I bought this speaker system a year ago and now it still works fine! The sound quality isn't that bad as some previous reviews stated. On the contrary, high is clear and bass is decent, mid-range is not that vivid though. But, wait, what do you expect for such a tiny little system. It's stylish as well IMHO. I really enjoy it. (...)

Over two years passed, this baby is still great!

I've only had these speakers for 6 months and the subwoofer has already stopped working. These speakers are cheap but they are also flimsy and have poor workmanship. Spend the few extra bucks and get something better.

I'm giving these 2 stars because the sound is not horrible, although you certainly should not expect deep sub-bass or high-quality sound.

The real problem is the lack of shielding. As others have noted, the speakers pick up radio frequency interference. Mine make a -loud- and very alarming noise a fraction of a second before my cell phone rings or gets a text message. They also make a strange sound when airplanes fly overhead. Additionally, I get a low hum from them when music is not playing.

Since these are not sheilded, they may also cause problems (interference) with CRT monitors, but I cannot verify this as I have LCD's.

All in all, I would definitely NOT recommend these.

I listened and Compared lots of different systems. This is the best sounding for the price range.........Sound rivals those that are 3 times as high.........Now if your looking for Bose sound buy Bose....Can't beat for under$50

I purchased this speaker for around $17 and I got more than what I expected from this speaker system. I have the subwoofer placed right under my desk and that has made listening to music a lot more enjoyable. The only down side to this speaker is the lack of a headphone jack.

This speaker system is great for my portable DVD system and I love it! Buy the system if you want a great sound in a small place like your bedroom. It gives great sound for the money. You'll be satisfied.

Headphones have better quality than these, unfortunately the $$$ price tag lured me in. I may be spoiled becuase I have a nice speaker system at home, but when I bought these for the office, I was extremely dissapointed. Here's why...

The subwoofer distorts, even at VERY low volume and there is a buzz inside the enclosure too.
The tweeters are very tinny sounding and the volume is not balanced between the sub and the tweeters.

You really get what you pay for with these speakers...

They pick up the noise from electrical currents as soon as you turn them on. Most annoying sound, TRASH.

Went looking for an affordable set of computer speakers & found this one on sale at Office Depot for around fifteen bucks. The base of my speakers is slightly different, but it's the same model #. Sound is fabulous & I'm getting used to the subwoofer (sometimes it gives the impression of coming from outside my apartment!).
Even at full price I would be happy. Perhaps if you're looking for a professional set you may find issues, but for my ears (& the price) there's nothing better, & I'm yet to try them at full volume. Now movies played on my computer really dazzle.

Very good sound for the price. It is better with the low and high frequencies up a little. The only problem is that the subwoofer housing is too small. Just put it into another box, even cardboard makes it sound better. It brings out the sub-frequencies. I use it with my PC and MP3 player.
