QR code but no url for warranty registration but it’s also on the support page
Instructions:
Quick User Guide is two pages of easy to understand English and translations in German, French, Italian, and Spanish
I did not find a user guide on-line but there is a thorough and complete user video on YouTube (url listed on the back of the printed Quick User Guide). It even shows the unboxing process.
I had no trouble pairing the speakers to my PC through the Avantree Oasis
Intuitive functions:
Yes, after reading the two page manual, though I haven’t found a balance control yet. I guess that would depend on the computer’s balance settings.
Sound Quality:
Volume and quality was greater than expected for computer speakers
Classical piano music, orchestral music, and vocal music all were acceptable with some distortion at high volume levels. Not audiophile quality but very good for computer speakers.
Frequency response is a bit narrow but fairly smooth. Bass response is adequate with the passive bass radiators. If you’re looking to fill a room with thumping bass, these are not the speakers for you.
These speakers are not setup for bluetooth APTX but rather default to SBC mode. Therefore the bluetooth sound quality is not hi fidelity but then neither are most computer speakers. I tried plugging into an audio port directly and switching off the bluetooth connection. I found the sound quality to be about the same.
Bluetooth range:
As expected with my phone (Samsung Galaxy S6).
Truly excellent with the Avantree Oasis, through several walls and doors.
Physical:
Fairly solid without being overly heavy. It seems able to withstand some knocking over and dropping (untested).
Conclusion:
This is an unexpectedly good product. It is well sized, portable, solid, easy to set up, with good sound, and sufficient volume. Everything works as it should.

Affordable Set; Don't Expect Great Sound
I originally bought these for my work desk mainly because they're cheap. I don't regret buying them because they've become my home gym speakers now, but they're far from the sound quality I was hoping for when I picked them.With a $60 price point, you won't get rich bass, but will get a little distorted sound if you play music at the highest volume. These speakers are fine for playing podcasts or music that doesn't have need bass. Connection to the speakers is easy. You just press and hold the bluetooth button on the front of the speakers and then find it in your device's bluetooth settings. After that the speakers connect pretty quickly each time you turn them on. You can have only one device connected to the speakers at a time. There's also a 3.5mm jack to plug in non-Bluetooth devices.One annoyance is that there's a strange beep that sounds when I use my phone while connected to the speakers. Something as simple as closing and opening an app creates a beep sound with each swipe. I don't really recommend these speakers unless you are far from being an audiophile and only need something simple to increase your device's volume.
