Creative Gigaworks Series II T40 Speaker System (51MF1615AA002)

Pros: These speakers sound great and have a nice full sound. The bass is not overpowering like so many speakers these days. Give them some time to "break in" to…

It can play great at loud noises, but I really thought with air ports the bass wouldn't be so crackly.Looks good, sounds great. The price is a little steep for the performance. It can play great at loud noises, but I really thought with air ports the bass wouldn't be so crackly. I read many reviews saying the base was great for these speakers, but with the knob slightly turned up on base, at higher volumes it does crackle. These would be perfect if the price was lower. Really not worth 150. If you don't want the clutter of a sub woofer, these lows, highs, and sound quality is great for 2.0 speakers.

Pros: These speakers are pretty big as a 2.0 set up. Yet still saved lots of space compare to my 5.1 set up. That's the main reason i bought this set. Sounds decent to…

the speakers do more than what i thought they would do am so pleased with them had a little trouble finding ande extension wire for the but finally found one and they sound great where i put them

Pros: Plenty of sound to fill a room Great highs and still enough bass to satisfy* aesthetically pleasing(in my opinion) ...Cons: *The bass I find enough for what I usually…

Pros: Sound is good 2000+ hours so they are fully broken inn and yes the people that want base on this speakers want a sub-woofer base LOL get a sub and combine the…

Pros: Ok, by themselves they are OK. But I combined these two speakers with Cyber Acoustics CA-3602 30 Watts RMS 2.1 Flat Panel Design Speaker System
Item #: N82E16836150086 . I replaced the two smaller speakers that came with the CA-3602 with these T40's. WOW!! What an awesome sound!! It was well worth the money spent! I was literally blown away with the sound!!Cons: These two by themselves sound pretty good but they really need a satellite bass speaker to complete the system.Ok, by themselves they are OK.

I was literally blown away with the sound!! These two by themselves sound pretty good but they really need a satellite bass speaker to complete the system. I cannot figure out why Creative doesn't combine these with a remote bass. It makes or breaks the quality!

Pros: My goals were (a) to rid myself of computer-station clutter and the pops and bumps of inexpensive 2.1 systems and (b) to still have reasonable sound. Ignoring the bass, my adjustments yielded acceptable highs and mids given the price of the speakers. Still, the sound quality at these frequencies does not approximate any sort of "audiophile" level.Cons: IMO, the speakers lack significant bass regardless of adjustments. No disrespect meant, but the prior reviews convinced me that the bass would be adequate for me given my goals. But, not!!! Given that your main goals are similar to mine and you can live without significant bass, I recommend the speakers given the price.My goals were (a) to rid myself of computer-station clutter and the pops and bumps of inexpensive 2.1 systems and (b) to still have reasonable sound.

Pros: Great sound quality and range for a 2 speaker system, slim design, easy to use, love the easy access audio jacks on the frontCons: a little priceyGreat sound quality and range for a 2 speaker system, slim design, easy to use, love the easy access audio jacks on the front a little pricey

Pros: These are good speaker but, not for the price its currently at. The knobs at front such as base and treble knobs are a great unlike my bose companion 2 speaker which have volume only.Cons: BASS! BASS! BASSSS? There is non.... compare to my $90 bose companion 2 speakers These are huge speakers compare to my bose Campanion 2 (2x the size) That silly light in front is awfulYou will need your rubber gloves to adjust the volume(not kidding) The knobs are ultra smooth <---understatment
The genius that put that idea there is a complete idiot.

The genius that put that idea there is a complete idiot. Compare to my Bose companion 2 that cost much less these are awful for the price. The price for these should be 75 for the proformance.

Pros: Great sounding, great looking pair of speakers. I've owned many expensive sound products in my life, and these perform up to the standard you could expect for the price and item type.Cons: A bit large, but still slim enough to fit on a small desk.Great sounding, great looking pair of speakers. I've owned many expensive sound products in my life, and these perform up to the standard you could expect for the price and item type. A bit large, but still slim enough to fit on a small desk. For people who have never owned a good pair of speakers or headphones before, these will absolutely perform well enough to allow you to hear all of your music in a brand new light. Audiophiles won't find anything new or amazing here, but will still be satisfied enough to make these your primary desktop speaker.

Pros: Got the them today at work, soon as I got home set these bad boys up. Ill tell you what these are some of the best speakers I have heard for the price range. They fit prefect on my desk. So far so good!Cons: None they rock!!!Got the them today at work, soon as I got home set these bad boys up. Ill tell you what these are some of the best speakers I have heard for the price range.

These speakers have crisp clear highs and good mids. The bass is enough turning it half way up. They shake the walls with good bass and volume. A well made two…

Pros: The sound and style are great, and the lack of an additional sub saves a lot of space around the work station. For classical or your favorite club hits, these are a must have.Cons: none that I have noticedThe sound and style are great, and the lack of an additional sub saves a lot of space around the work station.

Pros: sound/sizeCons: nonesound/size none

Pros: Good looking speakers. The bezels are shiny and the drivers look good without their covers. As others have said, there's a lot of clarity and depth in the sound.Cons: Sound-wise, I expected more for $140. The bass is adequate for PC listening, but it's a bit hollow. I've tried it with my 40" TV, and while the sound was BETTER than the normal TV speakers, bass was lacking and there was distortion at loud moments.Good looking speakers.

The bass is adequate for PC listening, but it's a bit hollow. I've tried it with my 40" TV, and while the sound was BETTER than the normal TV speakers, bass was lacking and there was distortion at loud moments. The hard-wired cord that connects the two speakers is far too short. It's adequate if you have your speakers set on opposite sides of your screen, even with a dual-monitor setup. However, if you wanted to put the speakers more than 4 feet from each-other you would be out of luck.

Pros: Great, full, rich sound from computer speakers - they rival the 2.1 speaker set I had from creative that I bought a couple years back. The bonus? That there is no subwoofer under my desk anymore. Can control bass/ treble on the fly with the dials + covers if you don't like the look of yellow speaker cones.Cons: Not extremely strong bass (no subwoofer), but decent enough (not a hardcore bass fan).Great, full, rich sound from computer speakers - they rival the 2.1 speaker set I had from creative that I bought a couple years back.

Can It be possible to love a set of speakers? These things rock.

Pros: Outstanding pc speaker. Those looking for more performance out of a pc speaker had better look elsewhere, such as a pricey multimedia speaker. As a pc speaker I doubt you will find much more in a pc speaker that will deliver the highs and lows that these babies do for the price.
like I said, those looking for more performance, better open up their wallets and shop for a multimedia speaker.Cons: None at this price level.Outstanding pc speaker.

like I said, those looking for more performance, better open up their wallets and shop for a multimedia speaker. None at this price level. You don`t have all those blasted wires that you have with a three piece sub-woofer combination. Works great with my multimedia keyboard.

Pros: Great Sound - probably on par or better than my m-audio set.
Nice looking if you care about that.Cons: Bigger than I expected. They dwarf my wife's 15.6" laptop I got these for. :)
I recommend you get a ruler and see...
External power brick. I wish they could have built this in to the speaker but then maybe that would have made them even bigger.Great Sound - probably on par or better than my m-audio set.

Pros: Price. I bought during the pre-Thanksgiving sale.
The mids and highs are okay. Acoustic guitars sound pretty sweet.Cons: This unit needs a subwoofer.
The bass is anemic. The lack of bass really kills it.Price. I bought during the pre-Thanksgiving sale.

Pros: Finished appearance, good sound. Robust sound from speakers a bit large for a desk, more like bookshelf size. Quite tall. Smooth switches, not static generating like some other cheap computer speakers(my Altec-Lansings come to mind) Surprising bassCons: Imposing size for a desktop, but a big sound too.Finished appearance, good sound.

Don't be fooled by photos. yellow speaker cones are covered by a black, semi transparent, fabric grill. I prefer the fabric covering as all other components are black.

Pros: Based on what these speakers ARE: rich, deep sound. Beautiful black shiny finish. Sexy looking. Higher than usual quality for desktop PC speakers. Easy to hookup. No popping, hissing, or noise.Cons: None so far.Based on what these speakers ARE: rich, deep sound. Beautiful black shiny finish. Sexy looking. Higher than usual quality for desktop PC speakers. Easy to hookup. No popping, hissing, or noise. None so far. I have purchased several 2.1 and 5.1 systems over the years. In most cases, the bass module sounds horrible, and isn't worth using. This 2.0 system is the best sounding simple 2.0 speaker sysmtem (for PCs) that I've ever owned. Most of my bass-heavy house-mix CDs sound warm and fuzzy - just great. Aion sounds awesome on 'em. That's a big plus - because I'll be on Aion for many, many hours...

Pros: Sounds great. Haven't noticed any distortion with loud music or the common popping/crackling when turning on and off the speakers.Cons: Had a few blemishes. The packaging doesn't seem like it's meant to be shipped. It also has less bass then I'm used to, but thats understandable being only a 2.0 system.Sounds great.

Sometimes I think people just write bad reviews online for page hits.

Pros: Small foot print, easy portability, attractive design, headphone jack , fairly good sound for general computing use.Cons: Distorts badly at higher volumes with demanding audio source.Small foot print, easy portability, attractive design, headphone jack , fairly good sound for general computing use. Distorts badly at higher volumes with demanding audio source. I'm not a gamer and don't need a lot of bass, so wanted to stay 2.0 and for most applications these speakers have sufficient bass response. But for $150 I figure I should be able to push the 2.0 audio envelope a bit. I'm also an older guy, so my audio demands are less intensive than a younger rocker. I'm not looking to rattle the windows. But attempting to play a piano jazz CD with treble and bass adjustments flat, anything over half volume distorted badly. Playing a DVD action movie sounded just fine. Streaming talk radio sounds OK. I will probably RMA these, but I haven't made up my mind until I try some other music CD evaluations.

Pros: Good quality sound. Lightweight and portable.Cons: Hmmm....if I have to think this long, there really aren't anyGood quality sound. Lightweight and portable. Hmmm....if I have to think this long, there really aren't any

Pros: Compact for their sound quality
Easy to setup
Great sound
Solid bass frequency responseCons: NoneCompact for their sound quality

I use them for video editing including scoring the videos to popular music. These speakers work great in my space because they are compact and fit into the limited space of my desktop while providing a full bodied sound. For desktop speakers they go fairly loud without distortion.
There are separate bass and treble controls and a backlit volume control knob which also switches the speakers on. The blue backlight is not too bright (like reviews of the older T40s indicated). In addition to the line-in input on the back of the speakers there is also a line-in and headphone jack on the front of the speakers.
These speakers are a great addition to my desktop computer. Highly recommended :-)

Pros: I was looking for a small speaker with high quality and big sound. These are perfect. They were easy to set up, look great, and most importantly, sound great. I like the portability of the speakers. I use them at work, home, and play. So being able to move them along with my lap top and/or MP3 player is great.Cons: NoneI was looking for a small speaker with high quality and big sound. These are perfect.

I am not picking as far as my treble/bass settings, so I have no say regarding those types of concerns.
