Compact size; lots of power [Posted on 2008-04-05]
These speakers were smaller than I expected, which ended up being a good thing, as I still got the sound levels I expected (rather than them being tiny or thin-sounding based on their size).

The speakers have the advantage of being incredibly loud if desired; I always keep my volume set in the lower third. These speakers would be great for presentations in large rooms. However the frequency range isn't as large as I'd prefer it. Some sounds may experience cutoff at louder volumes.

The 3D switch seems to increase the strength of the middle frequencies to produce a "surround sound" effect. It's hit or miss with certain songs or even movies. While the music does get enhanced, and the 'surrounding' feeling is there, sometimes the vocals or any dialogue is completely drowned out.

The subwoofer is lacking, though. The bass does not have an individual setting, and its small size may be a disadvantage in this case. The bass can still be heard, although it can't be felt as well as the output of other brands of subwoofers.

The satellite speakers are not permanently attached to the subwoofer and can act as standalone speakers if desired. They don't receive the amplification from the subwoofer, of course, but they are still decent on their own using only the output of your sound system.

The back of the subwoofer has a 3.5mm input jack and 3.5mm output jack. The set comes with a long 3.5mm male-to-male cable to be hooked into the headphone-out of your laptop or desktop, for example. So you may need adaptor cables depending on your sound setup.
