I'm not going to say the $499.95 MM-1s from Bowers & Wilkins are cheap as far as computer speakers go, because they're not. However, in comparison to other computer speakers out there, they are far more musical and sound more like traditional monitor l...
Excellent volume and clarity. Compact size. No need for a subwoofer. Beautifully designed.
Nonstandard interconnect between speakers. Expensive.
Bowers & Wilkins’ MM-1 are solidly built and sound spectacular. They’re intended for the desktop, but they’re powerful enough to pump music to a decent-sized room as well.MM-1...
Awesome sound quality, Very attractive design, Easy to set up
Expensive, Needs longer USB cable

Slick, modernist design; well-balanced, detailed sound; punchy bass; remote control included; digital connection via USB to computer
Extraordinarily expensive, audio quality isn't as good when you move out of the sweet spot (three feet away from speakers), sound is so detailed it makes MP3s and streaming audio of already iffy quality sound worse
We found a lot to like about the B&W MM-1 multimedia speakers, but their $500 price tag gives us pause.
Stellar audio performance with excellent clarity in mid and high frequencies. Laudable bass response without a subwoofer. Pulls audio from USB port for cleaner signal. Remote can control iTunes on your PC.
Expensive. Remote control is awkward to hold. Cables could be longer.
Hardly an overpriced design piece, the Bowers & Wilkins MM-1 is a fantastic pair of high-end PC speakers worth saving up for....
Terrific sound across the entire spectrum. Included remote lets you control volume and jump between tracks (iTunes and Windows Media Player only). Inputs concealed beneath speakers (peekaboo!). Coffeemugsized footprint.
Sound isn't quite as bold as MAudio's AV 40s' — a bit muffled at higher volumes. Not cheap.
Audible damping with high volume and analog input, Bottom Line, Pricey though they may be, they look and sound great on your desktop.
At $500, the MM-1 is pricey, but you’re paying for far more than just a well-respected audio brand and pleasing design. These nicely balanced, detailed speakers sound great in the environment for which they were designed—atop a desk next to your lapto...
