Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

With its Max-X band-pass ported subwoofer, Labtec's Pulse 475 2.1-channel PC speaker system is designed to deliver strong bass response in a compact system. The stereo satellite speakers are powered by eight watts apiece (RMS, or average), and the subwoofer receives a hefty 12 watts. The system can pump 56 watts total during sonic peaks, ensuring adequate dynamic slam for music, movie, and game viewing in an intimate environment.

Independent bass level and master volume controls are conveniently located on the subwoofer's front panel, and the flat-bodied satellite speakers not only looks great, they also help conserve valuable desk space. The system includes an AC power adapter and color-coded speaker cables to keep installation as simple as possible.

What's in the Box
2 satellite speakers, 1 subwoofer, an AC power adapter, color-coded speaker cables, user's manual, warranty info

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Stuff for the Price., November 18, 2003

I have been using this system for couple of days, even though the frequency responce is not as good as my last creative speakers I am satisfied with its performance. For some reason i was not able to find even a single set of speakers with frequency responce starting from 20Hz at an affordable price. All seem to have minimum responce of around 40Hz and if you are buying one with that responce I think Pulse 475 has an edge. The system is compact making it ideal for Laptop users like me. Still I have not been able to check its full output as the whole floor vibrates at half and I don't want to have an argument with the guy downstairs.

5.0 out of 5 stars VERY SATISFIED, October 18, 2004

I got these speakers to replace the built-in speakers on my Compaq laptop in my dorm. I don't think they'll ever be able to make quality laptop speakers but anyways...These speakers are perfect! I've had them about 3 weeks and they work tremendously, especially with the subwoofer. The sound is very complete and the set is ridiculously easy to setup. No drawbacks worth complaining about in the review. A very good value. Labtec is the off-brand/generic for Logitech so don't be fooled by the fact that you may have never seen the brand name before.

3.0 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for, March 26, 2004

This review is from: Labtec Pulse 475 Speaker System (2.1) (Personal Computers)

Ok, I wasn't expecting much for $33 dollars and I wasn't surprised. (I didn't get much.) I'd be hard pressed to give these speakers 5 stars like the other reviewers before me.

The satellite speakers sound very tinny at low volume levels. As you crank up the volume, the overall sound improves. Crank up the volume, move back away from the speakers (about 10 feet), and I'd rate them 4 stars (for the price). But...isn't the reason most people buy PC speakers for working at the PC (close distances) and for background music (lower volumes)? Be prepared to spend some time tinkering with the equalizer settings to get a decent sound at low volume. For that reason, I'd give them only 3 stars.
