Although very cheap, these speakers deliver great value! Crystal clear audio and great bass, these speakers are perfect for just about any use. The Corded remote makes ajdusting the volume easily acessible. The power switch is a little smaller, and more out of the way, but you can get used to it. To experience the full 4.1 surround sound, you need to have a creative sound card, or one that supports the 4 chanel output. otherwise you're limited to 2 front speakers. Overall, its a fairly decent set of speakers, and very good for the price!

This review is from: Creative Labs SBS 4.1 450 Computer Speaker System (5 Speakers) (Personal Computers)

When I got a new computer several months ago, with DVD compatability, I got rid of my television. Now I only watch movies on the computer. But the speakers which came with the computer were horrible to say the least.

When I finally purchased this particular speaker system, I was amazed at the sound quality. I'm not an electronics guru or anything like that, so I am easily intimidated by stuff like this. But the setup was very easy, straightforward, and self-explanatory. Very little instruction was required. One thing which was required (and is not included in the package) was a Y-plug. This may be required for most computers. If you end up needing one and don't have one, you can still enjoy quality sound from two of the four speakers. But Y-plugs are very inexpensive.

I highly recommend this system.

These Creative SBS 450 sounds crisp, with a booming bass subwoofer and very nice midrange. It's a little lacking in the high range though, but that's probably due to the tiny 3 inch satellite drivers.

Buy two more 12 feet RCA extension cables and you can wire up your room with four speakers on each corner in the ceiling, makes for an amazing mini home theater.

The wired remote is also a big plus, now you don't have to craw around to adjust the volume.

All in all, as a first time Creative speakers customer, these exceeded my expectations.
