What Users Say
Everyday users appreciate the speakers for their portability, decent loudness without distortion, and clean design, finding them suitable for basic desk or travel audio needs. However, they consistently note the tinny, echoey sound and weak bass as major drawbacks, indicating the product is best for casual listening rather than high‑fidelity audio.
Common Complaints
Users frequently report tinny and echoey audio quality, limited bass response, and an overall thin sound profile compared to larger speaker systems.
What People Are Saying
“Provides acceptable sound for tiny speakers; gets loud without distorting; practical for basic audio needs like desk use or monitor ports; pleased overall for inexpensive option.”
How It Compares
Compared to typical budget USB stereo speakers, the Manhattan 161435 matches on power output and driver size but offers a slightly wider frequency range (90 Hz‑20 kHz) and a longer 3‑year warranty. Its dual‑speaker configuration provides modest stereo separation, yet the audio quality remains entry‑level and shares the common tinny characteristic of budget models. The inclusion of an in‑line volume control and headphone jack adds convenience, while the lack of Bluetooth or battery limits flexibility.
