4.0 out of 5 stars Creative Labs Vivid 60 Portable Speakers, December 30, 2005

First and foremost, I'm deducting a star because the product description is misleading. The Zen (mp3 player) is not included, which does not make this a 90% savings. The speakers can be found anywhere for about $25. It was obvious to me that the Zen was not included for $25, or I would have ordered all of them! But the description is blatantly misleading.

As to the speakers, they give a good bang for the buck! For $25, I did not expect much. Upon plugging them into my Zen, and turning the speaker volume to maximum, I was not thrilled. But then I adjusted the Zen to full volume, and wow, that's quite a sound for a mere $25! And I like the volume control on the speaker. Certainly much easier than going for the Zen's touch pad! Perfect for my headboard, these little speakers fill the room with just enough sound.

I am thrilled to have an actual Creative accessory for my Zen, seems the I-pod has all of the goodies. They match the Zen nicely, even the blue backlight on the volume control. I got a set in white to match my Zen, and I got my brother a pair in black for Christmas. He was also very happy with the sound. He'll be taking them when he travels. I'm now curious how the $40 something Vivid speakers sound!

For $25 you won't be dissappointed....as long as you don't expect the "Everything is Zen with this spectacular Micro MP3 player and speaker set."

For the price it is a pretty good product. The speakers got loud enough to hear the music from anywhere in my place and the sound quality was good enough that I didn't hear any static.

These speakers are much smaller in size than I thought. The sound quality isn't much to boast about but I didn't expect much from a speaker worth 25$. If you are looking for a good low-price PC/Laptop speakers, then this product is meant for you.
