Customer Reviews:

Absolutely the best bang for your buck! [Posted on 2005-02-17]
I bought these off of BUY.com for $17.99 with free shipping. Probably the best deal I have ever gotten off the internet! I hooked these up to one of our TV's and the difference in sound is amazing! These little speakers sound really great and pack a ton of bass response! I had to turn the bass down because it was too powerful! The sattelite speakers have a really ambient sound to them, and listening to the digital music channels through my sattelite is outstanding through these! For under $50, these can not be beat! The wired remote is a bummer, though, but for $17.99 I won't complain!

Great quality for an inexpensive product [Posted on 2005-02-22]
I rarely write reviews, but for the XA3021 I have to login and put a few lines. For $20, this is the best buy ever for me. Incredibly clear response on all frequencies, strong bass and hiss-free. You can't go wrong with this one, unless you can't find a place to put the odd-looking speaker pieces. I wish they chose a more modern design.

Highly recommended: great sound for a good price. [Posted on 2005-04-25]
Apparently these are discontinued or for some other reason unavailable. I found my set on ebay. Do what you have to do to find them. I bought them on acution for $25 plus $15 shipping. If you find them for $50, still buy them. These are low-end (in price) with a very good sound. As I write this, I've been listening for about 15 minutes. Way better than standard issue computer speakers. Way!

They look funky, so if appearance is an issue you may want to pass.

As another reviewer notes, you may have to buy a connector if your computer audio card has a small 1/8th inch style receptacle (don't know the technical name). Radio Shack has this type of jack for about $5 dollars.

Also, they have no balance dial on the controller pad. However, these days operating systems come with audio controller software, so you can adjust the balance through your computer.

I'm quite satisfied. Don't know why they appear to have been discontinued...but if you're looking for good quality at a modest price, spend the time to track these down.

Headphone jacks LOSE CONTACT [Posted on 2005-10-19]
I am very agitated with this crap. The whole contraption is excellent instead of the headphone jacks. The jacks aren't build to stand the over-use of them which means that they only reach contact with one headphone speaker, and I gotta even press the headphone cord in SO HARD that it will have contact with both speakers. I did not find any solution to this problem.

BIG sound, SMALL price! [Posted on 2006-12-17]
In my office we've had everything from this set (which I bought for $19.95) to speakers costing up to $349. These get the most compliments and are the coolest looking 2.1 set out there in my humble opinion. Hard to go wrong, even for $50. You won't be disappointed!
