Roxel Onyx Active Bookshelf Speakers, 100 Watt RMS Power, Full Range 5.25" Bass Driver, Wireless BT Streaming, HDMI ARC, 3-Metre Speaker Cable, Perfect for Movies, Music, Office, Home Theatre (Black)

These speakers are exactly what I hoped they would be. I bought them to replace Logitech speakers on my various computers I've had for the past 23 years. Those had a subwoofer and it's only getting these speakers that I realised I have become accustomed to heavy bass. As nice as that is to have, it does mean you lose out on the full range of music. Vocals are crisp and it handles the highs, mids and lows extremely well. My house has a walk through dining room where my desk is and I am extreemly pleased that the remote control works in the front room even though the speakers are facing the other way. Setting this up was easy. The bluetooth when not connected will just sit waiting for a new connection and is very quick to connect. I have a CD player from the 90s with a bluetooth transmitter connected to the optical out and the speakers connected in no time at all. I'm a big fan of physical media so to start using the CD player regularly again is fantastic. I have a walnut desk so to have matching speakers finishes off the asthetic I've wanted for a couple of years now. They look superb and for the price are amazing. If I was to criticise, it would be to say there is a small hiss in the background. It's not noticable when listening to music or voices but when it goes quiet you can here it. Also when there is silence for around 2 seconds the hiss stops with a tiny click in the sound. I've never known speakers do this before but it's nothing to complain about. I know it's the speakers because it happens on bluetooth and RCA where I have them wired into my computer. It's no big deal and I know I'm going to get a lot of enjoyment out of them for years to come. I highly recommend these speakers.

Really pleased with the product, it's good to bye British, really good sound, would recommend them 👌

I Love these speakers. I'm using them as wall speakers mounted on brackets. I'm not sure they're as good as the four Wharfedale's I had connected to my separates but having limited space and not wanting a load of wires everywhere I went for these and they sound great. Bluetooth is flawless with no lag and connection to my phone or bluetooth turntable is almost instant. Just make sure that you turn off your phone bluetooth when connecting to a deck as the speakers can't be connected to two things at the same time. Build quality is lovely and they have a good weight to them. The only negative in my view is having to connect the main speaker to the slave speaker via a din cable, but I guess you can't have everything. Highly recommended 👍

The Roxel Onyx Active bookshelf speakers are a delightful surprise for the budget-conscious audiophile. I approached these speakers with a healthy dose of scepticism, given their price point. However, I was pleasantly taken aback by the rich, detailed sound they produced. While they may not compete with high-end audiophile setups, they certainly punch above their weight. The midrange is where these speakers shine. Vocals are clear and intimate, allowing you to connect with the artist on a deeper level. Guitars, pianos, and other instruments have a natural warmth that is often missing in speakers at this price. The bass response, while not earth-shattering, is surprisingly deep and controlled. It provides a solid foundation for music and doesn't overpower the other frequencies. The highs are crisp and clear, without being harsh or fatiguing. One of the standout features is the versatility. The ability to connect via Bluetooth, RCA, or 3.5mm allows for seamless integration into any setup. Whether you're streaming from your phone, connecting a turntable, or using them with a TV, the Onyx delivers. While they might not create the most expansive soundstage, they still manage to immerse you in the music. For their size, they offer a surprisingly decent sense of space and depth. In conclusion, the Roxel Onyx Active bookshelf speakers are a fantastic option for music lovers on a budget. They offer a surprisingly mature sound with a good balance of frequencies. If you're looking for a pair of speakers to enjoy your favourite tunes without breaking the bank, these are definitely worth considering.

I've been listening and buying hifi for about 36 years now. Always amplifiers or av receivers with different speaker combinations including 5.1 I decided to sell all my equipment and get two pairs of Roxel onyx, one in black and one in oak. The oak is a lovely finish by the way. I'll get the minus points out the way first. Both speakers have hiss on all the inputs, so if you listen to quiet music, you might hear it. The input light can be annoying and it can't be dimmed. I put a piece of black rubber over mine sometimes. The grilles are really stiff and would be better on magnets. Now the positives, Roxel have included all the inputs you could possibly need , RCA for analogue, optical/coaxial better if you've got it and hdmi arc( set your TV to pcm, if you get no sound. Sound, wow I don't miss my seperates anymore. They sound so detailed, I'm hearing sounds I've never heard before. This is accompanied by a smooth sound with the right amount of bass for me personally. Bluetooth is very good, close to CD and I've not had any breakups in my 10 feet range. In fact as soon as I turn on the speakers, my phone starts playing. CDs via analogue RCA or optical/coaxial are just glorious. In fact I tried some Q Acoustics 2020 speakers with a Marantz mcr603 and the Roxel sound better. So they probably sound better than the Q Acoustics active speakers which are three times more. Hdmi arc movies are great, very good clarity clear dialogue and deep bass. I watched FLIGHT with Denzal Washington and the aircraft sounded amazing with deep bass. The Crow was really enjoyable, loud and clear. Spotify via hdmi is a delight, Suzanne Vega headshots and Roxy Music Same old scene sounded like reference recordings. If you've got the space, these speakers not only destroy soundbars but beat most budget speakers and amps. Make sure you space them out for the best sound. INCREDIBLE VALUE £100-£110, thanks Roxel.

Pleasantly surprised! My TV has come alive! Can watch programs without subtitles and clearly hear and understand the dialogue. Love the movie, music and dialogue buttons on remote to quickly change the sound, based on what your watching/listening. Primarily bought for Spotify. I hate speakers where everything just sounds mushed together, not with these pair though...so far, very impressed and they look amazing! Great value for £99. Early days as only had them one day so will review again in a few weeks. Fyi, I'm not an audiophile.

Right so let’s get to the measurements, these speakers are rather big, 11 inches high -10 inches deep - 6.5 inches wide which makes them difficult, if not impossible, to place under, behind or in front of a television screen, well definitely mine. So what are they for? Well as a pair of ‘stand alone speakers’ they aren’t bad, as ‘book shelf speakers’ you’d need some big and sturdy bespoke bookshelves’ because at ten inches deep they certainly don’t fit a standard shelf. The light Oak cases are quite pleasant and fit in well with my oak units. Now onto the sound and features. Pros-Reasonable cost, not an unpleasant sound, in fact for most music types they work well enough but don’t expect crystal highs or lows at this price point. The optical connection works well enough, I’m running a Classic IPod through a Pure base unit with the supplied optical cable and the sound is more than acceptable. The USB Port does, again, work well enough, Bluetooth is proving to be an issue with a new MP3 player which knows the speakers are there but just won’t connect, probably a fault with the MP3 unit rather than the speakers as everything else connected instantly. The bass and treble are pretty basic and I’m being kind with that remark. EQ is only really relevant for use when connected to a TV. The remote works well and is a TV sized one so well done the manufacturer. HDMI Arc ! Well there is a port but no cable is supplied though loads of others I probably will never use are. Nice build quality. Fairly easy to use. Cons-Size of the speakers when trying to add onto a TV as an alternative to a sound bar or sound box, they are just too damn big to fit most tv stands which means buying a set of stands to put them on and the added cost would be a deal breaker for me. The speakers do lack depth and the treble is limited, as for the ‘virtual bass’ well least said soonest mended. Keep any USB down to a maximum of 32GB because once you get to the recommended maximum of 64GB everything comes to a juddering halt and remember that the remote won’t move tracks on or back for either a USB or like mine an IPod. I find the selection of lights informing me of what I’m trying to connect to confusing and after a very short period damned annoying ! A white that isn’t truly white for optical, blue for ARC that is very close in colour to Bluetooth and USB red that looks very very similar to the red off light. Oh and finally, if you’re looking to buy, pay for a full length speaker cable because the supplied one is a little too short for normal use. If I’m honest there is nothing that screams brilliant at me when turning these speakers on. They do a reasonable job for not a massive amount of money and a guest who popped in and has no interest in either music or tech did remark that they sounded okay at the end of an evening where he had to put up with loads of different music being played whilst I tested them, so maybe he’s the exact market for these sorts of speakers !

Really really pleased with these ..

Buone casse, le uso per suonare la chitarra con gli effetti della scheda audio

Das sind bis jetzt meine besten Aktivboxen. Der Sound ist klar und kraftvoll. Auch die Sprache kommt deutlich rüber. Die mögliche Lautstärke für die kleinen Boxen ist sehr hoch und das ohne qualitative Mängel in der Übertragung. Die individuelle Reglung von Höhen und Bass ist sehr gut. Was man sich noch wünschen könnte, ist eine Balancereglung, damit die Lautstärke auch bei nicht optimaler Aufstellung richtig ist. Mit der FB können einige wenige Parameter verändert werden. Auch eine direkte Wiedergabe von Musikdateien vom USB Stick und eine Bluetoothverbindung sind möglich. Klar, das Netzteil hat einen Stecker der nicht in unser deutsches Netz passt. So muß man einen Adapter zusätzlich kaufen, das sollte noch verbessert werden, aber dafür ziehe ich keinen Stern von den sonst sehr guten Boxen ab.

Je confirme elles sont impressionnantes, pour le prix c'est magnifique. Utilisation pour écoute de musique en BT. J'ai une paire d'enceintes Advance Zeneo, elles sont meilleures bien sûr, plus puissantes et complétement sans fil, mais presque 10 fois plus chères ! Dommage qu'il faille encore un câble entre les deux enceintes. Je confirme qu'il faut bien un adaptateur pour utilisation en France (c'est dingue cette histoire, depuis le temps que ça a été signalé dans les commentaires...)

Buen precio

Guter Sound für wenig Geld!
