This is an update to my prior review below from about 6 weeks ago... I thought my speakers were dead after 11 years. BUT, turns out it was totally operator error and I'm quite embarrassed. I seriously thought I had checked, double checked and then rechecked all connections to the speakers, computer, etc. and made sure everything was plugged in. I was ready to hit the the button to complete an order for a new set of these. But in my mind I couldn't believe and accept the fact they would have really completely stopped working. I decided to check one last time before putting them in the trash and sure enough, one of the connectors was not fully connected. First, I don't know how I didn't catch it the previous times I checked and second, the connectors are really secure so I don't know how this happened. Regardless, the speakers are working just as well as the day I bought them and they suit my needs perfectly!!! If you're on the fence I would bite the bullet and make the purchase. These are beyond amazing and a great price for the quality you are getting.I purchased these speakers in June if 2013 and overall was very happy with them. They were a bit larger than I would have liked but to me the sound was good and they are a nice looking speaker. I also liked the wired set up versus USB or wireless. I know many have complained about the auto shut off or standby feature but that wasn't really an issue for me. That is until a week ago when they simply never came back on. I think 11 years is a good run and honestly they still look brand new. While I'm giving these speakers 5 stars for everything I've just mentioned I'm not sure why but this go around I'm a bit reluctant to purchase these again. I'm looking at other options, maybe something smaller but most have a USB hookup. Also, I don't want to compromise on sound but don't want to spend a lot of money and I'm not sure I can find something better for this price. I'm anxious to get new speakers but don't want to make a rash decision.

Buen sonido para una computadora. No es sonido de fiesta Pero si funcionan muy bien

Gran calidad de materiales y sobretodo de fidelidad de audio, Grabes y Agudos excelentes, tiene un buffer que aunque interno, se escucha muy muy bien, las recomiendo muy ampliamente, creo que las podría comparar claramente con unas de un precio mucho más alto

Muy buen producto, ni se diga el sonido y la presentación que da al lugar de trabajo.Además muy buena atención del vendedor y envío súper rápido

Halten was sie versprechen, guter Klang, gute Technik. Und sehen noch gut aus.

Están hermosas,.se.escuchan muy bien, los bajos si se oyen demasiado, el único inconveniente que veo es el precio.

Adquirí estas bocinas por 2500 pesos, y en serio que valió la pena, vengo de unas Logitech z623.Los medios y agudos son infinitamente de mejor calidad, el sonido es brillante y agradable, sólo recomiendo bajar los agudos un poco.Respecto a los graves, no se comparan al subwoofer de las z623, pero no se quedan atrás, simplemente es decente, pero no se siente cuerpo en los graves.Respecto a la calidad y visual que dan, son muy buenas, me gustaron mucho, y el volumen en mi opinión es mas que suficiente.Lo único que en mi opinión les hace falta, es otro puerto de entrada en la parte trasera, por el resto están increíbles.Muy buen producto por el precio en que las conseguí.

Bocinas de un tamaño considerable, pero debido a sus 2 driver por bocinas se pueden lograr una sonido fuerte y sin mucha distorción. Los bajos se perciben mas profundo gracias al diseño de las mismas bocinas sin embargo los medios se llegan a perder un poco, sin embargo esto no supone un problema para disfrutar de la musica o sonido a un muy buen nivel de volumen, ademas debido a su control de bajos y tremble se puede regular para tener un sonido nitido la mayoria de las vecesSu nivel de volumen bastante aceptable, lo destacable es su desempeño con un DAC son capaces de soportar salidas altas y amplificadas aunque de esta manera se puede acentuar el problema en los medios, la potencia y claridad que ofrecen son muy buenas sorprendetemente los bajos no distorcionan mucho con el sonido amplificado por el DAC

gr8 speakers and sound is perfect for the PC

Dual base . Amazing sound clarity for this little speaker.Even though price is little high it’s worth every paise.. better than 2.1 speakers as it has dual base and we can hear mid tones clearly

Las bocinas son bonitas y su potencia es bastante, pero al comparar con otras bocinas de Creative, creó que se quedaron cortos en los sonidos graves, o bajeo. Pero sí buscas calidad de audio y potencia en poco espacio estas son las ideales. Y por el precio están bien .

Debo decir que tenía altas expectativas cone estas bocinas ya que el precio era el más alto que he pagado por bocinas para computadora.El envío llegó en apenas dos días y medio. Su diseño es simplemente precioso.Se escuchan bien, la verdad, convencen. Solo que, comparando con mis bocinas anteriores (unas Logitech son un subwoofer grande), existen algunos archivos de audio que estas Creative no suelen reproducir de una manera fiel. Afortunadamente, son muy pocos los casos en que quisiera sonasen mejor.Conclusión: La verdad sí las recomiendo; por su belleza, y porque en la mayoría de las veces suenan muy bien.

A little background:I have gone through a lot of speakers over the years for various reasons (upgrades, speakers stop working, damaged drivers). Once I got my first 2.1 set I knew I always wanted a sub-woofer in all my speaker sets. But as I upgraded into larger speakers over the years, my taste in music changed to those tunes that employed heavy bass and beats.Now that I listen to these speakers, I sort of realize why. Most 2.1 PC speakers are enjoyable for many types of music, movies and games (explosions). But, if you want to enjoy an immersive audio experience, you need to turn the volume up. At which point the bass becomes overpowering and disturbing to (neighbours or other people living in the house).REASON for 2.0:The fact that I enjoy loud music and the general lack of space in my room pushed me into looking for quality 2.0 speakers. I had heard a Bose audio dock and couple of other (premium) smallish speakers without subs throw a descent amount of bass. So I figured why not? After a little research, I picked these up.Research: [...]BUILD: Awesome.PROS : They are heavy for just satellites. So there seems to be a good amp(s) and quality drivers in there. The controls are just perfect (although a little smooth to grip properly). Bass, Treble and volume - Brilliant classic controls. The speakers themselves don't take a lot of space on the table. There is a snug-fitting grill on the front that is easily removable. Those orangish-yellow cones look even better in real. There is a power adapter with a reasonable length cable on it. The cable connecting the two speakers are long enough for two wide screen monitors.Overall build feels a thousand bucks. :)CONS (Not really): These are quite tall (you may read that mentioned often). Its not tall in a bad way, just oddly tall :PAUDIO: immersive and full-bodiedPROS: The speakers have a very flat response and most music sounds quite natural. I wouldn't really consider them studio monitors but they come close. The mid's and treble's are especially detailed.I'm just amazed at the clarity the speakers provide. I was able to enjoy songs I hadn't heard in a long time and could hear nuances and instruments in the background. You know you have good speakers when you enjoy music like that.At 32 Watts the speakers aren't exceptionally loud. However, they are loud enough to fill a room and more than loud enough if you are sitting in front of them. Even at the max volume, there is surprisingly minimal distortion.The specs mention a frequency response starting at 50HZ. Not so sure about that, but it can deliver good audible bass (100Hz) with a little tweaking. Using the sound-card's EQ settings, I increase the bass at around 100HZ mark by a few decibels. The bass/treble controls on the speakers have a broader range and aren't as specific as a proper equalizer. However, they still do a great job and I use them on the fly when required.Also to note the, volume/bass/treble controls apply to headphones connected to the speakers as well (which is rare and awesome)CONS : If you have used 2.1's before, you will definitely find the earth shaking bass missing. There is no sub! If you want to shake the floor, get something else.SUMMARY: I bought them at $109 on sale and I feel like that was a steal ! I have had 200 Watt 2.1 systems which I enjoyed for other reasons (parties).This speaker however, I have been enjoying it personally !If you are looking for 2.0 systems, i think they are good buy no matter what.
