When my friend told me he had gotten some amazing speakers for his entertainment center, I was expecting the world. This tragic little system, however, is so underpowered I had no choice but to be disappointed. Even for digital speakers, these lack in power. The bass is disappointing at best, the mids are too strong and the highs tinny. For this amount of money, you SHOULD be getting one of the following:

Cambridge SoundWorks FourPointSurround FPS2000 - this system is amazing, and the same price as this one.

Altec Lansing 621 2.1 Surround System - another good system for the same price as this one.

You need a couple audio crosses from Radio Shack for almost no money in order to connect either system, but the hassle is well worth it for quality sound. Otherwise, just go buy some Sony MDR v700s and never look at speakers again.

I tried for months to get Intec's other Vertical Stand/Speaker combo and all my local stores were out, then I saw this just the other day, and I was thrilled when I finally got it all hooked up. First off, I have to say that Intec thought of every possible scenario when they put this package together, they include cables and hookups for just about every TV/AV configuration, and this was a bonus for me because I have an older TV without AV Jacks. The product is great, it looks awesome when it's all set up (makes the PS2 look sleek and powerful, trust me on this one) and the sound quality is without a doubt great for those who don't already have an expensive surround sound system. This sound system is also great for playing DVD's. Prior to this I had to unhook my PS2 from the VCR and plug it into the TV if I wanted good quality video from my DVD's, but the drawback was I lost my stereo sound (it went back to crappy mono) but now the sound is 100% better with the 3D system enabled, it sounds like I have a state of the art system installed in my room! I have one complaint, and that is when you turn the system on/off you get a pretty noticable 'pop' from the speakers, and this always freaks me out because I think I'm doing something wrong. Overall though I would reccomend this to anyone who has a PS2 and no sound system. ...

When I purchased this item, I did not expect the world. (For [the price] you shouldn't) It is basically easy to assemble and get started the quality of the sound is pretty good (For the person getting the noise when turning it off, turn the volume down first) The sound quality is good. My only complaint of the system is that the wires for the external speakers are not long enough, and I will probably need to get extenders for my own use. Otherwise, worth the $$$.

Sweet Jesus this was horrible. It creates way to much heat and is over priced! If you really want a good sound system get one from Kinyo, they have a great 5.1 game zone system for cheaper. This system dosent have any mid-kick in the so called "Sub Woofer" and the speakers may look nice but are just ... plastic. Not to mention the speakers having no crisp sound. The wires arent long enough but it IS easy to put together and that is the only credit I will give them. Not worth the money!

This is for people who like style and hate quality and sound.

Ignore the previous messages from kids writing the glowing reviews. This system is exactly what you should expect for such a low price. Everything about this system screams [poor]. [Poor] plastic, tinny speakers, virtually no bass out of the sub. Keep the volume low or else you'll go nuts playing the action games. My tv has no audio inputs and I wanted to see if the sound would be better with this system. It's not. It's pretty much what I expected, but it doesn't even look nearly as sleek as the pictures show. Pretty much a waste of my money.

This system is for players that are into volume. The advantages like a central sub with volume and bass controls make it worth while. Lots of cables to attach and short speaker wires set this machine back to only 4 stars. The machine comes with a total of 4 speakers. Also, this sytem comes with a verticle stand for both systems(PS2,3-D Surround System).

If you are looking for a real surround system buy the Kinyo 4.1 or 5.1 home theater systems. These things are powerful and massive. Even though they are only 50 and 80 bucks. Just plug the audio outputs from the PS2 into them and bam-you got real sound.

I just have to say...WOW! Not in a good way, oh no. Alike others on this site I can't say ENOUGH bad things about this system. If you're looking for a no name brand distorted piece of crap...then today's your lucky day my friend. I just gotta say...If you want surround sound, get SURROUND SOUND! Bose, Klipsh, or something along the line is great. This piece of crap sounds like a handheld radio that you get in a cereal box...and that's sugarcoating it. And anyways..the last time I checked...you can't surround a room with only 3 speakers...much less crappy ones with plastic less sturdy than a disco ball...Horrible

I wish I had read reviews of this before shelling out the money! I can't say enough bad things. They are terrible in every way imaginable!

The concept of the 3D surround sound is awsome the product itself is really good and has alot of power. However the magnets in the subwoofer (located right next to your PS2 unit) screw with the internal mechanics of the game system itself resulting in possible loss of contrast in the video, I do not recommmend this specific product.
