Pros
Pro Combines a fun sound, a number of connectivity options and tone controls at a great price
With the S1000DB, you get a fun and detailed sound, versatile connectivity and the option to adjust the sound signature. Not many high end speakers offer this feature set, and not at this relatively affordable price.
Pro Multiple connectivity options
The S1000DB speakers are compatible with a wide range of audio source devices. Available connections include coaxial and optical inputs, analog RCA and even Bluetooth. These will work with computers, TVs, smartphones, tablets, game consoles and many more.
Pro Fun sound with slight emphasis on the bass and highs
These speakers are quite fun to listen to and will make music, as well as game and movie audio sound lively. The highs are slightly boosted but do not get harsh. This results in audio that is detailed and airy.
The low-end is also boosted, so bass hits have good thump and power while explosions, gunshots and similar sound effects from movies and games will really stand out.
The mids are not boosted but instead sound natural, warm and full-bodied so vocals and guitars will still sound pretty good.
Pro The sound signature can be adjusted to your liking
The S1000DB has knobs at the rear of the main speaker. Along with volume control, you can adjust the bass and treble levels so you can get audio performance that fits you better.
Pro A remote allows convenient control of speaker functionality
The included remote control is very convenient to use. You’ll be able to cycle through the different inputs, adjust volume, mute the speakers or switch them on/off.
Cons
Con The highs and lows can overpower the mids
The boosted highs and bass may drown out the details of the mids. This can be noticeable when listening to rock music or when watching movie scenes where there are a lot of explosions while the characters are speaking.
Con Tone controls can be hard to reach
The tone control knobs are situated at the back of the speakers, making them difficult to reach. While this ensures that the design of the speakers looks clean, you’ll have to go through some guesswork with regards to the levels of the volume, bass, and treble.
