They might be ok..but when investing in home entertainment you should strive for more than ok. You are basically getting what you pay for. For example..i had a hand mixer...durabrand, used it 4 times and the motor quit while trying to make cake frosting. I paid 7 bucks for it. No big thing. My mom has a kitchenaid mixer that she paid quit a bit more for..it has been dropped and submerged in water and still works perfect.
