Minimal Desk Speakers: Kanto YU2 Review | On My Desk
Ғылым және технология
I finally bought some new desktop speakers: The Kanto YU2 in walnut. These small powered desk setup speakers could be the best speakers to buy right now. USB plug-and-play, internal DAC, sub out and a really small footprint.
Here’s a quick unboxing, setup, sound test, review and first impressions on the Kanto YU2 desktop speakers. I’ve also added the Kanto S2 stands to improve the overall sound (and appearance).

They match your setup so perfectly and I love how compact and space saving they are.
Your reviews are always a good time and your English is so well spoken at the perfect speed for us non native english speakers to fully understand you so thank you

They're look so cool ! I'll probably buy them this year ! Good size, good sound, good look ! Impressive how good reviews are about these speakers !
Been looking to add the YU2’s to my set-up, thanks for the sound comparison - can clearly hear the difference vs the monitor! They look and sound awesome!

Thank you! I'm really impressed with them too.
“Nice Speakers” Not gonna lie, those speakers look sick in walnut in your setup! Excited to see what monitor you pick up!
Nice job, bought these speakers based n your review. I have the YU4’s but wasn’t sure about the YU2s until your video convinced me they’ll be great!
“Nice speakers” really like the walnut and black especially on the stands, I actually looked at these before on recommendation but definitely think a sub is needed.
I have these same speakers with the Kanto Sub6. It's a great setup and the combo sounds great.
Very cool set up and the speakers may be just what I need for my space, cheers for the insightful video!
"Nice speakers 🎵". Walnut looks elegant comparing to any other color, that wood touch is unique. That's why many tech stores use that style to show their products.
This is awesome I’m upgrading my desk setup so thanks so much! Cheers
Love your whole desk setup! The walnut speakers look great!

Very nice, I recently wanted the same..small, but good quality. I opted for KLH Ames in matt black....and I hooked it up to my old Logitech sub from my previous 5.1...runs the KLH fine.
It still amazes me that you shot all your videos on an iPhone! Your videos looks so good and clean!

They look nice enough but there are some essential (for me) things which you haven't mentioned in your review...do they have to be manually powered-on each time or will they power/sleep according to the status of the Mac ? can the volume be adjusted from the keyboard, or do you have to use the rotary dial on the rear of the YU2 ?
Like the setup mate unique keep up the good content

I am always conflicted between getting speakers and having a monitor built in with them. Less cables much more minimalism for me but yeah sound quality.

NICE SPEAKERS I am looking at speaker/ soundbars and it's a hard choice, I think I was spoilt as i was running a Samsung S61A under the Neo G7 so not sure I'd like speakers behind the screen/ lack of base. Side note if you do want to look at a new monitor, you can't underestimate the difference a curved screen makes on your eye strain and general work health!
""Nice Speakers" Absolutely love the walnut theme in your home office. Do you use the speakers when on a video call, or do you prefer a headset for calls?

I've been thoroughly enjoying your reviews! I have a question... I use Bose Companion 5 currently... small footprint on my desk and a good amount of bass. But, of course, these Bose speakers don't have the best mids. I undertand that these YU2's are small... so the bass wouldn't be that great. Overall, would the YU2's be a better choice for a desktop setup if bass is not a very important factor?
@SpawnPoiint

Yes I’d say so. These definitely lack the bass and you’d need a sub really. But the clarity is great.

Great video and lovely set up! Would you happen to know if connecting these speakers through your monitor would still create an output? I have a similar set up but with my Xbox hooked up so looking to get audio for the Xbox on these too

If your monitor has an 3.5mm audio out then yes, these have an AUX in.
Amazing video, do they go into idle /sleep mode after a while? I had to return 2 Logitech speakers because of this feature, it would make me miss alot of discord notifications

Were there also other speakers you were considering, like the audioengine A2+ wireless? And why did you opt for this one, other than the walnut finish (which looks stunning btw)? I'm asking because these are not available where I'm from
@SpawnPoiint
3 жыл бұрын
It was close between the two. The A2+ apparently have more bass so don’t need a sub. From what I’ve seen there’s not much in it.
