It's a TV, but not in my room
I use this as my secondary display to my Surface Pro 3. Using a Mini-DisplayPort to HDMI connector, it makes all my DAW work big and bright, leaving no control hidden in the pixels.

Performance and organization
If you end up with more than one controller sitting at your desk or on your setup, you'll want these. Low latency, durable build, and they'll save you priceless time searching for which USB cable is going where. The colors take the guesswork out with just a glance, no more labeling your cables and following them through a web of tangled cords to find the end.

Fun & Functional
There's not a whole lot to say about these, they look great and they work. Period. I think they have a little better feel to them than the original caps, but they are slightly larger.

Little size, big sound
As nearfield home studio monitors, these are nothing short of awesome. They're relatively flat across the freq response curve, which is great for hearing all the subtleties in your melodies that might otherwise be drowned out by boomier freqs. But down discount the bass in these either, they slam like the big boys and really let you hear the dirty lows you're kicking out. Built-in isolation pads are another big +, no need to worry about your speaker bouncing across your desk and muddling up everything. If you're considering them, BUY THEM.

You'd be surprised
I run Everything on my Surface Pro 3. Core i7 4650, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSHDD. With a USB 3.0 hub, I hook my Maschine MKII, M-Audio Oxygen 25, NI Komplete 6 USB Audio interface, 2X dual bay SATA/SSD docks, 1 Seagate 1TB USB SSHDD, & a wireless mouse and keyboard. I run Maschine 2.2, Reaper, Ableton Live 9, and occasionally Audacity. It gets a little warm, but an 8-core Haswell in this frame is expected to do so.

Seemingly endless potential
I've owned the MK2 for about a month now, and every time I think I'm starting to get the hang of it all I find new functions and features that make it seem like a brand new toy again. There's a preset for just about anything you could ever want, or you can get lost shaping sounds in Massive & Prism. I use mine with an M-Audio Oxygen 25 midi keyboard, which gives me all the pads and keys, tempos and pitches , all together & built from a single sound. I love it!
