Fenda - F&D F6000U 5.1 Speakers Review. Some part of it may be applicable to other models too

Hi,

Here is a small review based on my experience with Fenda F&D 6000U 5.1 speakers. Some of these might be applicable to other models too.


Pros

Good low frequency Response
Good mid frequency Response
Pro mode
Front rear volume control

Easy controls.


Cons

Poor high frequency response as it lacks tweeters in front and rear channels
No equalizer 

Bass boost capacity is low
Huge 
Remote sensitivity is low
No NTFS support for USB/SD Card

Poor customer service


Tweaks

Add tweeter (Limit the volume then, otherwise it may burn the amp)
Equalize MP3s before copying to SD/USB



NB: It gave me my third bad experience from flipkart.com and I returned the product



A Little More


I ordered this item from flipkart.com and it came in two days.
I set up the things at home. Checked different modes.

General
It can give deep and powerful bass but it does not have capability to boost bass. 
High frequency response is low as it doesn't have tweeters in front speakers and rear speakers(What look like tweeters are only dummies)
It has no eqalizer support so you need to equalize at the source, which would not be possible in case of SD/USB input, FM and connection from normal Dolby decoder

Auxilary input mode:
Checked with different test mp3 files I had.
Low frequency response was impressive. It gives deep bass from 20 Hz itself.
If keeping in the promode(virtual surround from stereo input)
the mids are also powerful as it has two speakers in the middle and a tweeter( I assume).


FM
Working well if you keep the antenna high.


SD/USB
It plays the songs well and it has memory to play the songs from last position.
Shuffle option is not available.
Sounds nice in Pro-mode (virtual surround)
Music plays well in mids, but lack of bass boosting capability and poor performance of high frequency will be a problem in this mode


5.1 Surround mode

The voice channel were clear and front and rear speakers were working well. Since there is separate volume control you can increase the sound in rear or center as you like.
But I faced an unfortunate issue here. The woofer output was too low! Like whispering... in this mode.

I mailed to Fenda customer care. I got a call from service centre in Bangalore. They asked me if I can bring it to service centre. I told it is so heavy and it is manufacturing defect, so please sent a service person to my home. They told they will send in two days. I waited for one week, nobody appeared!. 
Then I called Flipkart.com and requested for replacement.
After two days they replied that it is not possible to replace as it is out of stock now.
It was so disappointing... 


Then the option left was return the product and get the money back.
I have returned the product today and waiting for my money back......
