Greatest value / price
I bought 2 of these without any tryout, only based on Youtube comparisons with a studio headphone (included in the Focusrite studio set).
I am very satisfied with the sound and the stereo imaging of the speakers, actually I love just to hear music on them, not just for studio work.
Many of reviews were about lack of bass, but even for just listening to music (pop, rock, metal, southern rock, modern metal etc, blues, jazz), there is enough bass I can confirm that.
For my taste these speakers are very natural sounding, round and the notes are very understandable. Hearing them from 0.5-1m, the result is perfect.
I have currently no time to make music on them, but I can imagine full mixing and mastering processing on these ones. Of course for super-lows mix I would prefer a good studio headphone, and at the finalisation hearing your music on different speakers and headphones is always a great practice. For D4 version I suggest to add a high freqency booster potmeter.
I recommend these ones, they are loud and great!
After two years: Finally after 2 years I found the highs rolled off too much, it is easy to
make too crisp/harsh mixes on them. I found my mixes became too warm sounding
not enough aggresive on them. With the acoustic space to -4db and cross reference
with a great studio headphone (like ath m40x) the results can be much better. Stereo imaging, amount of bass is ok. For less agressive styles it can be a good monitor.

Solid entry level monitors
These are huge upgrade over any typical PC speakers with 3.5 TRS jack. They do have way too much bass at the "flat" settings but it can be dialed down with the switch in the back (sounding much better at the middle -2db settings). For the price they sound excellent. Sensitivity and resolution being quite good. They do get a bit muddy sounding with more distorted sounds like heavy guitars etc. I use these for video editing and casual music listening and they are more than good enough. They do hum a little bit when in idle.
I would not recommend these for any serious music production you should probably get Yamahas or Neumanns for that.

Brilliant Studio monitors
I have just set up a home recording studio and these monitors pack a punch! They are very bassy, but the ability to change the Db levels really works for the room I have to use and the sound balance is brilliant!
For this price range, I'd say they might be the best ones out there!
