5.0 out of 5 stars Great Sound, Little Money, March 5, 2008
It's sad that these speakers are getting beaten up for poor shipping and handling. Why rate the speakers poor if abusive handling causes damage to your shipped item?

I gave these speakers a 5 for their excellent cost to sound quality ratio. I use them in my bedroom on my gaming PC. Sometimes I play ITunes through them, and they are great for this. Nothing ever distracts me from the sounds I am listening too, whether its the crackle of leaves as I crouch prone through foliage, or I am listening to rock music as I get ready in the morning. There is no hum. There are no imperfections. The Bass is not too heavy. The highs sound good, and the mids are not muddled.

Sometimes, sound quality is real hit or miss with computer speakers. Spend too little money, and you get some real garbage. Sometimes the subwoofer isn't matched well to the satellites. I bought an Altec Lansing for my teenage daughter, and the subwoofer on that is VERY overpowering. She uses her headphones most of the time, so its not usually an issue.

The Philips set was right on the money. There is no headphone jack, but this is minor. Also, there is a BRIGHT blue LED light on the power switch. Its a fairly good reminder at night for me to power down the speakers.

The speakers are low and squat. They are impossible to knock over. I would not trust small children around them as you can easily push on the speaker cone, but there is no bubble to flatten out so it can take some abuse from toddlers and babys.

I tucked the subwoofer out of the way. The subwoofer volume control is on the subwoofer box, so its kind of a pain to adjust, but at least I am not accidentally dialing it up like I do with my Creative speakers.

For less than a price of a video game, you can have a set of speakers that lasts many years. I have had mine now for 14 months and they are still going strong.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Sound, Quality Lacking, December 21, 2007
I had purchased these from the Philips Outlet about 2 years ago. They sound great, but lately the volume knob has failed (I believe the soldering must have failed) and the speakers no longer work. Worth the $25 or so I paid then, I wouldn't buy again for more than $30. Also, they get sufficiently loud (and are clear), but only enough to fill a medium-large bedroom.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good sound for low price, February 13, 2009
By Captain Morgan (Central Valley, CA) - See all my reviews
This is a great product for the price. I used it to play music off my mp3 player mostly and it was great for that. The sound quality is pretty darn good. The bass from the sub is clean and crisp. The mids and highs are good. Not the loudest system around but it is loud enough. I just recently dropped one of the sttelites and broke it loose from the housing so i am upgrading to the logitech z 2300. I loved the speakers i just wanted to try something new. Overall i have been very impressed by this system.
