eehh.. they're ok [Posted on 2008-03-03] Well i just received these speakers about a week ago. The sound coming out of them is great for such cheap speakers. I did notice that when i got them too close to my internet modem they made a really weired ticking sound. but other then that they seem to work fine
Great Price Great Sound [Posted on 2008-04-07] I wanted some powered/amplified speakers for my iMac computer to run iTunes and also to hook up my iPod. I wanted to buy a set at a store, but most stores did not have any set up to test. Others had only the more expensive sets on display (Gee, I wonder why?). I decided to look on Amazon. I read through tons of reviews and looked at different speakers. For $19.99, no tax, and free shipping, I thought I'd try these. So far, they sound great. They are small and so don't take up too much space on my desk. Plenty of volume for a bedroom/home office sized room. The separate woofer helps fill out the sound. The volume control moves very smoothly. Some reviewers objected to the blue light. It matches the power light on my LaCie External Hard Drive and my Dymo LabelWriter 400. So no complaints here....except no headphone jack on the main speaker like my old set. I just put a dual jack adapter on my iMac so that I can hook up the headphones. I just turn off the speaker so I can listen when the kids are asleep. I'm thinking about buying another set for work.
Wow not even one month and it is broke. [Posted on 2008-04-08] Item worked great for a about two weeks. Given i knew it was going to have interfearnce problems with cell phones but I've had it for less than a month and now there is a constant humming noise that it emits whenever I turn it on. Not a very good item. Sound was great when I got it but it just did not last. Buy at your own risk. I guess some people have better luck with it.
Adequate Sound; Dodgy Design [Posted on 2008-04-15] Based on a first impression, the unit delivers okay sound for its price. Others have compared it to boombox quality, I'd say it's about one rung up. Pleasant enough, certainly better than the lo-fi speakers of my ViewSonic monitor, but nothing spectacular. Also, as is the case with low-priced unit, there's no balance control for the bass. Sound is pretty well balanced as it is, but if you are unsatisfied, you'll have to rely on your software for adjustments, not the speakers themselves.
But, as has also been noted elsewhere, what are you expecting for the price?
One thing that hasn't been noted is that the bass-reflex unit is essentially a ported box with the unprotected speaker attached to the bottom and facing toward the floor. No covering or protection of any kind. This shouldn't be a big deal if you're planning to plant the unit in some inconspicuous, low-traffic spot and don't intend to move it much. But the lack of protection speaks to the somewhat cavalier design attitude toward this unit.
Presuming this unit continues to perform adequately, it's a satisfactory item for its price. Just don't expect astounding performance.
Don't Bother - Poor Quality [Posted on 2008-04-20] Not worth the time or money - Poor Quality - Even Worse Sound - lots of crackels and pops - inside interference!
