Majority D70X Active Wireless Speaker - White

So close to Perfection!!

My first impression of these majority d70x speakers was very positive. They came beautifully packaged with each speaker in its own fabric bag which for the price tag all felt quite high end. Upon unpacking everything the build quality and aesthetics are incredibly impressive and as someone who has previously purchased and owned a lot of home audio equipment over the years they look and feel like much more expensive speakers and in my opinion are comparable to pioneer in design and build. When setting them up i was pleased to see that the cables supplied for both power and speaker linking are Quite generous, I have mine set up either side of a 48 inch tv and there is at least a few more feet of slack should you need it, I was also impressed by the sheer number of different connection options including optical and hdmi. Once I was all plugged in a ready to go i switched them on via the remote (which to note is a nice quality metal offering as opposed to the generic cheap plastic type I’ve seen with more expensive hi fi equipment in the past) and selected the Bluetooth option upon which I was met with a rather loud and annoying voice confirming that I had indeed managed to select Bluetooth mode (I’m maybe being picky here but I personally am not a fan of that feature, especially as it comes out at the same volume as the music you are playing does which can be a touch abrasive on the ears at high volumes) However with that being said the connection is as fast and smooth as it could be so no complaints there. I can only speak on the Bluetooth connection as of writing this as I’ve only had them set up a few days and that’s all I’ve used. Now if you’ve stuck with me till now we are at the part we all bothered looking at reviews for anyway…. How do they sound???? Again I’ve only had them a few days and haven’t put them through their paces but my initial impression is positive, they are clear and crisp with a nice punchy bass and I can tell that they pump out a sound much fuller and louder than you may expect in such a small package, I will however say that in my opinion they are going to struggle with rolling bass tones but that is to be expected with such small drivers and again I know that because I’m using the Bluetooth mode I will not be getting the absolute best from them. Overall sound quality is amazing and they could hang with many other quality branded bookshelf speakers with ease. Now onto the reason I only gave 4 stars… The volume control!!! As opposed to a smooth increase/decrease type volume control these have been fitted with a 1-10 type control that cannot be fine tuned between levels…. “AH HA” I hear you say “I’ll just fine tune it from my phones volume” NOPE!! The same thing carries over to the phone too so you are unfortunately stuck with the volume level sources that majority chose for you. This may not be an issue for some but for anyone wanting to listen to music at a very low level such and myself (insomia-3 am music sessions) it’s quite a large downside especially as the very lowest number 1 level is in my opinion way too loud for discreet listening. So in summary these are a fantastic little set of active speakers that look and sound way more expensive than they are and aside the one volume control peeve are as close to perfect as they could be. If you are on the fence like I was mostly because I wasn’t familiar with the majority brand then I’d say go for it as you won’t be disappointed I’m certain.
