Mackie CR3.5 BT

5 stars to Thomann fast delivery and fast and efficient support service, despite I don't agree with their repair/replacement veredict.

5 stars to Mackie's support service too, which were quite nice and fast to answer me, and suggested a replacement (which Thomann didn't agree with).

3 stars to the spakers:
- 5 stars to all the features they have, including the possibility to play several inputs at the same time and the Bluetooth working perfectly for me. I only miss a better equalizer sepparated for the bass, as the one wheel they provide is not sufficient to me.
- 4 stars to sound quality, I'm not an expert but it's good for me except of being a bit too bassy for my taste.
- 1 star for the subtle famous hissing noise that is still there even if no input is connected. It's clearly noticeable if you listen at the distance of half meter. Also, the hissing and interference noises from my laptop become quite audible from half way volume up, even using a TRS balanced cable and keeping the input device volume at max. These noise issues were not happening with my 25 year old AIWA SC-A77. For this reason Mackie adviced me to replace them by a new unit, which Thomann support service didn't agree, as mentioned before, but they didn't charge any delivery costs to me, which is fair and great.

In any case I use them for listening to classical music while working, and some pc gaming, so I tend to keep the volume low hence I don't hear the interference noise, and I'm getting used to the background subtle hissing that is always there.
