Slick, modernist design; well-balanced, detailed sound; punchy bass; remote control included; digital connection via USB to computer
Extraordinarily expensive, audio quality isn't as good when you move out of the sweet spot (three feet away from speakers), sound is so detailed it makes MP3s and streaming audio of already iffy quality sound worse
We found a lot to like about the B&W MM-1 multimedia speakers, but their $500 price tag gives us pause.
Stellar audio performance with excellent clarity in mid and high frequencies. Laudable bass response without a subwoofer. Pulls audio from USB port for cleaner signal. Remote can control iTunes on your PC.
Expensive. Remote control is awkward to hold. Cables could be longer.

Audible damping with high volume and analog input, Bottom Line, Pricey though they may be, they look and sound great on your desktop.
At $500, the MM-1 is pricey, but you’re paying for far more than just a well-respected audio brand and pleasing design. These nicely balanced, detailed speakers sound great in the environment for which they were designed—atop a desk next to your lapto...
Abstract: From the Dean of UK high end speaker manufacturers, Bowers & Wilkins (B&W), comes a foray onto the computer desktop. The MM-1 Multimedia Speakers. Typical of the iPod set of B&W speakers, the Zeppelin and the Zeppelin Mini, these mini beauties look stu...
For a company that also sells audiophile grade music online, we were ready to question the Bowers & Wilkins MM-1's limitation to 16-bit resolution digital audio. As it happens, this speaker system makes something of a silk purse out of CD-quality music. I...
