Astounding sound [Posted on 2004-11-09]
I bought these about a year ago, along with a Creative Labs SB Audigy Platinum 5.1 card. Whether you are using these speakers for gaming, music, or movies, the quality of the sound is amazing. The highs are crisp, the bass is pure, and the overall sound presense is great. If you are looking for a well-priced quality set of 5.1 speakers, these are most definately the choice for any computer or small home/dorm room entertainment system.

Good sound... [Posted on 2005-03-17]
Going by the previous reviews and possibly during a price war...I bought this set of speakers to go with a new gaming computer and I am really impressed with them.

Using the onboard sound on a ASUS K8V-X motherboard....I can get good 5.1 surround sound in Unreal Tournament 2004. This adds to the gaming experince a great deal.

I like the wired volume controls...allowing easy volume and subwoofer volume adjustments.

And if they are placed approx. 3-4 feet from your computer postion...you can dialup about all the volume you can handle and still not disturb your neigbors to a great extent. And the sound positions are pretty precise.

These are also good speakers for listening to music. Clear highs and midrange...good solid bass. Though the bass will break up if turned too high.

Of course good speaker performance depends a lot on the hardware and software driving them...so I'll likely upgrade to a sound card in the future.

Not a very good experience for me... [Posted on 2005-05-14]
After purchasing these speakers and setting them up, I was very happy with my decision in buying a quality product. A few weeks later I noticed that after playing a song, or watching a movie, the speakers made a sound comparable to switching night vision on while playing Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, but going from a higher to a lower pitch. I was finally getting fed up with it so I called Creative's tech support. They took me through the steps to make sure it wasn't the sound card. After many calls they issued me an RMA number. I sent them off, paying $15 and waited. I found out that they sent me a completely new set and labled the last one as having a "cosmetic defect". Once I recieved the new set I realized that they were worse than my first set with a constant high pitch noise no matter what.
EDIT: After sending them back twice more they have finally given me a new set again. I don't even want to deal with these anymore...

Simply amazing [Posted on 2005-09-15]
I adore these speakers, they do everything i could ever want, AND they look cool. Of course, I got them with a creative 2zs gamer sound card, so make sure you have a decent sound card or you wont be able to plug them into your comp., OR if you have onboard 7.1 it will sound like sh%t. Great speakers overall.

Cool Speakers ! [Posted on 2006-02-12]
I love these little speakers and totally recommend them. They make a nice addition to my 30 sqft home office. Sound quality is good. Nice and clear high and mid tones. It gives a punch at low frequencies (not very deep, though), which is not bad at all. They far exceed the quality you'd expect for such price.
