Summary: Great Speakers for the Price These Speakers sound great, I bought the Logitech X240 before these and had to return them because of annoying interference noise and too much bass. These speakers sound balanced, and have enough power for my needs. Summary: Really obnoxious lack of mid-range There's a range of low-mid frequencies that are too high for the sub and too low for the main 2" speakers to handle without distorting the hell out of them. It makes listening to music with relatively low acoustic string instrument notes really unpleasant. Not what I paid for; I would like to be able to listen to Joanna Newsom without cringing every time, please. Not sure I'm ever buying a Creative product again. Summary: Best in this price range, even with the Blue beacon I bought these about a week ago from a local retailer for $20 after rebates. I was not expecting much at this price, but they have a very nice clean crisp sound with plenty of bass and lots of detail on the highs. At first I did not like the sound until I realized I was just used to the muddy flat sound of my old Altec Lansings, now I know these are much closer to the intended sound. I can also hear small details that were not there before, like soft cymbols or background effects. The volume capability is more than enough with 60 total Watts and seperate bass control, which is a more important feature that I ever thought before. I like to play music while I'm working and these speakers do an excellent job. When first hooking them up it is best to set everything to middle levels, particularly computer output level and bass level on the subwoofer, otherwise you could induce distortion and blame it on the speakers. Now for the BAD parts, the BLUE LED is indeed way too bright and distracting even in a well lit room. And some sort of sleep mode would have been nice so you would not have to turn these things on and off seperately from the computer. But I would still buy these again and highly recomend them to anyone. Summary: Great sound for the package! I finally decided to replace an older set of Labtec speakers but was not looking to spend a lot of money. I wanted a simple set of desktop speakers to play music while I work on the computer or provide sound for my elementary school kids when they play their learning games. I don't have any expertise on sound quality but would definitely be basing my decision on how pleasing the sound was to me. Having a strong base is a preference. I visited several of the major electronic retailers and office supply stores. I found the Altec Lansing BXR1121 set for $29.99 included a subwoofer. Seemed like a good price and I've always known the Altec Lansing name to be considered good quality so I gave them a try. Before opening the box I looked at some reviews online and found most of them to be favorable. With everything installed I tried various music genre. Initially I was satisfied because they were noticeable better then the Labtecs but as I continued testing the speakers range, and volume control I lost that satisfaction. At the highest volume level the sound noticeably distorted and I didn't feel the sound was as crisp as I wanted so I kept shopping. A week later I found the Creative Inspire T3100 2.1 set on sale for $19.99 with rebates (reg. $49.99). Before going to the store I again looked at reviews online and found very similar comments. They have twice the amount of RMS power (29 watts) and peak power (60 watts) then the Altec Lansing's so for $10 less I figured I couldn't go wrong. I immediately noticed a difference and it was much more to my liking. The sound was fuller, richer and the base was deeper and resonated more. The 1" tweeters and 2" midrange speakers on the satelite speakers probably help. The "Dynamic Bass" and "Rich Sound" descriptions found on the box are more then accurate. Their smaller footprint was also attractive. I'm sure there may be better 2.1 systems out there in the $20-$50 range but I wasn't going to spend any more time looking. If you can find these on sale for 19.99 they are a steal. Summary: Good but ... I just got these to replace my Labtec 2424's, which, sadly, I can't get anymore. The Inspire's are a good solid sounding speaker for the money, but the on/off knob has developed a crackle when you turn it on and sometimes it takes a second for the full range of sound to come trough. I'm probably going to return them and get another set. Hopefully, that'll fix the problem. Overall though, based on sound quality for the price, these are good. Just don't crank them up too loud unless you turn down the bass or the sub. It get's a little squirrly when pushed too hard. |
