Customer Reviews
This is a wonderful little system. I have hooked it up to an MP3 player and also tried it with my laptop. In both instances the sound was wonderful. It was easy to hook up, in fact I didn't even use the directions. The sound was deep znd rich, with subtle bass provided by the subwoofer. The unit is very compact, but delivers big unit sound. And even more impressive is the relatively low cost of the system. It compares very favorably to systems costing many more times the dollars. A great buy.
I bought this to add to my newly built system. I have nothing negative to say about it so far, only good things!
Why I bought this brand? - I will admit that I was not very sure what I am spending money on when I clicked the One-Click button and made the purchase. Let me emphasize that this was not an impulse buy by any chance, I did research a bit about 2.1 speaker systems and did consider other models, mainly Logitech and Creative, before I bought this! What worried me though was the fact that I had never heard anything about this brand or their reliability, and there was very little information available on the net, which is not a very reassuring sign. But I decided to go with this, mainly because of 2 factors:
1) Aesthetics: My new build has blue led fans all through out - 7 fans on the case and 2 CPU cooler fans! So Blue was definitely the predominant theme on the desk and this added to that very elegantly. So yes the major reason I stumbled upon these and got stuck was because I was searching for speakers with some LED lighting on them. I know it is not a very technical way evaluate a speaker, but who wanted to get technical and spend a bomb on a pair of speakers for your computer - not me! I have a 7.1 home theater set up for serious listening and entertainment, this was majorly for listening to some light music while I worked and for my 2 year old son to watch Thomas (he loves Thomas) and for my amateur movie soundtracks!
2) Price: This definitely is not the cheapest or the costliest out there, computer 2.1 speaker systems can be your from $15 bucks onwards upto around $400. This falls towards the lower mid range when it comes to money, which was okay with me, I was not going to spend more than $50 for a pair of speakers and I could have got a more known brand for that price, but non of those well known brand out there even came close to these beauties in terms of looks and aesthetics! It was between this and Harman Kardon Soundsticks III, if I had got the Harman Kardon for $50 I would have defenitelly bought those! :)
Okay now to the actual product review:
I was pretty surprised when I got the speakers. They were very well packaged and had a cardboard padding around them in the box and the speakers and subwoofer was very well protected! It comes with a 3.5mm cable!
Took them out while my son was playing with the box and got it hooked up in under 5 min, this included some cable management, and referring to the manual once. I had to look at the manual because I could not find where the input jack was to which the speaker cable would connect to on the subwoofer. It looked like a screw hole at the back of the speaker, but it is the input jack (for any one who is as blind as me)!
Hooked the light green 3.5mm cable to connect to the motherboard audio jack, same color (refer you motherboard manual to be sure, if you don't know) and connect the other end to the subwoofer, attach the speaker wires to the subwoofer and plug the power cord into the wall and switch it on. That's it, that is all of the setup required, no CD's to run, no software to download!
Once on you see the true splendor of the blue LED lights, it looks better than in the pictures, it is definitely a good buy if you like LED lighting, if not then don't buy it because there is no way to switch the lights off, it will stay on as long as the speaker is on! I like it that way. The sound is great quality too, exceptional for this price and it plays bass very well as well, you can definitely feel it if you have them on the desk like I do!
They are very stable on the desk, another added plus that I was worried about, I have had speakers in the past which were very wobbly and would tip over with the slightest force like a keyboard touching it! But not this one, they are pretty well designed for stability.
The 4W satellite speakers are excellent for music, I've played all kinds on them, they all sound equally good, as good as you can get on a 2.1 setup, the sound isolation on the left and right is awesome and the drivers do a more than sufficient job. The bass comes from the 9W subwoofer and that is great sounding too. While playing games bombs and gunshots sound very realistic and you have volume and bass controls right on the front panel of the subwoofer!
So overall it provides good value for money and a great looker too. My only wish is that it would have come with a remote control, that would have been great and I wouldn't have to bend and reach every time I wanted to soften the volume or bass a little bit (I place my subwoofer on the shelf under the desk and not on it)! But hey apart from that I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and performance so far, reliability I'm waiting to find out, its only been a week since I started using it, will update this review if something goes wrong, although I have a very strong intuition that this will last long, if I manage to keep it far out of reach from my 2 year old! :)
