicator. I couldn’t be sure if I was near the high end or in the middle (the manual recommends 30% – 80% volume for best clarity).
OK. No big deal. Every factory has some amount that slips through. So, I sent those back and ordered a replacement (from Amazon again).
The second set arrived. With the exact same problems. Clearly, Eagle Tech has some quality issues.
I STRONGLY recommend against buying these for a few months until Eagle Tech can figure out their quality issues (or until someone else writes a good review confirming the problems are fixed). Hit ‘em where it hurts: in the wallet. Don’t waste your time ordering systematically defective products.
P.S. In case anyone is wondering: Yes, I did read the manual. I tried every setting available. I could hear the volume go up and down, but could not see it on the LED.
