I couldn't agree more. After you make the slight adjustment, they work great. Not only are they a good low cost alternative, they sound good. You can also use them with batteries, something which could prove helpful. I had one running constantly for about a year and didn't have a bit of trouble with it, accept when the power dropped, they shut off and have to be re-started manually. You can't go wrong with one and my 2 year old grand son could probably hook it up.
