1.0 out of 5 stars Expected better from CreativeLabs, January 23, 2004

I recently purchased these speakers and was amazed at how bad they were. These are not cheap speakers.

The purchase was for my CD player and computer. The problem is that when you turn up the volume to any decent level, there is buzzing and alot of noise, especially on any bass tone.

There is also a switch at the top between the up and down volume buttons that's supposed to produce a "Wide Stereo Effect". It actually makes the noise worse.

While they do look nice (though they have a tendency to fall over), the sound quality make these not worth purchasing.

I've returned these speakers and am now looking for an alternative.

Maybe I just got a defective item, but the sound on these is almost unlistenable. I had to take them back. This surprised me, because I very much liked the low-priced computer speakers they make under the Cambridge Soundworks brand name.

Go for the comparable speakers from Panasonic (RP-SPT70), which sound great and are exactly half the price! It was a choice between the Panasonics and the expensive Sony offering (which I still haven't heard), and I'm very glad I saved the money and went with the Panasonic.

In any case, avoid these Creatives!

5.0 out of 5 stars TRAVEL SPEAKERS! Great, depending on your needs., April 12, 2004

These speakers were quite surprising at first listen. For the miniature size (and they are small) these speakers really put out a nice loud sound. Almost unbelievable. These speakers will work best as sound for a ONE ROOM environment. Don't plan on replacing your home stereo. The main complaint from most users is that the speakers distort under high volumes. You can't expect home stereo sound from a tiny unit like this. But, believe me, the sound is more than adequate for travel purposes. For example, these are perfect for a hotel room or a nice sound source during a day on the beach. They are MORE than adequate for those types of applications. Don't buy these speakers with the intent that they will serve as at-home computer speakers. These things are fantastic for the road and best of the best in travel speakers. However, sometimes people can expect more than is technically feasible. Considering the size and price, these speakers ROCK!
