5.0 out of 5 stars Buy them if you have tight budget, January 25, 2007

These are good speakers for the price. This time, I found the price on Amazon even less than Ebay. So, if you have tight budget like me, go for it. The competetion for me was between logitech R20 which are still cheaper. I am traditionally a logitech fan but i saw some bad comments on Amazon for R20 so I went with these.
I have a good home theater system and expensive Klipsch 2.1 speakers. These speakers are far less quality than them. But then I remember that I paid hundreds for them and these are less than $30.
The speaker clarity is acceptable. The Bass is little too hi than I require and there is no control for that. But there is a neat master switch and volume control on right speaker. My Klipsch speakers has master switch on the sub-woofer which makes it tough to operate. But, although cheap priced, creative has not made such dumb mistakes. The volume is good for a small room. If you are not a gamer or listen to music on your pc these speakers will serve you well. Note that I am using these speakers only 2 months and I hope they take me at least one more year.

Great speakers for the money. These speakers are way better than the entry level ones (with no sub) you have to pay $20.00 for when you buy a Dell. The sub gives a nice deep bass. Great volume for a P.C.. Volume & power control on speakers with headphone jack is a great feature and one of the main reasons I choose these. Nice looking also. Small compact speakers fit nicely anywhere and the sub is not to bulky and looks and sounds great sitting on, not under, my desk.

1.0 out of 5 stars read the bad reviews--too much bass, tinny satellites, no power, March 12, 2007

SCOOPER (TX United States) - See all my reviews

I bought these speakers thinking that the bad reviews were probably just that--bad reviews. Unfortunately they turned out to be spot on. There is way too much muddy sounding bass produced by the subwoofer, and there is no way to reduce it except by using an equalizer such as through Itunes. And the satellite speakers, besides sounding tinny, produced very little sound. With everything turned to max that could be maxed, the volume was moderate--forget about cranking it up a bit for a song that you like. In this case you really do get what you pay for.
