Will make you think you're an audiophile

These little gems are one of the best audio deals on Amazon if you're looking to upgrade your PC setup or want to add music just about anywhere.First off, you feel the sound coming from these. The bass is punchy and will make you look twice. The best part of this, and this is a direct result of the even response curve, is you hear music, or more realisticly, sounds in your music, you didn't before.They get loud enough to drown out any sounds in a medium sized room, and do not distort when you crank it up. I am honestly amazed at what you get for the price, especially if you puck them up at the $70 price when on sale.As for deep bass, you may want to consider a subwoofer, but this depends on what you want to use these speakers for. I replaced a pair of Bose Companion (Series 2) in my office and these a definitely an improvement.Connectivity options give you a lot of leeway in that you can use the standard audio connections (RCA, 3.5 mm cable) or use banana jacks (TRS) too. My biggest nit is that there's no mention of LDAC or AptX support for Bluetooth, and these codecs matter for the best possible sound. One cool feature is that you can use 2 different inputs for Aux (RCA and 3.5 mm) and they both work at the same time. This is not documented afaik.Build quality is excellent, and a lot of reviews mention issues with the volume knob not being specific enough (too large a volume jump between clicks), but it's not really that big of a deal. Overall these speakers are one of Amazon's hidden gems.Ver más

Unbelievable

It's hard to believe speakers this small can sound so good. There's plenty of punch to the low end, the mids are warm and the highs are nice and crisp. The Bluetooth connection is quick and stable. Separate base and treble controls are a great advantage. I'm so happy with this purchase.Ver más

Amazing for the size and money!

WOW! Tons of volume, super clear, bass for days if you want it. Auto shuts off on its own. Looks fantastic. No remote, but if BT controls that or if using for studio monitors you would be right there so no need.

Good versatility for desktop creators. A nice upgrade from standard speakers.

This is a solid choice if you're interested in bridging the gap between cheap computer speakers and expensive professional gear. The C7s are a great choice at this price.The variety of inputs is easily the best feature. Having Bluetooth 5.3 for your phone, USB-C (with a built-in DAC) for your laptop, and TRS balanced inputs for an audio interface makes these incredibly flexible for a modern desk setup. I'm running from a Focusrite Vocaster Two, and I'm a happy guy.The ability to toggle between "Monitor" and "Music" modes is useful. Monitor mode offers a flatter response that is great for editing video or podcasts, while Music mode adds a nice "V-shaped" boost for casual listening. The mids and highs are crisp and clear thanks to the silk dome tweeters.At this price point, expect some trade-offs:Bass: With 3.5-inch drivers, you shouldn't expect room-shaking low end. They are clear, but they lack "thump." If you produce bass-heavy music, you’ll likely need an external sub.Idle Hiss: Like many budget active monitors, there is a very faint "white noise" hiss when the speakers are on but silent. It’s not noticeable once music starts, but worth noting if you work in a dead-silent room.This may be isolated to my set, but when turning the volume up from silent, the volume "jumps" rather than climb smoothly. It's not a deal breaker, but it can be annoying, depending on the use case.Bottom line: they look sleek, feel premium, and sound far better than my Logitech speakers, which cost more, but lack that balanced input. Solid 4 out of 5.Ver más

Amazing

These Ortizan speakers exceeded my expectations! The sound quality is crisp and powerful, with surprisingly deep bass for their size. Pairing was quick and easy, the Bluetooth connection has been reliable, and the battery lasts a long time even with regular use. They’re also well-built and easy to take anywhere, making them perfect for both indoor listening and outdoor gatherings. Overall, they offer outstanding value for the price, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for an affordable, high-quality portable speaker.Ver más

Excellent mostly neutral near-field monitors, especially for the price.

TLDR: Excellent mostly neutral near-field monitors, especially for the price. They sound great over a wide range of audio, but can be overwhelmed by audio that is too busy. The volume knob goes by steps that may not seem even. To fix, lower the bluetooth output to the speaker.Setting up the Ortizan C7 speakers was very easy. I have them in a nearfield configuration about 2ft in front of me and 2ft above me. They are angled downward by maybe 1 or 2 degrees. The power cable and the left cable are both long enough for my setup, but I think the left cable maybe too short (a little over 4ft) for some people.For reference, I have been listening through Sennheiser HD600 headphone for over a year. Source is either the PC through Optics or a Raspberry Pi 2 + 502DAC Coaxial into a Schiit Gungnir A1 (true OG). Single-Ended output goes through a Jensen IsoMax, Schiit SYS, and into a Black Widow headphone amp. I usually listen at medium low volume. So, all sound observations are referenced to that.Sound for <$40 per speaker with built in power supply is phenomenal. Obviously, 3.5” drivers can only go so low, even ported. Low bass is okay and can make things rattle that on the same shelf (I added some heavy rubber feet to help prevent vibration transfer). Bass is obviously much better than the HD600, but still feels slightly punchy instead of rumbling. Overall, the tone of the speakers is fairly neutral. Mids are slightly brighter. Treble is smooth. To me, there were no real deficits or annoying frequencies to my ears. The speakers can handle everything from classical/folk, synthpop, EDM, soundtracks, explosions, etc. It does get a little muddy when playing very dense music like symphonic metal. These speakers also produce an excellent sound stage and are well tuned between left and right. The speakers blend perfectly to create that phantom center sound source.At high volumes, the mid-base gets extremely thumpy, and the bass gets distorted, so the speaker is not sonically good anymore.Other pluses include, easy to read back panel that is well labeled. Audio notifications are preset to English (no need to switch languages like many other Chinese-made audio electronics).Build quality seems solid. However, my left speaker has a small misalignment between right side and bottom panels that produces a slight gap (the other gaps are much smaller or practically gone). The front fascia is white plastic, while the rest of the speaker is probably MDF that has been painted with a texture. The plastic fascia is matte and smooth, so the look of the speaker doesn’t quite match.The biggest quirk is the volume knob. I am guessing this is a stepped attenuator and not a stepped encoder that has been limited to 18 steps. I like that this uses a stepped attenuator as they are usually more robust and are resistant to developing scratchiness or drop outs like analog potentiometers. The biggest issue is that step 1 is almost silent. Step 2 is like a whisper. Step 3 is suddenly raised voice/loud talking. That is a big jump from 2 to 3. This is with Bluetooth output at full scale (100%). To make the volume knob work sort of as expected, I lowered the Bluetooth output to 50% in the sound panel. After that, I get a more even increase in volume per step, such that step 3 becomes a loud whisper and Step 7 is loud talking. Also, the maximum amplification is still sonically cohesive.
