There are two main gripes about these speakers -1. Random beeping and interferences - every few minutes while playing music, one of the speakers (randomly) will beep. Sometimes, you can hear some serious interferences. I have wi-fi and 5.8GHZ phones at home. Not sure if they are the culprit. But come on, everyone has these nowadays. I even went through the hassle to get an exchange from the manufacturer, but the new ones beeps just as often.2. As many reviewers point out, the remote is poorly designed and thought out. You cannot turn on the speakers with the remote. I mean, how stupid is that?I wish I had waited on buying these. Maybe I will sell them on Craigslist and recoop some money.
