2.0 out of 5 stars Not the best, February 17, 2005

By	Jonathan "Jong81" (NY) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)

This review is from: Dell 5650 - 5.1-channel PC multimedia home theater speaker system (Electronics)

After buying these speakers for the style and figuring they had to be good, I'm very dissapointed. I sent them back the next day because the front left and rear left speakers would distort at 75% volume. I tried adjusting my volume settings, but after never having a problem with Creative speakers, I just decided to go back to them. A set of Creative Labs speakers at half the price of these has stronger clearer bass and overall sound. They also will never distort at any volume. Also, most people are under the impression that these speakers are manufactured by Altec Lansing and carry the Dell name. They are in fact manufactured by Samsung. A solidly built, but poorly executed set of speakers.

1.0 out of 5 stars Look elsewhere for your PC speaker needs!, May 1, 2007

I absolutely never write reviews on Amazon so it should say something that these speakers have driven me to write this up. In short, look elsewhere for your PC speaker needs! Have a song you like to crank up the volume on ? Forget it! These speakers will distort the sound every time and make you regret your decision to go with the 5650s. These have a cool look, feel solid, and the center channel neatly clicks into the Dell monitor (though it likes to slip out frequently) but - really - who cares when they just sound so darn awful? But, hey, if you like to listen to everything on the '1' volume setting - these are for you !!

3.0 out of 5 stars Nothing Special, March 14, 2006

By	N. Nguyen "Tech One Do" (Cybertron) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Dell 5650 - 5.1-channel PC multimedia home theater speaker system (Electronics)

I've been using these speakers for a month now. I have them hooked up to my laptop using the soundblaster audigy 2zs notebook. They sound like what you'd expect from multimedia speakers. The satellites lack detail, and the bass can't get anywhere near 40hz. These speakers do benefit from the fact that they are 5.1, therefore they are better than 2.1 when watching dvds, and they look pretty good when paired with a dell lcd. I know that I did mention that these are hooked up to a laptop, but I have a dell 2405 24" lcd sitting right behind my laptop with the center speaker hooked up to it.
