HiVi-Swans OS-10 HiFi Stereo Speakers, Bluetooth 5.0 Active Computer Bookshelf Speakers - 4'' Dynamic Woofer, Powered Desk Speakers 62w RMS with Touch Control for PC/Phone/TV/Monitor (Pair)

These speakers are breathtaking. I've tried them in two different setups: near-field listening on my desk and on top of ELAC bookshelves with speaker stands. To get the best sound, I recommend placing the speakers on stands and giving them at least 2-3 feet of space from the wall for the rear ports to breathe. For near-field listening, they have detailed and clear mid-range. The treble can be a little fatiguing at this distance, but that can be solved through equalization. Despite the small size of the speakers, the low end is surprisingly good. 80Hz-100Hz is punchy and detailed. 60Hz-70Hz is where it starts to drop off, but it’s still audible at this distance. 40Hz-59Hz drops off harder and is much less audible. Below 40Hz is pretty much non-existent. But what more can you expect from little 4” woofers. Overall the sound signature is quite flat, which I like. As far as imaging and sound stage they are very impressive, they are quite wide with instruments and vocals that don't sound like they're coming directly from the drivers. When placed on speaker stands, the extra room and distance greatly improves the sound quality, making the speakers sound even more impressive. The treble fatigue is reduced, and the low end is improved. The imaging and sound stage are greatly enhanced, and the speakers truly sound massive. Simply incredible. I've connected the speakers in three ways: RCA from my ifi Zen DAC V1, S/PDIF optical from my PC, and Bluetooth. How do each sound? Well, as far as purity, technically optical should sound the best as these speakers use a DSP crossover. So sending them an analog signal is going to get converted back to digital, then the crossover will be applied, then the speaker's internal DAC will convert them back to analog. Personally, I hear no difference between RCA and optical on these speakers. Bluetooth sounds just okay, I believe it's using the AAC codec, though it could be aptX, so it's not going to be as good as LDAC or other Hi-Res codecs. I encountered an issue where the speakers would emit a low-frequency hum if they were turned on and set to the AUX input while the DAC was off. However, since I keep my DAC on all the time, this won't be a concern for me. If this humming sound bothers you, you might want to consider using optical, coaxial, or Bluetooth instead. One thing that would make these speakers even better is if they had an LFE output on the speakers for a subwoofer. But if you use RCA, you could buy a splitter, pass one to the speakers, and the other to a powered sub that has line in. You would need to have a DAC that can act as a preamp otherwise you would have to change volume on the speakers and the sub which would be annoying. My reference speakers are the ELAC Uni-Fi 2.0 UB52 and Emotiva Airmotiv SE12 with the topping E30 DAC and Yamaha as301 integrated (I wasn’t using the sub for the comparisons as it wouldn’t be fair.) The OS-10s are impressively close in terms of sound quality, with nearly the same imaging, sound stage, and detail as the ELACs. The 100Hz-130Hz range on the OS-10s is actually cleaner than the ELACs. I blind A/B’d between the two and was stunned as there is very little difference. If the ELAC’s are 100% in terms of overall quality then the OS-10’s are 97%. It’s unreal. As Zeos said in his video, if these cost $400, they would still be worth every penny. Note: If you prefer neutral sound, you'll love these speakers. However, if you're a bass head, these speakers may not be for you as it's difficult to connect a subwoofer. My overall ratings based on the price: Sound quality: 10/10 Imaging: 9/10 Vertical off-axis Imaging: 9/10 Horizontal off-axis Imaging: 8/10 Sound stage: 9/10 Instrumental Separation: 9/10 Low end: 9/10 Mid range: 10/10 Treble: 9/10 Features: 8/10 (LFE out would make it a 10) Remote: 8/10 (It works, but you need to point it within 10 degrees of the IR receiver) Value: 10/10 Build quality/design: 10/10 Overall a 9/10, but considering the sheer value, they are getting an easy 10/10.

Ich würde mich als ambitionierten Hifi Freund bezeichnen. Über die Jahre habe ich unzählige und teils extrem hochpreisige Lautsprecher in meinem Hörraum spielen lassen. Eine gewisse Erfahrung ist also vorhanden. Gesucht hatte ich kleine Lautsprecher für meinen Schreibtisch, da meine Heco Ascada sich dauerhaft verabschiedet habenn, brauchte ich eine Alternative. Ziel war einen etwas kleinerer Lautsprecher zu finden, ohne auf allzuviele Kompromisse in der Abspielqualität eingehen zu müssen. Nach vielem lesen von Erfahrungsberichten, und vor allen da ich mit der Firma Swans auch im Wohnzimmer sehr! gute Erfahrungen gesammelt habe, entschied ich mich für die OS10. Was soll ich sagen. Optisch sehr hübsch anzusehen, haben sie mich vor allem bei hören mehr als begeistert. Saubere Höhen ohne zu analytisch zu werden, und ein sauberer sehr weiter Raum beim hören. Sie spielen weich und ausgesprochen musikalisch. Die eigens für diese kleinen Würfel entworfenen Seidenkalotten sind deutlich besser als erwartet. Mitte und Bass bleiben natürlich begrenzt, was ich aber durch einen kleinen Subwoofer bestens aufgefangen habe. Die Lautsprecher bleiben auch bei höheren Pegel überraschend stabil und liefern ein musikalisch angenehmes Vergnügen. Aus diesem Grund hatte ich mich gegen die iload Micro Monitore entschieden, die ich auch in der Auswahl hatte. Diese spielen zwar insgesamt noch eine Ecke erwachsener, decken aber zuviele Schwächen bei einzelnen Stilrichtungen auf. Ich wollte keine analytischen, sondern musikalischen Lautsprecher. Ich nutze sie zum hören bei der Arbeit und zum schauen von Filmen und youtube. Alles machen sie für meine Erwartungen mehr als perfekt. Insbesondere zu einem Preis von 200 € bezweifel ich stark, dass es vergleichbare bessere Alternativen gibt. Klare Kaufempfehlung

Actualmente tenia los edifier 1280db los usaba con un preamp de bulbos fosi pero no notaba mucha diferencia en calidad, después de investigar bocinas calidad precio encontré estas por reseñas en YouTube, y me lleve una total sorpresa, la calidad y potencia comparado con las edifier es brutal, las recomiendo totalmente principalmente para dar un paso en la audiofilia.

I really loved the sound from these speakers. Love the fact that they have all kinds of inputs to play audio. I didn’t notice much drop in quality through Bluetooth either. I’m using Spotify and tuning up the equalizers in the Spotify, it’s working well to fine tune the sound to my liking. Out of the box sound is also very well balanced. They seem to have a quality built. Haven’t noticed any hissing or rattling yet. I could not expect a better speaker for this price. The areas of improvement: There is no subwoofer output that makes connecting a subwoofer a bit tricky but not very hard or expensive. I will try a powered subwoofer on it eventually. My other complaint is that they are not offering other speakers in the Canadian market, which does not induce much confidence in the buyers mind. Other than that, it’s a great product and I give it 5 stars.

Muy buenos altavoces. Son los primeros que uso con DPS y quedé impresionado por la calidad de audio. Lo único que me gustaría es que tenga la opción de controlar el bass y treble. Recomiendo siempre usarlo con música digital.
