F&D F-3800X

The Chinese company F&D has been producing acoustics and home theaters for more than a quarter of a century. Computer speakers F-3800X have spectacular appearance, advanced functionality and affordable price — about $120.

Compact set

The compact speaker system consists of a subwoofer in an MDF case, a centre channel, 2 front and 2 rear speakers in plastic. In the centre of the body, all cabinets are decorated with a stylish strip that protects the diffuser. There is no provision for mounting the speakers to the wall, and the bundled cables are non-detachable and short (1.5 m), so that the system will have to be placed compactly. The subwoofer is equipped with a multi-coloured LED-backlit speaker, and above it there is a stylish round display framed by numerous control buttons.

Abundance of functions and settings

The F-3800X pleasantly surprised by the presence of Bluetooth v4.0 with a range of up to 15 m, a digital FM tuner with phase-locked loop technology and USB / SD inputs with support for WMA and MP3 formats. All this can be controlled both from the subwoofer and the remote control, as well as adjust the volume of the rear, front satellites and subwoofer separately. With such an abundance of functions, I was surprised by the lack of a headphone output, it would definitely not interfere.

The system plays quite tolerably, as for single-band speakers with a total power of 80 W, and a range of 40 – 20,000 Hz, but still you will like it more because of the abundance of connection options.
