5.0 out of 5 stars Surprising Sound, March 22, 2006

By	David J. Brule (Lewiston, ME United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was an audio nut long before I was a computer nut and am rather particular about sound. I bought these speakers as a gift for a friend and set them up for her with her computer. At the price, I figured that they would be speakers that would "get her by" so that she could hear what was going on with her computer.

After the speakers were set up, I turned on some music through her onboard sound. I found the speakers to be quite a bit more than expected. They had crisp, clean highs that rival that of my more expensive Yamaha computer speakers. And the subwoofer produces a warm, tight bass that hangs in there even with the deep thump of todays music.

Though I'm a novice at audio equipment set up, I believe that I'd be safe to say that hooking these up would be easy for anyone. Everything is clearly marked.

These speakers have been being used for 3-4 weeks now, and there have been no issues. I would highly recommend these speakers, especially at their price.

One last note, I have been able to personally compare these speakers to, as previously mentioned, Yamaha computer speakers and Creative Sound Labs speakers as well. My opinion is that these sound the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing for the price, July 3, 2005

By	S. Ostrander "budgetqueen" (waterbury, ct) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was looking for big sound with a very small price tag to fit in a small space and I found it! I am very fussy about sound but knew I didn't have the wallet at the moment to match. But since my very old speakers crapped out, adequate speakers would be better than no music at all. THis system came as a very welcome surprise. The sound is crisp. Subwoofer provides a reasonable amount of bass (you won't get floor thumping out of it) and is not too big for the shelf it needs to fit on. It gets quite a range of sound for the price. And it produces fairly big sound -- not at all that tinny compressed sound of cheap PC speakers. I expected maybe one step up given the price tag but got so much more. If you are on a budget, this is the way to go.

One word of caution from the box -- the subwoofer is not shielded so you have to be careful where you place in relation to your computer!

3.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre sound, occasional clicking, August 13, 2003

By	Ellis Godard (Moorpark, CA United States) - See all my reviews

You get what you pay for. I tried to save money and still get quality sound, and I only saved only. Only a few months after purchasing these, there's a clicking that starts a few hours after the speakers are on and continues, getting louder, until I turn them off and let them cool. Argh.
