Yes audio reviews are biased and when not biased, just inaccurate because the reviewer can't know if it will perform the same way in your system.
That said, when you get consistent "it was good" reviews or everyone says "great value" then you are more likely to discover you like it.
For example... in the before times, I read many reviews of home theater speakers... at the time, a new upstart called Definitive Technologies was making powered towers that every single reviewer just loved. I found out, after being able to audition them in my house, that they were indeed what I wanted.
However, in a more recent experience, Andrew Jones designed some cheap speakers for Pioneer that were universally lauded as the best things since sliced bread and then some. In my system, they were disappointing and really didn't live up to the hype.
SO... if all you're risking is 5% of the price, my advice is go for it. Schitt products have gotten a lot of great reviews from almost everyone that uses them. You have a 50/50 shot that you will like it.
