The R1700BT has a very good sound performance which is enhanced by Bluetooth connectivity, tone controls, and remote functionality. Other speakers in this price category usually don't have such a combination of useful features.

With the R1700BT, you won’t need to deal with wired connectivity issues. These speakers can connect to audio sources via Bluetooth, so you can easily pair these with smartphones, tablets, and other Bluetooth-enabled audio sources.

These speakers are really easy to set up because there is a built-in amp. You can connect them directly to an audio source without a receiver or an external speaker amplifier.

With the remote, you can turn the speakers on or off, adjust volume, mute the sound, or switch between Bluetooth and wired sources.

You can easily tweak the sound of these speakers using the tone control knobs on the right speaker. You can adjust volume, treble, and bass to better suit your preferences.

The speakers have full sounding mids with a slightly boosted bass. Vocals, guitar, and keys can be easily heard and sound good; bass hits have good power. Hip-hop and dance music as well as movie and game audio sound great, with dialogue easy to hear and understand.

You don't need to worry if your audio sources do not have Bluetooth. There are 2 RCA input connections so you can still hook up to two wired devices.
