I got these speakers to hook up to my Amazon Echo Spot. Amazing sound well balanced with just the right amount of base. Like the standby mode eliminating the need to turn speakers off and on every time. If you’re looking for a set of high guality well built speakers look no further these are the best hands down.

5.0 out of 5 stars yamaha never lets me down
Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2024
Style: Premium Speakers with BluetoothVerified Purchase
Great sounding compact speakers for PC. They do have the (mandated) power saving standby mode, BUT there's a toggle switch on the back that allows you to turn it off! Also the standby is relatively quick to turn back on relative to other speakers I've tried. I got the bluetooth version, but it also has the standard 3.5mm stereo input jack as well.

I wish there was a bass and treble knob to adjust because the speakers are definitely tuned for music. So a bit bass-heavy for listening to people talk on youtube/podcasts. I ended up downloading a free EQ app that works fine, so no big deal, but knobs would be better.

Maybe a bit pricey, but I was so upset after trying the Creative Labs Gigaworks T20 that I just wanted something I knew I would like. These cost more, but produce better sound in a smaller footprint, and manage the standby mode so much better.

I am quite picky when it comes to my sound. I researched quite a bit and came across these. I absolutely think I made the right decision. I've had them for 3 years now and they still hold up. Great balanced sound, not tinny, has a good base for being so small. Don't take up a lot of room on my already full desk.

4.0 out of 5 stars Respectable performance at this price point, handily outperforms Bose and Logitech
Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2019
Style: Premium SpeakersVerified Purchase
For about a hundred bucks, these absolutely crush similar speakers from Bose and Logitech. While Yamaha is not as popular when it comes to computer speakers, they are no stranger to speakers in general and it's apparent that the engineering and design didn't suffer from corner-cutting.

Sound is highly subjective so I won't go into great detail here. What I will say is that despite the single small cone in each enclosure (the top portion is actually just for porting), the sound is quite detailed and doesn't suffer from artificial boosting. While the small cone can't reach very deep, Yamaha doesn't play games like Bose does by running huge ports and internal tubing to produce muddy bass from small speakers. Instead, the sound naturally tapers off and clarity is retained in the mids and highs. If you want speakers that will thump and let you "feel" explosions, go buy a 2.1 system.

Some reviewers complained of distortion at higher volumes. I'm not sure what kind of room they were using these in, and what the source was, but from a Lenovo laptop in an office/small bedroom, these are plenty loud. Perhaps for a larger room (like for use with a TV in a family room), they're underpowered. These are only 7W per channel, so people need to manage their expectations. For near-field listening, meaning desktop/laptop computers, you'll find they're still loud enough even at half power.

I didn't have a chance to test the dual-input mixing. Frankly, I'm not sure what the use case for this is -- possibly if you had some microphones and were doing a live Q&A session?

Build quality seems sufficient at this price point. No cheesy cloth speaker grilles and the button + dial both operate smoothly. Again, for $100, I think the construction is at least as good as the competition. I'm not sure why the speaker-to-speaker connection cable is hard-wired as it sort of limits flexibility / later repair, but this probably won't matter to most people.

I ultimately returned these to get something with larger cones (read: more bass). However, if someone asked me to recommend a speaker for desktop/laptop use that won't break the bank, I would probably suggest these. Yamaha has prioritized a clean and accurate sound over fake bass extension.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice speakers for listening to music
Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2021
Style: Premium SpeakersVerified Purchase
I use an 8-year old Dell Latitude laptop for music in the kitchen while cooking / eating, and for general listening around the house. Just the standard audio card and drivers, nothing extra or upmarket. And these speakers sound great with it! Nice full sound and crisp highs. Don’t need to turn it up much to get good volume, so haven’t run into the situation the other reviewers mention about distortion at loud levels.

One caveat... certain bass tones can be over-emphasized, I suppose due to a combination of the speakers’ loudness boost, the bass port, and just their small size. So things like announcers / people with deep voices talking / some low instruments, can sound “box-y” depending on how they were originally recorded. Very easily fixed with an equalizer, though. I use the Equalizer APO and its related Peace UI front end (found on SourceForge.net) to lower a certain range in the bass, and the sound smooths out very well. All in all an enjoyable low budget setup.

UPDATE 7/19/2021 - This review is for the Yamaha NX-50 wired speakers. For some reason it also shows up in the listing for the Yamaha NX-B55 wireless Bluetooth speakers. They may or may not be the same as far as sound quality goes, I have no way of knowing. But it is interesting that, at least as of today, the listing for the NX-50 speakers no longer has Amazon as a seller. The Yamaha website still has info on the NX-50's so maybe it is a (temporary?) supply problem. Anyway, the wired version continues to sound good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Crisp, lively, tight sound
Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2021
Style: Premium SpeakersVerified Purchase
I listen to my music at lower levels while I work at my desk. The music is on constantly as background noise for me. These Yamaha NX-50's shine with jazz, rock, indie. The vocals are sharp and tight, pianos and horns are crisp. I have them set wide apart on my desk and there's great soundstage to the sound. The sound doesn't feel colored, but very neutral from song to song.

These are not huge, the speakers are about 2.5 inches and there's not much bass. So if you're coming from something like a bose or maybe a set of beats headphones you won't get that low end. overall I'm happy with the purchase. Cheers.

Edit: Let these burn in for a couple of days before you make up your mind. They definitely open up after a couple of days. They sounded "harsh" the first couple of hours. After a couple of weeks, they really sound great.

3.0 out of 5 stars Early failure...
Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2024

Awesome sound out of the box! Now less than 12 months later, main control speaker has developed an unbearable buzzing to the point where I have to shift away from stereo to mono sound from a single speaker. Unfortunately, Amazon's "return window" closed a month after purchase (May 2023) so I'm left no choice but to replace $117 speakers...I guess you get what you pay for? Severely disappointed...
