I was suprised about the bad reviews here, I have always loved these speakers, I listen to them all day at work. I just thought I'd look around at what's out there and came across my speakers reviews.

I don't know if the other reviews are from audiophiles, but for COMPUTER SPEAKERS in this price range I would say that you get more than your money's worth. Sure it's no Klipsch, run by some Mackintosh amps, but it's also not something you have to take out a second mortgage for.

Bottom line - outstanding value.

To rebut the other reviewers, - the base is made of metal and it's heavy, so it doesn't fall over easily, but it is tall and thin, so I guess if you are knocking into it it will fall over.

As for the balance, use your computer to adjust the balance. Go to microsoft.com if you need that basic of an instruction on your computer.

Love these speakers. Didn't really think of any while I walked into store. Suddenly this one shot into my eyes. Certainly the model I need to fit on my new silver LCD monitor. With its decent sound quality. I am strongly recommending this model.

Easy installation with no tools required. No driver needed. just plug it in and play with fun.

I just got these today and have gone through an extensive testing session and I'm elated! Gotta love Christmas...They're very simple to set up, even though it looks somewhat daunting at first. The looks are great, and the whole system is very solid. The speakers are made out of a nice heavy silver metal, no painted plastic here. The volume/bass dial is a very cool addition, and the dials spin nicely, with the volume dial being backlit so you know the power is on. The sub is also very solid; overall it's a very well built system. The sound is just incredible, very impressive. I'm sure all the audio nerds will find something to complain about and sound nerdy doing it ("The mids are a little to tinny for my taste"...) but they really do sound great. I did a long trial session with a variety of tunes, tweaking with the sub volume throughout (the sub is killer by the way), and everything from Bob Dylan to Rush and Morrissey sounded very good. The sound is very clear and crisp, nothing is muddled at all, and the clarity holds up at higher volumes. For such little speakers these crank out a lot of sound. Overall, I'd say these are excellent speakers at a great value.

I bought the T3000 and have enjoyed them so much that I thought I'd give these a try before my exchange period ended. Not that I dislike the T3000 but rather I was wondering if spending a little more would give me a little bit better sound.

The mid-range is really weird on the 3200. Super thumpy music can drown some of it out but over all it still sounds a bit odd. Piano is way, way off.

There are a lot of positive reviews on line so obviously some people like the accoustic signature of this speaker. I really don't care for the sound but you may like it just fine. I strongly suggest you try it before you buy it.

First of all sorry if I make any mistake, I'm spanish (the former and the latter are strongly interconnected).

Those creative speakers are cute and not too expensive, but:

1.- The mid range sounds a bit weak compared to the almost annoying enormous bass(i have levelled it near the minimum in order to achieve a precarious balance).

2.- non-lineal volume control(an inconvenient attitude).

3.- I have them for eight months and, first barely audible but by now an almost imbearable distortion (without regard to volume) has appeared.

I suppose that it's only that I'm not lucky and I bought the faulty ones...

Hard to believe these only cost me $39.00. The are a nice little set of speakers for my shelf. I have them hooked up to a Apple Airport Express base station and they work perfect. Nice clear sound and plenty of power to fill the room.

One year ago, I bought this speaker at gateway for $80. The sound quality is OK. The two small speakers look not bad also, but they fall from time to time, because the footstand is small and the gravity center is high. I think the Creative Inspire T3000 is much better designed.

BOUGHT THESE FROM J&R NEW YORK,

combined with my SB AUDIGY 2 ZS,THEY SOUND PRETTY NICE after half a week breakin time,

happy with these

Previous reviews on sound quality are right on target. But it's also true that these speakers don't cost much, so it may be a case of we get what we pay for. I have a few things to add:

1. To me, the speakers sound tinny.

2. No balance control. Not a problem if you plan to place the speakers symmetrically on either side of your computer, but if your desk space requires a different layout, you'll find this frustrating.

3. The big issue -- one of the speaker outputs just didn't work in the set I got.

4. Creative's customer service is poor (that is, the industry standard in electronic and computer equipment).
