TIBO Plus 1.1 Active HiFi Bookshelf Bluetooth Speakers - Premium UK Designed Wireless Bookshelf Speakers for Home Audio, Gaming & Music - Black | Perfect for Living Room, Bedroom & Office Use

A lot of reviews seem to have been from people who were given these speakers for free. Where are my free speakers? Anything free would be welcomed thanks! So seeing as no one has given me any free stuff to date all my reviews are purely from the perspective of a regular consumer.These speakers are very good. I like the fact that they are not at all hyped in any way. They are clear, clean and controlled. The bass goes lower than I thought but of course being so small the bass is limited. They do not go particularly loud either but they do in general go loud enough. I have only had them a day so nothing here is in depth. I am listening to them right now and they are very nice. An acid test I think is when you hear stuff you haven't heard before. Consider the fact that I have a VERY good hifi system and multiple systems at that at my disposal and you should understand that these are more than decent. I would say that you could use them easily as a small studio monitor. Yes they are that good. The fact that they are quite smooth and easily let you hear 'into' a recording then they could be considered a bit of a bargain. The sub out is a great feature. I am using them right now with a Rel Quake subwoofer. A full replay system from 20hz to 20,000hz. A very small full range system. They are probably best used as nearfield monitors as they don't have enough power to fill a room. With regards to using them with a subwoofer you will need something very well controlled. Especially if you are trying to balance the sound as much as possible. Because of the small driver size pianos for instance sound somewhat small and thin. With a good subwoofer you may be able to compensate for this thinness somewhat. Most subwoofers are terrible for reaching up the frequency range though. The Rel Quake is sealed not ported (ported subwoofers are not generally adept at covering their tracks and bring too much attention to their inherent weaknesses I think) and well behaved so you can get away with more than most.So before I am given to ramble too much these are very good small speakers that can be used in fairly critical situations. Not bass meisters, not loudness monsters, nor hype merchants but a very good quite flexible speaker that is well designed small and discreet.Well done Tibo I'm more than impressed!UPDATEI am still liking these speakers a lot. As I said before they are very detailed and an easy listen. They are pretty forthright though so upping the volume too much and they start getting a little shouty. It's nothing to worry about but it's inherent in their ability to throw a lot of detail out. They must be fairly efficient drivers I guess so they err on the more upfront side of replay. They are on the more cold side of things in their delivery too it has to be said. Rather arid really and quite dry. Still for my uses they are absolutely ideal though and I can forgive them this matter of fact presentation. I have them either side of my monitor screen on modified mic stands and attached directly to the optical out on my computer. I feel quite happy listening to them for quite long periods. They actually make you listen in the nearfield at a moderate level as you don't need to have them loud to catch all the little details. Again it's only the lower mid I find missing somewhat. Your ears do adjust in time though and if like me you will do some mixing and maybe some basic video work with them I think you will find them very hard to beat. I have had a brief listen to stuff like the Mackie CR3's. Yes such speakers are lots of fun with lots of bass but I would never mix on them as they are just wrong (I think). These though are incisive and accurate. A bit like a good headphone. Maybe a Sennheiser. Maybe........... So Tibo and all your other manufacturers of sexy hi tech stuff I am doing the reviews and it's time you gave some of that kit to me for FREE! I got your back!
