About this item

  • Powerful Bookshelf Speakers Pair: Immerse yourself in music with our 3010i bookshelf speakers. The cabinet is 25% bigger than our previous models for larger scale sound and deeper bass. A 0.9" decoupled high frequency driver with wide surround creates a wide even dispersion of stereo image.
  • Low Profile Terminals: Each bookshelf speaker has recessed cut-outs to reduce cabinet noise and low profile binding posts with sockets deep enough for 0.16" banana plugs, so you can shelf mount or stand mount these speakers near a rear wall.
  • P2P Bracing: With internal bracing placed with computer aid, the structural integrity of the bookshelf speakers' enclosures is greatly improved. This helps keep the enclosure extra quiet, enhancing the focus of the stereo image and giving the soundstage more accuracy.
  • Passive Speakers Specifications: Enclosure Type: 2-way Reflex, Bass Driver: 4", Tweeter: 0.9", Frequency Response: (+3 dB, -6 dB) 65 Hz – 30 kHz, Average Impedance: 6 Ohms, Minimum Impedance: 4 Ohms, Sensitivity: (2.83 V@1 m) 86dB, Power Input: 50-125W, Cross-over Frequency: 2.6kHz
  • What’s Included: 2 x 3010i Bookshelf Speakers (W5.9 x H10 x D9.9 inch, Weight: 9 lbs), 2 x Foam Bungs, 2 x Speaker Grilles, 1 x User Manual, 1 x Pair Handling Gloves, 8 x Rubber Speaker Grips.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really Good Desktop Speakers
Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2023
Color: Carbon BlackVerified Purchase
I never had any experience with Q Accoustics other than the reviews online and all of the reviewers were fairly impressed with their 3000i series of speakers. I went with the smaller3010i just due to desk space and price. I had a DAC for my headphone but not really for the speakers. I went with the Schiit Audio Rekkr. Wow. I was really impressed at the sound of not only the tiny amp, but the speakers as well! I guess my system isn’t up to high dollar audiophile systems, but I really can’t say it was lacking in any way. I did however noticed that there wasn’t enough headroom with the Rekkr since I had the volume knob nearly at full. I bought a second one to use them both as mono amps and that REALLY made the difference. Perhaps the only thing I can say is that the music isn’t really separated like some bigger and better amps, but everything sounds very natural. Vocals and instruments included. I am VERY pleased with my setup for now and I can’t imagine spending the extra money to upgrade it

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent set of speakers
Reviewed in Germany on June 7, 2021
Color: Graphite GrayVerified Purchase
I use these speakers in the bedroom, hooked up to a Dynavox ET-100 power amplifier with Topping E30 DAC acting as a preamp and a RPI4 as a source. Not really sure if this is an optimal chain for 3010i since they are not the easiest to drive (86db, 6Ohm) but this is what I have at the moment.

My first impression compared to a set of active Dali I had previously was that the QAs are somewhat lacking the highs - the mids and lows seemed overwhelming and somewhat muffled when I first turned the on. I decided to wait until I get used to them and after a couple of weeks my impressions improved significantly. The fear that highs are insufficient, proved to be ungrounded, they're just not bright. I tested the foam bungs in the rear port to decrease the lows, but after a while decided against this set up: the sound is fuller without obstructing the bass (even when positioned close to the wall). I also found that QAs produce quite a decent sound stage - nothing I can complain of here.

All in all, the Q Acoustics 3010i are an excellent set of speakers for the money. Compact, look nice (esp. the graphite version), with a 'full-bodied' sound and decent sound stage.

Update: moved to another flat where the speakers are quite close to the wall. Used to like the sound, but still thought it was a bit muffled. And then tried the foam bungs again - WOW! These speakers are nothing short of amazing - clear and crisp without being to harsch, the bass well defined and punchy. Real fun, worth every penny.
