How we scored them

The Office Score weighs performance (digital audio quality and drivers), build, value, safety and warranty. For speakers, safety means stated hearing protection: none of the five states any, so all scored zero there. Four state warranty terms: lifetime for the Bluedee and 2 years for both Kantos and the Edifier. How we pick explains the weights.
