5.0 out of 5 stars Don't wate your money on Bose, buy these!, November 22, 2005

I'm a pretty discerning listener, so I wanted quality sound with my computer. However, I'm also very cheap. That said, I'd heard good things about creative speakers. When I walked up to the demo set my first thought was, "How can those little things sound any good?" But I turned them on and I was blown away. The sound was vibrant and full of life. The bass was strong and the treble was too, and the overall sound was just extremely rich and at less than half the price of a similar Bose system. The system comes with a ton of cables which are a pain to connect and keep out of sight but manageable. The desktop volume knob has proven to be invaluable, especially since I have a laptop and my other option is with function keys. It also has a bass adjustment knob right there too, which is great at night when the neigbors are trying to sleep. The little speakers look great on my desk and sound even better, although you really have to be in the "sweet spot" of the speakers to get the full effect. I don't really listen to these things at loud volumes, but they can definitely bump. I am completely satisfied with these speakers - especially at the price I paid for them. I don't think I could get better sound unless I bought a much bigger and more expensive sound system.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Speakers, Great Price!, July 17, 2005

I just purchased these speakers today, and I'm amazed by the sound quality! They've given my computer new life, to the point where I might make it the central sound system in my apartment. They have plenty of power and a great range. There's no way I could go anywhere close to the max volume without bothering the neighbors. The bass level is adjustable. And the auxilary input feature is really cool if you want to quickly hook up an mp3 player or other device. The design is also sleek and modern. Very nice.

At the store, I listened to a variety of different models including the $250 3-component Bose set. Honestly, these speakers sounded better. Even for the audiophiles out there, I can't see any reason to spend the extra $150, when these speakers are so great.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Look...The Sound...Flawless, December 25, 2005

These speakers are an amazing deal. I compared them to the "Bose Companion 2" that go for almost the same price, and these blew the Bose out of the water. Then I compared them to the "Bose Companion 3" that go for almost twice the price and they sounded almost identical. I am a huge fan of Bose, yet I can't help feeling that they dropped the ball on multimedia speakers. The remote could not be easier to use. You just turn the volume knob up and the speakers turn on. There is also a bass adjustment on the side of the remote. While the subwoofer is large, the sound it can put out is even larger. The audio cables that connect to the remote makes the system even easier to hook up to just about anything. I mainly use these speakers with my ipod, and the sound is far superior to those of the other small ipod speakers. The Look and the sound are flawless. WONDERFUL SPEAKERS.

An Update:
While I remain impressed by these speakers, the build quality isn't great. After ~1 year the base of the satellites started to give way, causing the speakers to tip over. I tried fixing them, but found they are only connected by a single screw. This should be sufficient, yet the screw doesn't go through the base. Actually its only held to the underside rubber by a glue. I'm not sure what glue Creative uses, but I tried them all. The speakers still fall over.
