The editors liked

  • Elegant design
  • Perfectly balanced sound for near-field listening
  • Understated good looks - especially when matched with MacBook or iMac
  • Impeccable build quality.

  • Well-balanced near-field sound
  • DAC provides superior headphone sound
  • Flexible remote

  • Slick
  • Modernist design
  • Well-balanced
  • Detailed sound
  • Punchy bass
  • Remote control included
  • Digital connection via USB to computer
  • Terrific sound across the entire spectrum. Included remote lets you control volume and jump between tracks (iTunes and Windows Media Player only). Inputs concealed beneath speakers (peekaboo!). Coffeemugsized footprint.
  • Awesome sound quality
  • Very attractive design
  • Easy to set up
  • Exquisite audio reproduction
  • Elegant design.

The editors didn't like

  • Expensive
  • Optimized for closerange listening
  • If you want volume for volume's sake
  • Look elsewhere
  • Expensive.
  • Expensive. Remote control is awkward to hold. Cables could be longer.
  • Audible damping with high volume and analog input
  • Bottom Line
  • Pricey though they may be
  • They look and sound great on your desktop.
  • Nonstandard interconnect between speakers. Expensive.
  • Narrow soundstage
  • Lackluster power supply
  • Potential for midbass bloat
  • Extraordinarily expensive
  • Audio quality isn't as good when you move out of the sweet spot (three feet away from speakers)
  • Sound is so detailed it makes MP3s and streaming audio of already iffy quality sound worse
  • Sound isn't quite as bold as MAudio's AV 40s' — a bit muffled at higher volumes. Not cheap.
  • Needs longer USB cable
  • Very expensive
  • Shortish
  • Hardwired cable on right speaker cabinet.

  • Abstract:  Dans le domaine du son sur PC, il existe plusieurs solutions. On peut se tourner directement vers les ensembles les plus ambitieux - les gros kits 5.1 destinés au home cinema - ou se tourner vers des produits certes plus modestes, mais souvent bien suf...

  • Design elegantissimo, Costruzione eccellente, Ottima distribuzione di tasti e connessioni, DAC integrato, Telecomando in dotazione, Buona resa con volumi contenuti e brani in streaming
  • Il suono è inscatolato, con bassi deludenti e medi sotto tono, Manca di dinamicità Sfruttando il DAC il top in metallo raggiunge subito i 42°
  • Dopo averli desiderati per così tanto tempo, mi aspettavo qualcosa in più dai diffusori Bower & Wilkins MM-1 . La prima mezz'ora in loro compagnia è stata una gioia, perché ho potuto apprezzarne la costruzione ed il bellissimo design, che dal vivo sono...

  • Die MM-1 verhalten sich wie viele andere Premium-Produkte: Es gibt, abgesehen von einigen wenigen Schwächen, wenig Raum für Kritik. Bei den MM-1 wären das zum Beispiel die knapp bemessene Kabellänge sowie die fehlende Anschlussoption per Cinch, sodas...

  • Abstract:  Die standfesten Aktiv-Boxen (17x10x10 cm; 0,85 kg) liefern einen, an den Nahbereich angepassten, sehr guten Klang. Bei den Bassfrequenzen wird ein Subwoofer nicht vermisst. Hinzu kommt eine feine Hochtonauflösung, auch bei leisen Passagen.Die Boxen wer...

  • Natürlich ist der Computerlautsprecher von Bowers & Wilkins nichts für den schmalen Geldbeutel, absolut nicht! Vielmehr ist es für Leute gedacht, die bei der Arbeit und in der Freizeit den besten Sound an ihrem Computer haben wollen, den man vielleicht au...

  • Klinkt zeer goed, Open geluidsbeeld, Natuurlijke stemmen/instrument weergave, Diep laag met veel definitie, Mooi afgewerkt, Compact formaat
  • Kan maximaal 48kHz/16 bit aan
  • Nog steeds verreweg de meest muziekaal klinkende kleine desktop speakers die ik gehoord heb. Geen andere luidspreker zet zo'n natuurlijk geluidsbeeld neer en heeft zoveel definitie in het laag in deze formaat/prijs klasse...

  • Prachtig stereobeeld, Groot frequentiebereik, Biamping, Veelzijdig
  • Sweetspot is kritisch en wat klein
  • De B&W MM1 is met recht een high-end desktop luidsprekersysteem te noemen. De klankkleur is vrij neutraal en vooral erg prettig mild en compleet. De beeldvorming is goed, maar de sweetspot is wat klein. ...

  • Abstract:  Bij alpha-audio kennen we Bowers & Wilkins vooral van de ‘gewone’ luidsprekers als de 700- en 800-serie. En natuurlijk van de bijzonder vormgegeven Zeppelin waarin een iPod past. Nu komen de Britten met een high-end luidsprekerset voor de desktopcomput...

  • Abstract:  Tweet 0 Geen volwaardige multimedia-ervaring zonder goede luidsprekers, zoveel is zeker. Maar welke moet je hebben? Een bescheiden koppeltje, of een surroundset met alles erop en eraan?Als je luidsprekers gaat kopen moet je rekening houden met een ...
