Pros:

Excellent sound quality for the price, extremely sturdy, looks and feels like an actual stage monitor and able to connect it to multiple monitors and various audio sources (including MP3 players).
Easy setup, Sounds better than expected, Enhances gameplay, The fun factor is undeniable, Daisychainable for multi monitor mayhem

Cons:

Does not include a male-to-male cable and no bass or treble adjustments.Overall: Certainly adds to the faux stage experience and can be used for much more than just gaming. Playing a music video game does not make you a musician but dammit if you sure don
The power cable is kind of short, A threeband EQ (or even bass and treble adjustments) would have been nice
