5.0 out of 5 stars Great Bargain, December 7, 2005

This review is from: Creative SBS260 Speakers (Personal Computers)

I already have a dedicated stereo system when I listen to music so all I was looking for was the cheapest available speakers for my PC, something that would play mp3s and movies at moderate volumes. The Creative SBS260 actually sounds pretty good, has a very balanced sound. Not too much bass or treble and theres actually some resemblance of a midrange. Suprisingly wide stereo effect too. Personally I wouldnt spend more for a PC speaker system unless a subwoofer was needed. For the dirt cheap price the Creative SBS260 is hard to beat.

This review is from: Creative SBS260 Speakers (Personal Computers)

I ordered these through Amazon (as apposed to the other, less expensive sellers) and got free shipping, so it actually comes to less money than the other "stores", and... they arrived in *2* Days! Anyway, on to the speakers... as one of the other reviewers said, I wasn't expecting much for the price but they were so cheap I figured I could afford to "experiment". I set the volume on about 1/3 capacity and plugged them in. When the Windows screen opened up, Wow! What a great, full sound. So, I lowered the volume and played some real music. It sounded a little tinny at first, so I adjusted the graphic equalizer and I can't believe how good they sound! The bass end is slightly (almost non-significantly) lacking, but the sound is so full and crisp, good midrange etc. I'm really glad I didn't get the really expensive Bose or other higher priced brand. My 12 year old daughter blew out the old speakers that we got with the computer 4 years ago, but if she does it again, for $16 I got an extra pair. For the price especially, get these for your computer. You won't be sorry!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Cheap Computer Speakers I Have Owned, March 19, 2006

I have bought several different sets of cheap computer speakers (among these Philips and Altec Lansing), and these Creative SBS260 are the best of all of them by far. Where normally the sound of computer speakers is flat and distorted, these little wonders give a very precise and wonderfully clear sound. To boot these speakers are nice and small, and look great.

I use these speakers to watch DVDs on my computer, and the only thing I could wish for is a bigger screen: the sound quality is perfect thanks to these speakers.
