5.0 out of 5 stars Creature Speakers, an iBook and me... oh my, June 5, 2003
By A Customer
Like many others I fell in love with these while poking around in the Apple store. Sure they sounded great attached to an iPod in the store, but I wasn't sure how they would sound in my room. I couldn't resist the great price on Amazon and my own little Creatures arrived not 30 minutes ago.

My initial reaction was one of disbelief. I still can't believe how much sound can come from such a tiny package. They sound great with all music types, as I've tested out some songs of Jewel's as well as selections from the Requiem for a Dream remixed soundtrack (which is excellent, incidentally).

The treble and bass are fantastic, but you'll have to work around the mid-range a bit. A little tweaking of the knobs on the subwoofer and you'll be rather pleased with the sound. Of course, while adjusting said knobs you may find that they are not in the best location if you store your sub underneath your desk, as most people do.

That being said, I am totally thrilled with this purchase. The design of the speakers just ooze cool, particularly the blue LEDs and touch-senstive volume controls. If you're looking for a set of speakers to look and sound fantastic on your desk, look no further.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blew the HK Sound Sticks away, December 16, 2002
By Involved Dad (Denver, CO United States) - See all my reviews
I had been looking at the Harmon Kardon Sound Sticks ...and was set to buy. I was encouraged, by a friend, to consider the JBL Creature(s). WOW.

The decision-maker for me was playing the exact same cut of music (in the is case it was an acoustic guitar based track) on the Sound Sticks along side of the JBL's. The short version of the story was the set listed here blew the HK Sound Sticks away. The JBLs are faster, crisper, and more exact. The reproduce sound in a way that is convincing.

The HK Sticks have a bigger bass and presence, but are muddy in a side-by-side comparison.

At the Amazon price you save....

My friend has them hooked up to his TV, as a super-efficient jr. home theatre -- it really adds a lot to movies! Great product.

5.0 out of 5 stars JBL Creature Speakers, May 14, 2003
By Donald Teixeira "bazerkly" (Fremont, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am using the JBL Creature speakers on my G4 Mac. I am quite pleased with the sound.. Great highs and good bass... The sound is clean and flawless. There is plenty of volume. If you are into Hip Hop and want a thundering bass you might not be happy. The satelite speakers are small and take up little room. The Sub woofer can be placed out of the way... There is a volume control on the right satelite speaker. There were no problems setting up... I did find that when connecting the speaker wires they had to be pressed in quite firmly to make a connection. Last... The on and off switch is in the back of the sub woofer. It would have been better in a location with easier access.
