TechRadar Verdict
The Kanto Ora aren’t just desktop speakers.
They just about do all that you need for just about any medium in a package thats surprisingly small.
And, the price is a bit high.
Still, these are fantastic computer speakers.
Maybe slightly higher-than-average prices, too.
Really, this speaker system has the makings of one of thebest computer speakersavailable right now.
Its immersive, and, when paired with a subwoofer, ground-shaking as well.
For those, you’re free to use one of thebest gaming headsetsinstead.
When it comes to straightforward design and fantastic performance, the Kanto Ora is more than enough.
Thats a shocking thing to think about when first holding one of the speaker cabinets in hand.
And, as well hear, these scream.
At least, the subwoofer came with one.
Plus, they bring the speakers a little closer to ear-level.
Yet, the audio quality is clear as day.
Theres no distortion or clipping.
The only real issue is that it feels like a frequency is missing from the mid-range.
Reference is in the name, after all.
Though, again, you oughta respect the subwoofer.
These are straightforward in their design and execution.
Those in Australia and the US, however, are able to purchase it.
However, their pleasant sound is held back by some design issues.
But, if youre on a budget, theres plenty of alternatives.

Should you buy the Kanto Ora?
You want big lowsWhile the massive low-end is thanks to the subwoofer, it is tremendous.
Plus, most desktop speakers dont have a sub out.
After all, theyre each only four inches wide.
it’s possible for you to get good quality sound without paying nearly as much.
They sound much better than their price tag.
And, it has a very attractive price tag.
I also used it to listen to quite a bit of music.
I played around with the parameters on the subwoofer as well as used its Bluetooth connectivity.
And, I messed around with the stands and speaker placement.
