Simple Audio Listen Speakers for only $150.  This is an incredibly low price for speakers that have an MSRP of $500.

 

If you live in Canada, NCIX has them for $150 with free shipping!

 

Linus' Review:

 

I'm thinking of buying this myself.  I just love the aesthetic of it.  The touch screen and functionality of it is also very appealing.  Don't forget that low-low price of $150.

 

EDIT*  I did just buy a pair.  Really excited for these to arrive!

Still costs $150, I don't have right now. :P

 

Plus I'm more than happy with my Logitech Z623's, the 2.1 speaker system I feel everyone on a budget should own.

Well if Linus endorses them at this low price, now I have to buy them.  Too bad Massdrop doesn't have an affiliate code for you.

@LinusTech, share this on Twitter. Great deal. Shame I don't have money, being a teen. My Altec 2.1 speakers from 1999 still sound great though.

If I didn't have so much love for 5.1 on my desktop I'd order them right away but I'm still considering it as I won't have to pay import tax.

The power of social media.

 

I'm more interested in the number of sales that this drop is about to garner.  When I first posted this, there were 20 people committed to the drop, now its up to 24 in a matter of minutes.  Admittedly, one of those is myself, but still.  Lets see how high it will climb in a short amount of time.

Now 782. Social media is super powerful.

You could actually find them for 300$ now and then, but for 150$ is a very good option.

Would I be happy with these if I was planning on getting the A5+. I wouldn't mind saving a few coins.
